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

Dirk sighed. “If you have it, sure. As long as you have the provenance papers for it.”


Galvez smirked. “We’re safe. It doesn’t exist. Anything else we should worry about?”


“Dump your phones and get throwaways first thing in the morning. Run bug scans on your vehicles after they’re packed up but just before you leave.”


“No. We need some place with a parking lot that would be busy on a Sunday. Other than a church,” Dirk added.


“Any shopping area,” Jesse suggested. “Like the one with the Target store on Colorado. We can head straight up Colorado from there, to I-70, and be on our way.”
