"Book #2 in The Gypsy Inheritance series"

The saga continues.......Passionata, daughter to the King of the Gypsies, is bestowing another gift to one of Lucille Steele's decendants.With these gifts,three young men's lives would change through the power of gypsy magic.

Fashion model, Merrill Davis-Ross had to escape her high profile life. The paparazzi was hot on her tail,yet again, and she was tired of it all. She decided to "disappear" and re-invent herself. Partly, due to the media attention and also, to find out if she could she could truly be liked for the person she was within. She creates "Merri Davis" and takes a job in a small Texas town as a fund raising assistant.

Millionaire, Tyson Steele's magic gift from Passionata was that of a mirror. When he looked into it he merely saw glass but, the gypsy promised that the mirror will show him the truth if only he would believe. Granted Ty was rich in money but, not in love and life. He had been hurt emotionally several times in his life. One, of which was losing both of his parents when he was a young boy.From his experiences, he can't afford to risk his heart again.

As Ty and Merri build a working relationship it begins to take on a more personal nature. But, Merri can't afford for anyone to get too close to her as it will blow her cover and also reveal to Ty that she has been deceiving him.Merri soon finds that what her mind tells her cannot overrule the feelings in her heart.

The big question is, since Ty hates liars and always expects to be deceived in the end will Merri's true identity put an end to their relationship?

I have eagerly awaited this second book in Linda Conrad's GYPSY INHERITANCE series. It was no surprise that I once again was pulled in by her talent. REFLECTED PLEASURES blends a contemporary romance with a paranormal twist. I have read all of Ms. Conrad's backlist and she always remains a favorite. I am looking forward to the third and final installment.

Summary

Tyson Steele's legacy is an antique hand mirror, but when he first looks, all he sees is plain glass. Ty's Texas billionaire world has been built around the way things look. He sees himself as a self-made and rough-around-the-edges man who doesn't care about his own appearance, but his most important relationship was with the most beautiful woman in school. His business has been built on refurbishing old real estate and making it look new and beautiful. He sees himself now as a benefactor, but he refuses to give himself what he needs most. The gypsy's gift is designed to make him see the truth. But will that be enough to give this rich man his heart's desire?
