After one year, eight months, and five days -- after both being shot, after Mark Vincent rescuing Quinton Mann from kidnappers and Quinn rescuing Mark from a rival anti-terrorist organization, after dealing with deaths in the family and betrayal in the workplace, the CIA spook and the WBIS spy are going to get married. “I hope you feel deeply loved, for you are. I have no greater gift to offer you than my heart, and I give it to you freely. I promise I shall always do my best. I feel honored to be your husband, and I ... I’m happy to call you mine.” Those are Quinn’s marriage vows to Mark. Mark’s vows remind Quinn he’d promised forever. Their story hasn’t reached its end yet -- there are questions that still need answering. What will happen to the spy and the spook and the people they love when those answers are finally uncovered?

You Were Made for Me

“So tell me, babe. How was your day?”


“Interesting.” I thought about my conversation with Bryan, but now wasn’t the time to talk to Mark about whether or not to consider a family of our own. “And yours?”


“You’re never gonna believe this. That asshole Jenner had the nerve to call me at work.”


“Did he really? Because of that contretemps with Taylor at the airport?”


“Only partly. He said he was ready to let that go.”


“I have to admit that surprises me. It doesn’t sound like him.”


“Ah. I suspect there’s an ifthere?”


“Yeah. That was just an excuse. They want you back.”


“Because they realized how badly they screwed up, and they aren’t going to get you back.”


No, they weren’t. Unless it was for reasons of my own, I never permitted anyone to ride roughshod over me.
