He made her a djinn with slightly different rules than a normal djinn. Amira doesn't grant three wishes and then move on to a new master. No, she must fulfill the sexual wishes of a master for the length of his life, without ever achieving sexual satisfaction herself with another person.

Investment banker Nick is the ultimate playboy. A spontaneous purchase of an ancient oil lamp leads to the fulfillment of his dreams. Or does it?

As each wish turns out slightly different than he imagined, Nick realizes that he desires the beautiful and sweet Amira. But it is forbidden for them to have a sexual relationship. Will he settle for a friendship with Amira? Or will he use her magic to provide him with sexual partners?

Summary

Nick's life was perfect. He was a successful businessman— and just as successful with the ladies. He had everything he wished, or so he thought. Then a lovely magical creature shook up his world and made him rethink what he valued.

Amira wanted only one thing—to escape the curse of the djinn. She had served many selfish masters through the millennia. Her hope was that one day a Master would discover the way to give her freedom.

Her new Master was a shock. He was darkly handsome, just like her long-dead lover Omar. However, it didn't take long for Nick to show his true colors as a charming but uncommitted playboy. But Amira gradually discovers admirable qualities in her Master, in spite of his self-centered lifestyle. Maybe it was Nick's physical similarity to Omar that drew her so strongly to him, but she isn't content to play out the typical djinn/Master role. Amira is determined to teach her Master there is more to life than physical lust and fulfillment.

Every time Nick makes a wish, Amira twists it in surprising ways. Although irritated at his beautiful genie for her tricks, he becomes more drawn to her sweet nature. Each wish he asks for is filled with hot women and wild sex—wishes most men would consider a dream come true. But Nick soon finds himself desiring just one woman's love—his genie.
