In 2002, Mark Vincent, onetime senior special agent, ran into John, a troubled little boy, at a local McDonald’s. Concerned, although it wasn’t his business, he gave the kid his business card and left. Three years later, Mark is director of his department at the WBIS and married to Quinton Mann, the former CIA spook who now writes spy novels. They’ve settled into a life of quiet domesticity and are even considering adopting a cat. All this changes when John, now using another name, barrels into Mark’s life with a secret no one expects and on the run from an organization that wants him despite the collateral damage. What will Mark, the man known as “the best” in the intelligence community, do when he learns what this secret is? Will it affect his relationship with Quinn? And how complicated are things going to get when Mark decides to get involved?

Mann of My Dreams Book 5: Complications

Here looked like a warehouse on the outside. It took up most of the block.


Deuce parked the car on the street in front of a sign that warned about opposite side of the street parking.


Again, Babe decided not to ask if he wasn’t worried about the car getting ticketed or towed.


He got out of the car and took her suitcase from the backseat.


She blew out a relieved breath, hoping that meant an end to the inquisition.


The door to the warehouse opened right off the sidewalk. Deuce unlocked it and walked her into the building. A short man stood in the vast corridor.


“This is Finchley,” Deuce said. “He’s Dr. Gautier’s personal assistant. He’ll give you the grand tour.”


“Thank you so much, Deuce.” It seemed there was no love lost between the two men.


Deuce set down her suitcase, gave her a final once-over, and then turned on his heel and entered a waiting elevator.


Babe looked around. Wow, how wrong could my first impression have been?
