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

“When I got off the train, I was met by Deuce. He was Doctor Gautier’s head of security, and no one knew if he even had a last name.

But whatever the reason, I thanked God.


“Once we got to what turned out to be Dr. Gautier’s house of horrors, he turned me over to Finchley…”


Mark looked up and met my eyes. “Finchley again. I really want to have a talk with him.”


“I’ll resume deciphering the rest of it tomorrow,” Mother said.


“Thank you.” Mark glanced at the last page Mother had given him and nodded to himself. “This looks like it covers the period of time until she had to run with Joe.”


“Yes. That poor woman.” Mother was silent for a moment, then sighed. “Shall we see what Gregor and Joe have been doing to amuse themselves?”
