Bewitched, Bottled, and Bewildered

Hoping for a fresh start after her messy divorce from the "ex-husband-from Hell," Maddie Stewart has returned to her hometown of Penn's Hollow to run her family's historic bed and breakfast.  Maddie is tired of being gossiped about, lied to, and – oh yeah – cheated on.  So she is in no way ready to date again.  That is until she meets Noah, the genie – sorry, jinn – she accidentally releases from his bottle late one night.

Condemned to life as a jinn back in 1955, former farm boy and ex-Air Force pilot Noah Foster has served quite a few masters – or mistresses, if you prefer – over the decades.  However, he's never had a mistress quite like Maddie.  Not only is she smart, sexy, and beautiful, she's also not afraid of him.  Not even a little bit.  Maddie is also thoroughly modern and has some very strong opinions about what jinns and mistresses should and shouldn't do together – at least as long as they don't break any of the rules that govern the world of the jinn.

As Maddie struggles to decide upon her three wishes, Noah must pretend he's a travel writer and attempt to live outside of his bottle without anyone discovering he's really a jinn.  A jinn who just happens to be falling in love with his mistress.  And for a jinn, falling in love with a human is most definitely against the rules.  Can Noah find a way to be with Maddie, even for a little while, or will his love end up costing him more than he could have ever imagined?

This 93,500-word novel is written in the modern romance style for a slightly hotter read.  It may not be appropriate for younger audiences.
