The Trickster — Kathleen Nance

THE JOY OF COOKING
Long after she'd given up on his return, Matthew Mark Hennessy strolled back into Joy Taylor's life, bolder than Hermes when he'd stolen Apollo's cattle. But Joy was no longer the girl who had so easily trusted him with her heart. An aspiring chef, she had no intention of being distracted by the fireworks the magician sparked in her. But with a kiss silkier than her custard cream, he melted away her defenses. And she knew the master showman had performed the greatest trick of all: setting her heart afire.

A RECIPE FOR MAGIC
Mark had traveled to Louisiana to uncover the truth, not to rekindle an old passion. But Joy set him sizzling. It was not her cooking that had him salivating, but the sway of her hips. And though magicians never divulge their secrets, Joy tempted him to confide his innermost desires. In a flash Mark realized their passion was no illusion, but the magic of true love.
