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

Strong hands gripped Lennon’s shoulders, and light flooded his vision. He blinked as he adjusted to the switch. He couldn’t tell much about the building he was in, only that he was in a basement. He could hear cars somewhere nearby, but that only meant he was probably still in New York. He smelled vomit, thanks to Bannerman, and Sigmund’s aftershave. Underneath it all he smelled something damp, but beyond that he couldn’t make much out.


“Great. Now you’re showing him his cell.” Bannerman rolled his eyes.


“Like it matters.” Sigmund scoffed. “It’s not like he’s leaving here alive.” He glanced down at Lennon. “No hard feelings. It’s not personal.”


“Maybe not from where you’re sitting.” Lennon knew he was slurring his words. He couldn’t stop it.
