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?

Tim turned to Denny and smiled. “And you must be—”


“Denny!” Babe said. “He’s Denny.”


Tim raised an eyebrow but didn’t challenge her. “Hello, Denny.”

“Why would you think that?” Tim asked.


“We…you might say we’re not the closest of friends.”


“Well, he just told me you’d be driving Babe and her little boy down here.”


“Oh.” A warm tide of red climbed Charles’s cheeks. It would be interesting to find out what had gone on between the two rent boys, but Babe had learned long ago not to poke her nose where it didn’t belong.
