Porch Pirate

Jayson Wilde was a hockey superstar and was in the middle of his successful hockey career. Everything changed when his father, who was a policeman, was murdered in the car park outside the hockey arena where Jayson Wilde had just led his team to victory. Jayson Wilde is determined to honor his father's memory by joining the R.O.P.E. Squad, a division of the police force that apprehends fugitive parolees. R.O.P.E. stands for Repeat Offenders Parole Enforcement. Changing careers is not easy for a wealthy superstar. Friendships and loyalties and lifestyle are all in jeopardy as Jayson begins his training as a rookie on The R.O.P.E. Squad and now the people in his life realize that he is not the same person anymore. The changes in Jayson's personal life and his acceptance as a police officer are unsettling to him as friendships fall away and the new career is not turning out as he imagined it would. His Field Training Officer is Detective Tasha Avery, a veteran officer of the R.O.P.E. Squad who guides Jayson through the first weeks of his training. They pursue Billy Edwards, a fugitive parolee who seems to be able to slip away each time they come close to capturing him. Gang wars and rivalries complicate the search for Billy Edwards. The new people in his life are not always a welcome addition to it.   

This is the sixth book in the R.O.P.E. Squad series.
