Eighteen years ago, Sommerset Kiter made a mistake and it cost him the love of his life. Drifting through life chasing the next best thing for his career, he never stops to remember because with remembering comes hurt and anger. But now, as a retired-from-active-duty Colonel, he's putting together a team. A team of elite men who have the skills needed to go where MI6 wants them to go but cannot sanction. The Charing Cross Boys. Six of Britain's best of the best, and the first recruit under the team captain is none other than Kiter's childhood best friend and ex-lover Rhys "Leo" Campbell. Coming home after an argument is one thing but coming home after an argument and an eleven-month deployment to find your boyfriend in bed with another man is something else entirely. Rhys "Leo" Campbell, late of Her Majesty's Special Reconnaissance Regiment team, The Zodiacs, is currently serving as leader of Police Special Operations for Scotland Yard. He is approached and recruited into MI6's most recent off-the-books team. It feels good to be wanted, needed, until he meets the boss. His ex-best friend and love of his life, Sommerset "Scorpio" Kiter. The man he found cheating on him nearly twenty years ago. The missions sound amazing, and he knows he's the best one for the job but can he keep his heart out of the way so he doesn't get hurt again?

After a disastrous first mission without Leo, Kiter makes his way to Leo's flat, needing the care only he can give. They make a plan to work together to avenge their fallen brothers. Together will they save the world? Or set it on fire and watch it burn?

Working their newest case, one that claimed the lives of two other agents, The Charing Cross Boys Team juggles their personal lives with the uncertainty of their professional future. There's a traitor in their midst and the CCB Team will stop at nothing to bring them to justice.
