Requisition For: A Thief A Diamond for the Taking by J.A. Devereaux

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, Strategic Intelligence Response Unit Director Denny Garret, who is also the former FBI agent who chased Gregg unsuccessfully for twelve 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?

Trouble on the Taj McCall

About Trouble on the Taj McCall:

“Traveling the countryside in a recreational vehicle reveals not just God’s beautiful artistry and breathtaking scenes. It exposes the secret weaknesses and strengths of your soul.”

Larabeth McCall has too much idle time since the youngest of her two daughters joined her sister in college. Blessed with an innate love of the great outdoors, Larabeth craves to explore nature in a motor home. But the empty-nest doldrums become the least of her worries as she awaits the results of a recent biopsy. With breast cancer having claimed lives in her family for the previous two generations, she has every reason for concern.

Unlike his wife, Elton McCall is not the adventurous sort but reconsiders her request to travel after he’s threatened with the possibility of losing the love of his life. He purchases a luxury motor home, leaves his business in his partner’s hands, and sets out with Larabeth to fulfill her dream on “The Taj McCall.” Surprisingly, Elton begins to enjoy the life-changing journey.

Wind, rain, sleet, and snowstorms aside, Elton’s sudden health issues create havoc and complicate their travel plans. An anxious Larabeth learns valuable lessons about people, poverty, and purpose—that God provides guardian angels, puts the needy in her path, and has a plan for her.
