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?

“I hate to sound unsympathetic, but Ginny treats Alice as if her sole purpose in life is to help Ginny. Well, enough of that. Alice will deal with her. Now, what can I cook that will knock your father’s socks off?”


“Um…Jill, do you think that’s a good idea?”


“Why ever not? You know I love to cook.”


Jesus, my poor father, “Uh…Jill—”


“Let me get going, Wills. I’ll need to come up with a suitably romantic, candlelit dinner that will be guaranteed to turn your father’s mind to mush. We’ll see you and your friend on Saturday, sweetie. Love you.”


“Love you more,” I responded automatically. “Bye.” I hung up and turned to find my lover hovering in the doorway, and briefly I forgot about the ordeal my father would be facing. “Jill thinks you sound nice.” I grinned as he actually blushed. “She’ll let my Dad know how things stand between us.”


“Will he be all right with it, do you think?”


I sighed. “He will when Jill gets done with him.”
