Djinni Prince Omar is a self-proclaimed bachelor tricked into the humiliation of service to a mortal mistress with a child. The widow refuses to issue wishes, instead, living by the 'fortunes' from Chinese fortune cookies. After the disaster of a marriage of convenience, Alfie is reluctant to allow another man to interfere with her newfound freedom; besides, she has a secret that could ruin any relationship.
When Alfie insists Omar be her business partner instead of a slave, he finds himself falling in love with her. She refuses to let the prince lose his royal title over her. However, there are bizarre conditions that will allow them to be together without jeopardizing his standing with the Djinn. Omar never thought he'd want to be a part of the stipulations, same as he never thought to fall in love at all, and certainly not with a mortal!
