Undercover cop Dan Hudson is framed for blackmail and kicked off the NOPD force. Enraged about that, and the fact that his lover refuses to stand by him, Dan moves to Denver, where he becomes Dirk Steele. He finds a job working for the Powells, who are pawnbrokers ... and fences. When he proposes to them that he put together a team to steal on demand for the Powells’ less than legitimate clients, a deal is struck and the team is formed. The team consists of Maverick, a thief; Tripp, a street kid who shoplifts to survive; and Fey, another street kid who is an excellent pickpocket and petty thief. Now the question becomes, will the team succeed? And, equally important, will the attraction between Dirk, who has sworn off love, and Maverick -- whose credo is only down and dirty sex -- grow into something more? Or will they remain just 'friends with benefits'? Time will tell as the team takes on increasingly difficult jobs and a man from Dirk's past shows up who could possibly throw a monkey wrench into the works.

Wrong Side of the Law

“Bed. There,” Maverick replied a moment later, mimicking Dirk’s tone of voice. “Us, on it.”


Neither of them needed a second hint. They tumbled onto the bed, where Maverick finished what he’d started, pulling Dirk’s shirt off, before shedding his own. “Now that’s more like it,” he said, running his hands over Dirk’s chest and then down his sides. He paused, frowning. “Scars?”


“The reminder of a job that almost went wrong.”


“And this?” Maverick touched the puckered scar on Dirk’s bicep.


“A shootout with a gun runner who decided he wanted to take me out rather than be arrested.”


“I gather he lost since you’re here.”


“He did,” Dirk replied as he wrapped one hand around Maverick’s rampant cock generating a needy gasp from Maverick. “Don’t move,” he ordered while he pulled open the drawer of the nightstand with his free hand. A moment later he was ripping open a condom packet with his teeth and then sheathing Maverick’s dick.
