A modern-day fairy tale about a djinn whose body and soul belong to another, who willingly gives the one thing he can call his own: his heart.

Falling for a supernatural stud is not in Lia Byron's five-year plan. Rev has his good points: sexy, good with kids, strong work ethic (though he doesn't have much choice in the latter). Like any man, he has a few flaws: he's allergic to her touch, decapitated someone during their introduction, and has the emotional awareness of a ten-year-old. On paper, he's a bad risk, but his backward attempts at courtship are so endearing, she might have to rethink her agenda.

Cursed to an eternity without feeling, Revelan knows nothing but duty to his master. When execution of that duty turns a children's bookstore into a slaughterhouse, Rev is elected to make its owner forget what she's seen. Delving into Lia's memories in search of the one he must steal forges a bond between them he can't sever, and soon he doesn't want to. She makes him feel for the first time in three thousand years, but with another djinn hunting the child in his care, the distraction of emotion could be deadly.

When Lia is taken hostage by a murderous djinn, a pawn in his bid for freedom, Rev must choose between defending the child who holds his lamp and rescuing the woman who holds his heart, knowing the wrong choice could destroy them all.
