The Magic

The proposal . . .
Newly returned from the Crusades, Rhys ap Gryffin is tired of fighting. But he has one last battle—to regain his lands in Wales. Little does he guess that he’s in for a bigger challenge when he comes across a mysterious maid in an English meadow, a maid who so utterly beguiles him, he almost forgets his quest. So when they meet again—and she proposes a night in his arms in exchange for his combat on her behalf—he agrees.

The magic . . .
Sasha was born with the “gift” of reading minds, but this one knight eludes her talent. Still, she desperately needs his help to save her home. And since a seer predicted a gryffin would regain what she had lost, she must do whatever it takes to persuade this blond knight to be her champion.

The mystery . . .
Before they know it, they are both plunged into a battle for far more than simply land and heritage, and must fight to save their lives and those of the people they love. But will their desperate bargain end up costing them everything?
