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?

“Yes, I know. Come with me. The lounge is right this way.” As well as a very comfortable couch—he’d spent nights on it those times when the shit hit the fan and he waited to learn if his agents would be returning to the WBIS or if they’d be buried in some nameless grave on another continent—and a kitchenette and a bathroom. There was also a computer station there. He could catch up on some work while they waited for Mark to return.


Was Mark going to take the boy home with him? How was his husband going to deal with Mark being a father? How was Mark going to deal with it? Most men had at least nine months to get used to the idea. He had no doubt no matter how his agent might fight against the idea, he’d do whatever it took to keep the boy safe.


For that matter, how was Portia going to deal with being a grandmother? Lord, the woman was too young for that!
