Do You Believe in Magic? — Susan Squires

Award-winning NY Times Bestseller Susan Squires begins a new series, Children of Merlin, with Do You Believe In Magic? Tristram Tremaine has never fit in with his large and successful family. They believe they have inherited a magic gene that comes alive only when they fall in love with another who carries that gene. Tris doesn't believe it. After disappointing his parents one too many times, Tris, the bad-boy brother, leaves his life in LA and hits the road on his cycle, drifting away from his destiny. That is, until he meets Maggie O'Brian, a spit-fire rodeo rider with a strange ability to calm wild horses. Maggie lives on the road too, avoiding relationships. Her mother left her, the boy she loved left her--even her dog left her. Her secret desire for enduring love and a family seems far away. The last thing she needs is a tomcat with “love ‘em and leave ‘em” written all over him. But the connection between Tris and Maggie is instantaneous. After a mysterious accident nearly kills Tris, he and Maggie must learn to believe in their destiny and in each other to stay one step ahead of those who will do anything to prevent them from claiming their future.
