The Genie's Heartwish

Five thousand years ago, Sumerian warrior Zakkar Tymon gallantly protected the virtue of a love struck virgin priestess, dooming him to an eternity of servitude to women. Reduced to being a slave to women's impulses, this bold, brave hero now exists solely to give women pleasure, act upon their every urge, and grant them three wishes.

Months after reaching her goal weight, popular weight-loss counselor, and baker extraordinaire, Laila Malone, is tired of waiting for men to fall at her feet, dumbstruck by her leaner visage. So now she's focusing on business instead of love. With enough money, maybe she can open the diet-conscious bakery she's dreamed of owning.

On the way home from work, a sign for an estate sale at a mansion in the ritziest part of town, catches Laila's eye. Maybe the ancient bottle she unearths in the musty basement is a treasure that will allow Laila and her dog to happily grow old together--alone, but filthy rich...and thin.

When Laila uncorks her find, she gasps in fear as a half-naked, saber-wielding man exits the bottle in a vapor. With sun-bronzed muscles, long dark hair and hypnotic eyes, he's devastatingly handsome. The epitome of all her fantasies, he says he's here to give her pleasure. If she has to lose her mind, this is exactly the hallucination Laila wants.

The Genie's Heartwish is book 2 of the Heartwishes series. This full-length contemporary romance novel is full of warmth and humor--with a very special touch of magic and a healthy dose of fantasy. It's inspired by the author's previously published novella, Samantha and her Genie. While all Heartwishes books are part of a standalone series, you'll enjoy them more if you read them in order. These are small town romances with happily-ever-afters, and no cliffhangers.
