Love in Retrograde — Charlie Cochet

Enthusiastic, play-it-safe Kelly Sutton is an American intern at the Photonic Royal Society in New London. He's been working on Project Mars for over a year, a mission kept so secret by the society even Kelly doesn't know exactly what it is. What Kelly does know is his contribution to the task will benefit mankind, and that's enough for him.

Kelly's world turns upside down when concerns over his mentor's behavior lead Kelly to investigate and stumble upon a wicked truth. What is supposed to be a project to advance human life turns out to be an endeavor capable of mass destruction. The terrifying reality forces Kelly to choose between looking the other way to keep his job, as he's always done, or risking his career and even his life to do the right thing by saving the man who's captured his heart.
