Do you believe in magic? Professor Ian Callaghan's life is a poetry of failure. His wife has left him for another man, his students are bored with his lectures, and his unwelcome crush on Shawn Owens, the star quarterback, only reminds him that he no longer believes in happily ever after. After all, he is straight. Shawn is straight. This attraction is flat-out wrong, impossible. But when Ian discovers an ancient ring at his neighbor's yard sale, his world shifts in ways he could never have imagined. Because the ring summons Barqan, the Black King of the djinn, a cunning and powerful being who offers Ian a chance to reshape his reality. A chance to reclaim his life, his confidence, and perhaps even his deepest desire: Shawn. Yet djinn are notorious tricksters, and Ian will have to learn that real magic lies within yourself—and the transformative power of love. Will he dare to believe? This supernatural tale of self-acceptance and secret desires is the perfect escape for a steamy night in. It is intended for mature audiences only.
