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

Okay, Jeanette Van Orden. Pull yourself together. She didn’t know what was happening, but she couldn’t take Scottie with her. She reached for the phone. The only thing she could think to do was call Delilah.


“Not a problem.” Del yawned. “I had to get up soon anyway. What’s up?”


“I thought he was going to send for you to join him in Boston. Is everything okay?”


“I don’t think so. He sounded scared.”


“He didn’t come back to your apartment?”


“No. He wants to meet me at Java Joe’s.”


“And you’re worried. Okay, bring Scottie to me. I’ll be more than happy to watch him.”


“I’m supposed to meet Sweets, Pretty Boy, and Spike to plan out a scene for a new client, but that’s later this evening. It can wait.”


“Thank you. I’ll try to keep it brief.”


“Don’t worry about it. I love spending time with my nephew.”
