A brilliant scientist out to save the world. A jaded agent looking to save the one he lost. And a conspiracy that spans oceans, reaching into the deepest parts of American national security. Lennon is a genius. He’s devoted his energy and his time to designing products to save lives. He’s gotten rich doing it, too. This time he’s created something to revolutionize war, crime, and policing -- a bullet that heals. He’s on top of the world and the one thing he needs is someone to share it with. The one he loved disappeared without a trace years ago, and until he gets closure he can’t commit. Ben is an agent with an agency so secretive for years people didn’t know it existed. He screwed up years ago and fell in love with the man he was supposed to be guarding. Now his lost love is in danger again. He’s developed a product bad actors all over the world will want to get their hands on. When Ben’s superiors order him back to Lennon’s side, he goes without hesitation. There’s only one catch -- Lennon can’t know he’s there. When one of those bad actors strikes, all the rules go out the window. Can Lennon overcome his mistrust once he knows the truth about Ben? When the enemy turns up the heat, will Ben manage to save Lennon from people who want him to kill?

Under His Skin

“My God.” Rada pinched the bridge of her nose. “I…He didn’t know. Did he?”


“No.” Ben clenched his jaw. He wanted to pour his heart out to Rada, explain everything, but it wouldn’t change anything. He’d still screwed Lennon over. Trying to explain himself would waste precious time. “Okay. That’s the car he got into.”


“I’m in his phone records.” Townsend looked at Rada and his face softened. “When I came on board, I set up his phone to ‘back up’ to a disk that I controlled. I don’t look at it, I respect his privacy, but I figured if anything happened I’d be able to trace his steps. And here we are. According to his ride share app, he never got the message that the company actually sent. Instead, the message was intercepted by a message from ‘Jamal.’”
