The first one is This Magic Moment, staring main characters of Ryan Swan and Peirce Atkins. Ryan Swan is the daughter of Bennett Swan, the owner (I assume) of Swan Productions and she has fought tooth and nail for where she is in the company.
Bennett Swan had wanted a son and he had done nothing to show otherwise after Ryan's mother had died. In his eyes he gave her the best but in hers, Bennett had just shipped her off for someone else to handle. Ryan works as hard as she does one because she loves her job but also because she hopes that one day he will turn to her and say he's just proud to be her father.
I think all children want that from their parents though. When it doesn't happen that little ray of hope stays and never dies out. We just stop thinking about it and move on with our life.
Pierce Atkins had a hard start to life in general. His father was a drunk that after he had a few drinks liked to beat on his mother. Most of the time he would end up in the closet for most of the beatings but every so often his father would hit him as well. The state took him away from his parents and placed him in an orphanage. Pierce however was unadoptable because though the state took him away, his parents wouldn't sign their rights away.
He had become a magician during his stay in a hospital when he was young. Pierce's story was that he fell down some stairs and they were diagnosing him as paralyzed. Of course he wouldn't accept that so he busted ass every day to make sure he would walk again. When he did, magic was his career choice and he became the best. Famous for escapes, his reasoning will come as perfect to most people.
When he was younger, he was locked in and couldn't get out. Now he can and he keeps coming up with new escapes to prove to himself that he really can escape anything now.
Two people with two very different things to prove, come together in this novel to prove that love can overcome anything....even a dark past.
However their hurdle comes when Ryan learns of the new escape that Pierce plans to do for the special. Priding herself on being a strong woman, when she hears his plans it brings her to her knees. It's too dangerous and it scares her near to death.
The question the whole story comes down to is can she love him as he is?
If we love someone, what right do we really have to ask them to change? Especially if what we want them to change is their way of life?
