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

The fact that they were protesting in such a way based on inaccurate information—lies—infuriated him. He decided he didn’t want to know if it angered him more than the way it endangered the employees in the first place. Some people just weren’t meant to know these things about themselves.


He knew there was a possibility that Bannerman, or someone like him, might be lurking in the crowd somewhere. He didn’t care. Ben was with him, and those were all the precautions he was willing to take. At some point protection got to be too restrictive. He’d become a recluse, some kind of weirdo who never left the apartment, and then where would he be? What good would he be to the world?
