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

“What happens if you refuse to write the book the way this schmuck wants you to?”


“I’ll never write in this town again?” I smiled ruefully.


“No. That’s kind of you, but it isn’t necessary.”


“You’re a good man.” He rubbed my shoulders. “Look. Take some time to think about it. I’ve got enough money to support you in the style you’re accustomed to.”


I drew back and glared at him. “I have enough money to support me in the style to which I’m accustomed.”


“Well, shit. I don’t get to be your sugar daddy? You’re a spoilsport, Mann.”


“And you’re an idiot.” But I could see what he was trying to do, and I appreciated it.


“No, I’m serious. If you want to work at the WBIS, I can put in a good word for you. You know The Boss was all for it after you left the CIA—you were a damned good spook. If I tell him you’re interested, he’ll be more than willing to agree to it.”
