Four wishes. Two souls. One impossible choice.
Lena came to Marrakech to restore art—not her life.
But when an ancient Berber ring slips onto her finger and refuses to come off, she releases Azar, a genie who has spent two thousand years trapped inside it. Suddenly Lena has four wishes capable of changing reality itself—and a dangerously tempting man bound to fulfill them.
Azar has spent centuries serving masters who saw him as nothing more than a tool. Lena is different. She wants answers instead of power, and the closer they become, the harder it is for him to ignore the connection pulling them together.
There’s only one problem.
Azar needs Lena to make her final wish so he can finally be free. But freedom comes with a devastating price: when the last wish is made, the curse will pass to Lena.
Now they must decide what matters more—the freedom they’ve been fighting for or the love neither of them expected to find.
Expect:
-A wickedly charming genie
-Fated mates
-Four magical wishes
-High heat and romantic tension
-Lush Marrakech and Moroccan-inspired settings
-Ancient curses and dangerous consequences
-An HEA worth wishing for
Come ready to talk about love versus freedom, the temptation of getting exactly what you wish for, fate, sacrifice, power, and whether any wish is truly worth its price.
