THE RELUCTANT BURGLER
By Jill Elizabeth Nelson
ISBN: 1590526864
Multnomah Publishers
Romantic Suspense
Desiree Jacob’s life as she knows it is about to unravel.
After her father is murdered, secrets of his past life
come to light. H.J. Securities founder had been a man
known for his integrity and faith. Now, it seems that her
father had once been involved with less than honest
dealings. As a man of faith, he was no longer that
person.
Shouldn’t she protect the image he had come to enjoy
and save the company he’d worked hard to establish? If
she were to tell the truth, could she even trust FBI
agent Tony Lucano, a man who not only suspects her of
theft but believes she is in league with terrorists?
Agent Tony Lucano is attracted to the unpredictable and
indomitable Desi Jacobs. But is she guilty? He’d been
fooled by beauty once before, and it nearly cost him his
life. And what of his partner? A hot-tempered women-
hater determined to put Desi behind bars. If Dezi is
innocent, then she is in serious trouble. Tony struggles
with his attraction for her and the mounting evidence
against her.
Desi and Tony are Christians caught between duty and
faith: Desi to her father’s memory and Tony to his oath
to uphold the law. What does God require of them?
This fast-paced action story explores the issue of art
smuggling as a terrorist funding source while weaving
demonstrating God’s ability to transcend a past of doubt
and disappointment.
