Looting of archaeological sites is big business in a thriving art and antiquities black market. When a desperate foreign government hires Desiree Jacobs’s security company to stop the hemorrhage, she runs afoul of a deadly art-for-drugs operation. Tony Lucano risks his rising career in the FBI to dive into the international underworld after her. Before either of them can come up for air, they must navigate through a deepening murk of ruthless looters, hair-trigger DEA agents, crooked government agents, and innocent bystanders caught up in an illegal trade beyond their understanding. Even if a miracle delivers Desi and Tony from evil, will their love survive the test?
Complete with a reader’s guide, this third book in the To Catch a Thief series explores the power of hope in the darkest of circumstances.

My Review
I thoroughly enjoyed Reluctant Smuggler. This book has it all, suspense, danger, international intrigue, romance, exotic settings, last minute rescues, etc. The story line moves at a fast pace with unexpected twists and turns and intersecting plot lines around every corner. Jill Nelson has done a wonderful job with character development, motivations, and relationships. I would highly recommend Reluctant Smuggler to anyone who enjoys a well written suspense novel.
