Meet two men who need each other’s help but don’t realize it until it’s almost too late.<br><br>Noah is gay and terrified someone might find out. So much so that when he was blackmailed with pictures of himself with another man, instead of coming clean, he left his SEAL team without a word.<br><br>The other man is openly gay Mason, a former Marine and now part of the FBI’s Joint Terrorist Task force. It takes eight years after their first meeting in the desert for a chance event bring the two men together again. Now Noah must decide if he’s ready to accept who he is or if it’s easier to cut and run. Can they navigate the obstacles in their path to build a relationship? And why does the thought of that scare them more than investigating a group of terrorists?

In His Sights

Adrenaline surged through Mason’s body, his heart pounded in his ears and his anger sizzled. What the hell had gone through Noah’s brain—picking a fight with five guys? They could have killed him. And what the hell had they been thinking, taking on one guy? “Son of a fuck.”


Noah kept his eyes closed as Mason checked him.


“I’m sorry.” Noah sounded like a wounded animal.


“Shh. Shh. You don’t need to be sorry. You’re okay.” Mason leaned over and placed a kiss on Noah’s forehead. If Mason went any closer to Noah’s lips, he wouldn’t be able to stop.


Mason believed the beatings had started as a way for Noah to punish himself, and the only reason Mason could think Noah felt he needed to be punished was because he liked men instead of women. Fuck. How could Mason help Noah accept that part of himself? Mason didn’t know if that was even possible. How would Mason get through to Noah, get him to understand who he was, and that what he felt was okay? Help him accept he was normal?
