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?

Townsend glowered. “That’s need to know.”


Lennon raised one blond eyebrow. “So no, you haven’t made any progress. That’s good to know. I have to wonder, Kaden, if it’s not deliberate.”


Rada frowned and leaned forward. Ben shared her confusion. “What do you mean, deliberate? They wouldn’t be here if they didn’t want to keep you safe, Len.”


Lennon opened the saltshaker. He closed it again. “The thing is, according to these guys, they’ve had agents on me since I came to Boston. They’ve had what, twelve years to figure out who might be after me. And they sent Greg—Ben—here back to Cambridge, which they wouldn’t have done if they didn’t have specific information about a credible threat.
