REQUISITION FOR: A THIEF

International Jewel Thief Gregg Hadyn is stealing diamonds, and he can’t be caught. But when Gregg “accidentally” kidnaps Special Operative Carly Macklin during a heist, he finds that he escapes with more than he bargained for. As Gregg wrestles with attraction for Carly versus a career that puts them squarely at odds, Strategic Intelligence Response Unit Director Denny Garret, who is also the former FBI agent who chased Gregg unsuccessfully for 12 years—and is now Carly’s boss in the SIRU—renews his commitment to apprehend the notorious thief.

After an unencumbered 12-year career as an international jewel thief, Gregg Hadyn let his guard down—for love—and was caught. Expecting to spend the next 15 years in a federal penitentiary, Gregg is stunned when his nemesis, covert intelligence Director Denny Garret, makes him an offer too good to refuse: serve his sentence outside of prison in exchange for stealing for the US government.

Arrested on a fabricated theft charge, Gregg Hadyn once again faces prison. Strategic Intelligence Response Unit Director Denny Garret’s attempt to exonerate him is complicated by a strange twist that puts Gregg on the lam, reverting to his life as a jewel thief. As the SIRU chases the indomitable thief, a national security threat—a mind-control device being offered to the highest bidding international terrorist—splits their attention. Optimistic he can lure Gregg back into the fold, Denny concocts a con to apprehend the terrorists—a con that goes horribly wrong.
