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

Noah came into the kitchen as Mason put the first piece of bread in the pan. Perfect.


“Have some coffee or juice. This will only take a couple of minutes.” True to his word, Mason cooked quickly, then finished stuffing the toast with his banana concoction and covered them with strawberries. Noah set out plates and silverware as Mason brought over the food.


A feeling of rightness washed over Mason. He could get used to this.


Both men ate in silence, except for a few hums of approval. Mason ate less than usual. His nerves ran rampant thinking of what he wanted—no, needed—to say to Noah. The discussion would be hard on Noah, but Mason hoped their talk would help lessen some of Noah’s pain. Mason would start right after breakfast, so they could put the previous day’s events behind them.


When Noah finished his second plate, he stood and reached for Mason’s empty plate. “Are you finished?” Noah asked. “I’ll clean since you did all the cooking.”
