Matteo — Hazel Hunter

A magician's assistant must trick her heart if she is ever to find true magic. Natalie Trucco has put the past behind her -- way behind. For the last nine years she's flown under the Wiccan radar, doing the only thing she knows: using her power as a magician's assistant. She and her aging partner have criss-crossed the country, careful never to linger too long or step too far into the limelight. But as her friend and mentor approaches the end of his life, he has one final wish: to return to the Las Vegas Strip. Magus Corps officer Matteo Monti has been searching for the one true love of his life since the fateful day she disappeared. Even amidst the horrific circumstances of her departure, their whirlwind romance still shines. But he couldn't be more stunned when she returns to the very place it all began.
