A Diamond for the Taking — J.A. Devereaux

Professionally Edited Third Edition. Part One of the Three-Part Pilot Story. Genre: Action-Adventure/Crime-Heist/ Intrigue/Romance. HE'S A THIEF, NOT A BAD GUY... PULLING THE HEIST THAT WILL CHANGE HIS LIFE. International jewel thief Gregg Hadyn is stealing diamonds, and he can't be caught. But when Gregg "accidentally" kidnaps covert espionage 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, Denny Garret, the former FBI agent who chased Gregg unsuccessfully for twelve years-and now Carly's boss-renews his commitment to apprehend the notorious thief. Caught in the crosshairs of Denny's pursuit, Gregg matches wits with his nemesis in a real-life chess game. The winner will decide Gregg's destiny. Will he continue his illustrious criminal career? Might he get caught and go to jail? Or...could there be another, totally unforeseen, option? If you like books, TV shows, and movies (such as "Leverage," "White Collar," It Takes a Thief," "To Catch a Thief," "Catch Me if you Can," "The Italian Job," and "Oceans 11, 12, & 13") that portray thieves as the heroes, you'll love the REQUISITION FOR: A THIEF series.
