Sunset Magic — Shari Anton

Sunset Magic A bard of renown and warrior of repute, Rhodri ap Daffyd's current duty is to steal Nicole de Leon away from the English king's wardship and deliver her to a Welsh uncle. Their journey is fraught with peril, both from the soldiers who hunt them and his growing admiration for the willful, desirable sprite with an intriguing psychic ability that his music seems to affect. Nicole knows that exchanging the king's wardship for her uncle's guardianship won't give her more control over her future. But accepting the protection of the handsome, persuasive bard seems so right, so natural. Surely, his music's calming effect on the ghosts she encounters means she and Rhodri were meant to be together. Even though she fears duty will tear them apart, she can't help be lured by the magic in his music – and his kiss.
