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

Ben chewed on his knuckles. It was an old habit, dating back to his earliest days as an agent. An agent couldn’t show signs of anxiety, such as bitten-down nails. He’d transferred his bad habit to his knuckles until he could eliminate it all together. “What the hell? I figured Sigmund would be trustworthy.”


“I know.” Kaden bowed his head for just a second. “Think about all the missions he coordinated for. Everything he could have compromised. How many went south? How many people died? And we—the Boston based agents—we all comforted him, every time it happened.” He shook his head. “I don’t know how long this bullshit’s been going on, but it ends. Next time we see him it’s going to be a race to figure out who puts a bullet into him.”


“Five-minute head start.” Ben wasn’t joking. He wanted to make Sigmund pay.
