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

McGovern eyed Lennon. “Hey, Perig, you mind giving me and Kellogg the room? We need to chat about some super-secret agent stuff—shop talk, you know how it is.”


If Lennon rolled his eyes any harder he’d pull a muscle, but Ben didn’t say anything about it. He nodded, and Lennon headed into the bedroom. He didn’t want any more friction between Lennon and McGovern. It would only further raise suspicion, and they didn’t need that right now.


Besides, if Lennon wanted to hear anything he could just listen in.


McGovern waited until Lennon was out of the room and the door closed. Then he turned to Ben, mouth hard. “Listen. I know you’re a good agent, one of the best we’ve got.”


“Why do I see a ‘But’ at the end of that sentence?” Ben fought to contain his temper. He and McGovern were technically equals. He didn’t need to take any kind of questioning from this guy.
