Desiree Jacobs attracts intrigue like honey attracts flies, but this time, more than her company's reputation is at stake.
Desi's securities company has regained its solid reputation, but when her friend's niece goes missing, Desi is again drawn into a web much more complex than it would first appear. So what do a missing person, a cult, a smuggling ring, stolen artifacts (taken from a museum served by HJ Securities) and ancient rituals have in common? And can Desi's FBI boyfriend, Agent Tony Lucano, figure it out in time to save Desi's life?
The second installment in the To Catch a Thief series, Reluctant Runaway, grips readers from page one. As usual, Jill Elizabeth Nelson keeps readers turning pages long into the night by weaving a mystery so complex you just aren't sure where it will end. There is nothing predictable about this suspense except the romance. Just the way I like it. There are a few "Texan" phrases that seem a bit over the top, but hey, overall, that is forgivable for a romantic suspense that is actually suspenseful.
