Publisher's summary

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 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.

Caught in the crosshairs of Garret’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?

Updated April 2022

Book one of the three-part story to the ongoing series. Genres: Crime-Heist/Action-Adventure/Espionage/Romance.

If you like books, TV shows, and movies such as Leverage, White Collar, It Takes a Thief, The Italian Job, and Ocean’s Eleven, Twelve, and Thirteen, to name a few, that portray thieves as the heroes, you’ll love the Requisition For: A Thief series.

Engaging story with Great Character Development

JA Devereaux creates an excellent start of the story and series in this book! The pacing was excellent, the motivations believable, and the dynamics between the characters was engaging. Noble brigand, gentleman thief, true-blue G-man, and capable career special law enforcement woman all combine in a story that keeps the pages turning and audible on.

Narrator Seth Thompson does a good job bringing the characters to life while keeping focus on the story.

Excited to start the next book in the series.
