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

“Mr. Wells? Sure.” They’d met him at a McDonald’s when Gordy had been invited to a birthday party for one of the kids in his class a few years before. Mr. Wells had seemed to understand the sketch Gordy had made, one of the few regular people who did.

He nodded, unable to speak because his mouth was so dry. Ma had never used the phone; it could be too easy to trace them.


“Once you talk to him, throw that phone in the nearest trash can and get out of there.” She covered her mouth with her hand. “Do you remember where Aunt Delilah used to live?”


“No. The one where we stayed with her for a time.”
