David Jessman has everything a man could want... except love. David Jessman has it all. A great job, a wonderful home and wealth. What he doesn't have is a lover to share his life. Bells is a gunwhore, a bodyguard and whore rolled into a single, neat package. He has nothing but his guns and a rather special set of skills. When fate brings them together, neither man could have predicted the startling outcome. Received a Gaylactic Spectrum Award Nomination for 2003. Originally Zoner appeared in Wired Hard 3 from Circlet Press, which was a Lambda Literary Award Finalist in 2003 in the Anthology category. Reprinted in the Idols anthology by Berbera and Hyde (Random House, Italy). Warning: The Through Neon Eyes series is m/m with strong BDSM and D/s themes.

David Jessman has found his lover; what he's lacking is control of himself, the situation he's in and the blond gunwhore known to him only as Bells. Bad as that is for a man used to being in charge, he's finding that losing control may not be that terrible after all.

With his life—and emotions—turned upside down David finds himself unable to concentrate on his work because his mind is just not on his research. His thoughts are on the new experiments he’s been part of in his apartment. Experiments that are whetting new found appetites for things more satisfying than food or money. Research involving his own psyche and an addiction called Bells

David's addicted to Bells, and a gunwhore is a hard addiction to break. Addictions have their drawbacks, and David Jessman would be the first person to admit he's addicted to the passions he's only felt in the arms of one man: Bells, the LC Zone gunwhore and deadly zonewarrior. Having gotten so wrapped up in his personal life that he forgets to do anything but daydream about a certain blond gunwhore David finds himself in serious trouble with his boss. Trouble that Bells promises to make right—somehow.

Bells has to find a way to end the threat to David's life, which means going back to the LCFree. Bells returns to the LCFree while Jessman deals with the backlash of his inattention at work. What will the two men do in order to stay together despite the different worlds in which they live? And how far is Bells willing to go in order to assure David's safety?

Power can be a dangerous thing. Power has its price. Now the head of Polymer Gel Research Department at NeuroTech, what will Jessman have to give Director Perez in exchange for the privileges that come with such a rise in the corporate ranks? What will Bells do if he turns out to be the party favor in a game of corporate politics? And exactly what is Director Perez really after? Is it David, Bells, both of them or something else entirely? Then there's the Director's gunwhore, Mae. Bells doesn't trust her, but then again, he doesn't trust anyone, not even David.

Playing power games with corpers can be risky. Playing them with Zoners can get you dead. Power games. Corpers play them for reasons of wealth and satisfaction. Jessman is trapped in the middle of a power game with his boss, Director Perez. But Zoners play power games too, and they play for keeps.

The power games between Bells, Jessman and Perez come to an explosive conclusion. Bells had made many promises to Jessman not the least of which is to get him out of the current situation with Director Perez. But how can Bells do that when Jessman's job, his very life, is tied to NeuroTech and the research department Perez heads?
