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

"Would you prefer the walls in your living room painted or wallpapered?" Anissa smiled as David jumped at the sound of her voice. He looked up to meet her gaze through the office door. She tapped her pen on a corner of a lined yellow note pad. "There are so many varieties of each from which to choose."


"Paint." He frowned. "I don't think it should be too fussy or girly. Other than that, as long as I have a place to hang my sword collection and my sister's paintings, I don't really care.


"Good." She wasn't exactly surprised by his request to avoid 'girly.' "Although I think you should include some paper in the kitchen and the small lavatory, to be in keeping with the age of the house. Stripes, perhaps, or a simple design. Would that be acceptable?"


She rolled her eyes. "The rest of the furnishings you purchased are to arrive today, are they not?"
