The MagicReturned 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 maid in a meadow. So when they meet again-and she proposes a night in his arms in exchange for his combat on her behalf-he agrees. 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 knight to be her champion. Before they know it, they are both plunged into a battle for more than land and heritage. |
