William "Wills" Matheson is a computer whiz, hired by Huntingdon right out of college. He's groomed for a position in the Washington Bureau of Intelligence and Security, a sister organization to Huntingdon. Eventually, he's promoted to senior special agent in the department of Interior Affairs, under the notorious Mark Vincent. Instructed by Trevor Wallace -- The Boss, and yes, that's in caps, of the WBIS -- to follow Vincent after his apartment is destroyed, the younger agent discovers why the man is considered the best when Vincent easily spots him. Rather than knocking him down as expected, Vincent orders Wills to accompany him to his friend's bedside in GW Hospital. There, Wills meets the rent boy known as Sweetcheeks and is instantly struck by the handsome redhead. Wills has never had a male lover before, but he's more than willing to give it a try. Gradually he begins to wonder if there could be a future for them together. Things look positive for them when Sweetcheeks confesses his own love, but Wills is a WBIS agent, and Sweetcheeks is a rent boy. Will their jobs come between them before they can explore their newfound love?

Is It You?

“That’s great, Marti. Do you have families picked out for them yet?”


“She only had three this time! Mom says we can keep them! And guess what!!”


“Marti, you can hang up now, Mom has it.”


“Hang up now, Marti.” My stepmom waited until the extension clicked. “Hi, sweetie. How are you?”


“Is everything okay, Jill? How come Marti’s home? It’s the middle of the week.”


“Everyone is fine, Wills; it’s after three, of course she’s home. What about you? Is everything all right with you? How come you’re calling in the middle of the afternoon on a workday?”


“I did good on an assignment, and my boss gave me the day off.”


“Ah, that’s great. Wait until I tell your Dad. He’ll be so proud of you.”


The pride in her voice was evident, too. “Cool. Listen, Jill, I’m calling about the family picnic.” There was one every year for Memorial Day. “I’ll be there, and I’d like to bring someone home with me.”
