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

Instead of taking the car, Lennon threw the keys into the nearby forest. Then he turned and spoke to Jamal again. “The bots will wear off in five hours. I’m sorry that I had to do that to you, but I’m sure you’ll understand. I didn’t have any choice. Not really.” He closed Jamal’s burning eyes so they wouldn’t dry out and found his abductor’s phone


He pulled the battery out of the phone and shoved it into his pocket. He thought about throwing it into the woods, but he didn’t want to risk having the battery materials leech into the ground if it wasn’t found in a reasonable amount of time. It might be a small gesture, considering that he’d just spent three and a half hours in a gas-guzzling SUV, but it was something.


Then, Lennon took a deep breath and walked over to the hut. His vision swam, and he figured that he should probably do something about the blood loss, but he had to take care of some other things first.
