Kara is a sex columnist who thinks desire is purely physical and steers clear of any romantic notions about love.
J.M. is a Tantra master who believes sex is a spiritual union that brings lovers together body and soul.
They can’t deny their irresistible physical attraction—but Kara knows they can never have a future outside the bedroom. After all, Kara thinks Tantra is silly and the whole elitist idea of sacred sex really bugs her.
But after a few heated nights of hands-on practice with her own personal Tantra instructor, she experiences a soul-shattering bliss more intense than anything she’s ever felt.

Crystal Genie
Length: Novelette
Have you ever wished you could find a magic lamp and… poof!… a genie would appear before you offering wishes? Be careful what you wish for!
Celeste feels a special draw to a beautiful quartz crystal she sees in her favorite store. When she brings it home, she finds herself staring into its liquid depths at a small imperfection that makes the stone so mesmerizing. She polishes off a fingerprint marring the surface and a man—all granite hard muscle and starkly sensual good looks—appears before her.
The genie of the crystal. Zurvan.
As soon as Zurvan sees Celeste… a woman! ... rage blazes through him. He does NOT trust women. He was imprisoned, tortured and cursed by Atia, a woman who claims she loves him yet punishes him because he can’t love her back.
Zurvan tamps down his anger and offers Celeste her three wishes.
Celeste hardly believes she is face-to-face with a real live genie and feels out of her depth with the highly sensual, overwhelmingly masculine man who is nothing like the willing-to-please genie she imagines from fairy tales. Although this man is to serve her, she feels he is the one in control. Not only that, there is something about this man that seems vaguely familiar. Like a hazy image from a dream.
When they both fall prey to the white hot attraction between them, Zurvan promises her the greatest pleasure she will ever experience… and delivers! Celeste soon finds she must remind herself she does not trust love. She has watched both her mother and sister stay with men who mistreat them because they say they love them. Celeste figures that if that’s love, who needs it? What their behavior has really convinced her of, though, is that there’s no way she would ever be able to recognize real love.
As Celeste goes through the process of making her wishes, she and Zurvan discover some unsettling truths about both their pasts. Now she knows that when he returns to his imprisonment in the crystal—and there is nothing she can do to stop it—she will be left to endure a life of interminable loneliness missing the man she was meant to be with forever.
To My Reader: Crystal Genie isn’t your typical Aladdin story. Zurvan, the powerful male genie, has no intention of being mastered by anyone, let alone a female—no matter how sexy she is. This is a story with steaming hot sex, but also a story of enduring love. Fall under the spell of… Opal Carew’s Crystal Genie
