Imperfect Magic — Patricia Watters

BOOK 11: DANCING MOON RANCH SERIES - Dimitri Matthias, an upcoming illusionist with aspirations of becoming the next David Copperfield, is offered a proposal by a Las Vegas entertainment company: create a horse-disappearing act he can carry out on stage and he'll get his own show. The problem is, Dimitri's never been around horses, so he hires Maddy Hansen to teach him the basics, mainly because he sees in her his perfect stage assistant... except that Maddy's a dyed-in-the-wool ranch girl whose dream of starting a riding camp for disabled children is already in the works. What Dimitri doesn't count on is falling in love with a woman, and a way of life, that until then had escaped him. His transformation from Las Vegas showman to rugged cowboy also has Maddy taking a second look. Yet, Las Vegas is where Dimitri's future lies, and neither of them know how to reconcile that. AUTHOR'S NOTE: The books in my Dancing Moon Ranch series are intended to be read in sequence as each book moves forward in time, the series spanning two generations. I invite you to check out my "Dancing Moon Ranch Family Album." In it all the books in my Dancing Moon Ranch Series are illustrated with almost 600 full-color photographs depicting the ranch and all the characters in the series, including books not yet released. You'll also see what it was like during the "missing years" in the series, when the children of the heroes and heroines in Books 1-3 (the heroes and heroines of later books in the series) were growing up on the ranch.
