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

Former director of security.Kaden had come into the organization under false pretenses and as such couldn’t be tolerated as an employee for one minute longer. He was only still there because he was part of the NSA and his resources could prove useful, and because Lennon didn’t feel like fighting two different battles.


He was a peaceful guy. His whole career had been built around peace—around science and knowledge as a cure for war. Sure, he’d designed a bullet, but it was a bullet created with the intention of rendering war as harmless as possible to the living. Why then did he suddenly find himself thinking in terms of battles and strategies and enemies?


He couldn’t make himself like it, love it, or tolerate it. This was something he had to endure to get to his end goal, which was survival and escape. Kind of like those dreadful Victorian Literature classes he’d been forced to sit through in undergrad.
