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

Quinn put down the fork he was using to turn the bacon and took a step toward the doorway.


“Care to tell me what that was about?”


“He’s got something he doesn’t want to tell me.”


He blew out a breath. “I understood that much. What I don’t understand is why he felt it was necessary to announce that fact.” He held up a hand. “And don’t you say it beats hell out of you.”


“No, it doesn’t. Spill the beans.”


“Quinn! You’ve been hanging with me too much.”


“Of course your turn of phrase is bound to rub off on me. I am married to you.” He turned his attention back to the bacon.


“This is true.” I came up behind him, slid my arms around his waist, and kissed the spot below his right ear.


“I hope you’re not trying to distract me.”


“Nooo…” The way he drew out the word led me to believe otherwise, but I pretended to believe him. I’d been going to tell him anyway.
