Henchman

A Corporate Action Thriller with an M/M Romance

Jagger Hill didn't plan to become a henchman.

But the job came with health insurance.

Now he works maintenance at a classified corporate facility, eleven hundred meters beneath the Pacific Ocean. The title on his badge reads Henchman: Grunt, which mostly means fixing pipes, running the occasional karaoke night, and not asking questions about the secret research happening behind locked doors.

It's strange work.

But it pays well and the insurance keeps his sister alive.

So Jagger keeps his head down.

Until the alarms go off.

By the time he escapes the collapsing base, Jagger is the only one left. Every other soul in that underwater lab is gone, and he's walked away with the one thing his employer would burn the whole world to get back.

Now Jagger finds himself in the custody of Rafferty Cross: a French secret agent with a classified employer, an unclear agenda, and the kind of face that makes Jagger suspect he's in an entirely different kind of trouble.

He has to decide who to trust, what to sacrifice, and how far he's willing to go to survive what comes next. Especially when the one man who may be able to help him is also the one he shouldn't want.
