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

“I didn’t take it at face value,” he snapped, his annoyance obvious, but that was too bad. He hadn’t spent the past six and a half years on the run. “I did my research, Jen.” It looked like he was going to say something else, but he didn’t.

“What design? What are you talking about?”


“I…I told them Scottie’s diagram was mine. It was detailed enough that I was able to put it together.”


“Is that what you did with Scottie’s doodle?” Babe was so furious she wanted to smack him, and she would have if they hadn’t been in a public place.


“It’s not a doodle. It’s…it’s something that could radically change…when I say the future of mankind, I’m not being fanciful.”
