Professor David Garavaglia is nobody’s idea of a hero. Is he? When David opens an antique box and finds a sexy Djinni in his bed, his desire for her is almost as powerful as his determination to set her free.  Anissa has spent centuries as a prisoner of the box and has dreamed of the day some handsome master would release her. The scruffy computer geek isn’t what she expected, but there’s something about him she can’t resist.

While David and Anissa explore their explosive passion, he helps her adjust to the twenty-first century. Complicating things is an evil wizard who wants Anissa for his own. Between scorching attraction and hacking government computers, David does everything he can to keep her safe—and satisfied.

Djinni and the Geek

They all clinked the necks of their bottles together and echoed the sentiment, even Anissa, the newcomer to the group. She suppressed a wistful desire to remain in Kilkenny and become true friends with these good people. 


"So what's up?" Eric looked around the group and must have noticed their troubled faces. He stretched his long legs in front of him, then leaned back so his chair balanced on the rear two legs.


David pulled up another chair from the far wall and plunked it between her and his friend. Then he straddled the seat and leaned his chin on the seat back. "I'm going to need to hack Social Security."


At David's announcement, Eric's chair clattered and hit the ground. "What?"


"What is Social Security?" None of them paid any attention to Anissa's question, they just kept talking. "And what does 'hack' mean?"


"That's a major-league felony," Ben said with a frown. "Don't even joke about it."
