First of all, I want to thank the Romance Junkies for hosting me today. I am thrilled to be here!

To Trust a Thief is a tale in which a young woman in Victorian England must trust a master thief she intends to betray in order to find a legendary necklace that could save her fiancé and family. But in searching for the necklace, she may lose her heart.

Since the story centers on the hunt for a treasure, I thought it would be fun to celebrate its release with a treasure hunt of my own

The clue for Day 2 of the hunt focuses on the villain of the story, Lord Rellik, and his motive for finding the priceless Courtland necklace. Our heroine Min wants the necklace so she can bribe her parents out of trouble and pay off her fiancé’s gambling debts while Bryant, the master thief she is falling in love with, wants the necklace to buy his freedom from his boss, the aforementioned villain Rellik.

Rellik, on the other hand, wants the necklace for a much more simple reason; he’s a greedy old sod who just wants the fortune.

Here’s the rundown – from Jan 21^st to Feb 1^st, you can join me in a treasure hunt for five fabulous prizes. I’ll be making the rounds on five wonderful blogs and will leave a clue at each one. The clue will give you a hint both as to what the prize is, and where you need to go on our To Trust a Thief treasure map to enter the giveaway for that day. You’ll also get a few snippets of the book and a chance for extra entries if you solve a special riddle.
