About Honest Illusions

Kurzbeschreibung Die Tochter des Magiers (Honest Illusions) - Nora Roberts Die rothaarige und temperamentvolle Roxy Nouvelle ist Tochter eines legendären Zauberkünstlers. Von ihm hat sie nicht nur die außergewöhnliche Begabung für Magie geerbt, sondern auch die Kunst, manche Reichen um ihre Juwelen zu erleichtern. Auch Luke Callahan, der als weggelaufener Junge bei den Nouvelles Aufnahme fand, besitzt beide Talente. Roxy und Luke werden Partner, zunächst in der Zauberkunst, dann als Juwelendiebe und schließlich in Sachen Liebe. Doch auf dem Höhepunkt ihrer Karriere taucht ein dunkler Schatten aus Lukes Vergangenheit auf und zwingt ihn, spurlos aus dem Leben der Nouvelles zu verschwinden.
