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

Rada reached for her phone and started typing. “So I’ll reach out to the consulate and start looking for manufacturing space near your villa in Carcassonne?”


“Sounds good.” Lennon nodded and pulled himself together. “I think you’ll have better luck finding space in Narbonne or Perpignan, so someplace along the corridors between Carcassonne and those two cities would be ideal. Um, HR won’t think there’s anything too weird if we start looking into international relocation expenses because that’s something we’ve done before.”


“Sounds good. I’ll figure out what we need and take it from there.” She stood up and let herself out of the lab.


Ben closed the door behind her. “You okay?”


“I’m fine.” Lennon exited the lab, closed it behind him, and headed for his chair. “It was a kind of challenging conversation, but it needed to be had.”
