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

“It usually is.” His cheeks got hot. “But seriously, Rada, I have no idea what to do here. He says he’s here for the long haul now. The Agency’s fucked up. Someone inside is corrupt, someone’s giving bad orders, and we’re not sure where that leaves any of us.”


“So when he comes back to you, once Bannerman’s taken out and this wacky Russian lady’s been chased back to Moscow or whatever, and tells you that everything with the Agency’s been smoothed over and he’s heading back to work, what do you do? Do you decide to abandon the move to France and hang around Cambridge for another eleven years and go all Miss Havisham?” She crossed her arms over her chest.


“No.” Lennon clenched his jaw and stood up. “I love him, but I’m not about to do that this time. I can’t.” He took a few steps toward his desk. “I didn’t even do it last time. Sure I was sad. I still am. But I stayed in Cambridge because I was still in school. I had nowhere else to go, either.”
