She doesn't go out, she doesn't make new friends, and she sure as hell doesn't treat herself to things she hasn't earned. But when her most recent thrift store purchase turns out to be home to a hot, magical genie determined to draw out her darkest desires in exchange for a taste of her soul, Dolly's restraint and patience will be put to the test. Newbie genie Velis Reilhander will do anything to beat his older half-brothers in a soul-collecting contest that will determine the next heir to their family estate, even if it means coaxing desire out of the least palatable human he's ever contracted. As a djinn from a 'polluted' bloodline, Velis knows what it's like to work twice as hard as everyone else, and he won't let anyone-not even Dolly f*cking Jones-stand in the way of his birthright. He just needs to figure out her heart's greatest desire before his asshole brothers can get to her first. COME TRUE is the romantic, fantastic second-coming-of-age story of two flawed twenty-somethings from different realms, battling their inner demons and each other, one wish at a time. Dive into a world where magic, romance, and self-discovery collide in an unforgettable tale of love and redemption, perfect for fans of The Vampire Diaries, Fruits Basket, and I Dream of Jeannie.

Every girl dreams about finding her happily-ever-after. Even me. Especially me. But never-and I do mean never-did I imagine my HEA would come in the form of a tall, dark, and handsome vampire. I mean, I'm a vampire slayer. He's the vampire king. It's my job to kill his kind. Not fall in love with him. Heck, I didn't even know that was possible, considering I'm a werewolf. But apparently it's more than possible. It's inevitable. Which is why I have to save him. Someone put a bounty on his head, and it's up to me to save his insufferable, entitled-and oh so deliciously firm-ass. Even if that means kidnapping him. It's for his own protection, I swear. My friend's cabin out in the middle of nowhere will keep us safe. At least until we can figure out who wants him dead. And kill them first. Now, if only I can keep my hands off him... Can be read apart from rest of series, but recommend reading books 1 - 6 for best experience.

Losing your virginity is a big deal, but voluntarily offering it up on a silver platter at an exclusive sex club . . . that's just messed up. It was dark, and in my defense, he was tall, muscled, and smelled like the most tempting sin.I couldn't resist, and the second he touched me, I knew I was never going to be the same. It was a night filled with the kind of intensity a woman could only ever dream of. Nothing could have tainted such perfectness.

I'tikaf is one of the most unique acts of worship in Islam. In this spiritual sojourn, a believer secludes oneself in the House of Allah - a Masjid - to engage in worship, contemplation, and reflection on the self. From an Islamic perspective, there are no restrictions on worshipping Allah, and an individual can supplicate to Him anytime and anywhere one's heart desires. However, there are certain times and places in which one can develop a better connection to the Almighty Creator. Sometimes, a person yearns to be alone, completely isolated from everyone. In such moments of desiring solitude, one may find it unbearable to be around even their closest friends, and may need to withdraw from their loved ones - seeking to be alone with their own thoughts and reflections. This is where I'tikaf comes into the picture: Not only is it a spiritual retreat, but it is a break from the temporal world and all of its allure - the hectic work schedule, or the pressures at school, and the mindless scrolling on countless social media applications. In short, this great act of seclusion helps a person detach oneself from everything: friends, family, society, and the world - and to attach oneself to the only thing that truly matters: Allah.
