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

He pulled out gently and went to the bathroom to clean up. Then he came back with a soft cloth to clean Lennon, who lay in the same spot with his eyes half closed. “I think you broke me,” Lennon told him, with a lazy grin on his face. “Seriously. I think all my brains just shot right out of me.”


Ben snorted and crawled back into the bed. “Cute.” He took Lennon into his arms. “Thank you for that.”


Lennon fell silent for a moment. “Thank you.” He looked down. “I keep thinking that I shouldn’t want you anymore. But let’s face it. I’m never going to stop wanting you. For a smart guy, I can be kind of stupid, apparently. I never do seem to learn. You’d think after ten years, I’d figure it out.”
