Day One begins with Mina Khan and The Djinn's Dilemma!
The Djinn’s Dilemma
Rukh O'Shay, half-djinn and assassin, is used to taking out the bad guys. But his latest assignment, Texas Journalist Sarah White, is nothing like he expected. A glimpse of her bright aura reveals her gentle spirit, while her beauty makes him long for only one thing—to taste her.
Sarah shares the raw desire to connect with Rukh. He can turn her on with a glance, and satisfies needs she didn't even know she had.
But Rukh had been hired to kill her—and the only way to save her is to find out who wants her dead before someone else finishes the job….
EXCERPT:
Oh heaven and hell, stop with the tears. Given the day Sarah had just had, the tears were logical. But watching her face crumple, hearing the gut-deep harsh sobs, filled Rukh with an irrational need to pull her into his arms, wrap her in a hug.
As soon as the urge had gelled into conscious thought, his essence hardened into visibility and his arms slid up around her shivering, wet body.
Sarah’s eyes popped open and she staggered back with a yell.
His arms tightened around her, steadying her, keeping her close. Well, shit. At least, she’d stopped crying.
Fear-bright green eyes stared at him instead.
Given he was an assassin, sent to kill her, her response was natural, even intelligent. Yet, bitterness churned in his gut at the thought of her fearing him. “It’s okay,” he whispered. “You’re safe.”
“Am I hallucinating?” Her question came out as a croak.
“Yes, yes you are.” That seemed a much better answer than the truth.
She pinned him with her dark, direct gaze. “You’re just a figment of my imagination. A fantasy?” “Yes.” He didn’t dare move.
“Then why are you still wearing clothes?”
He made the clothes disappear and stood there as naked as her. Skin against skin, the heat from her body melted into his. Warm water washed over them like rain.

This looks to be another wonderful tour. Welcome Kiss and Tell authors :)
This sounds like an interesting read. I don't think I've met a djinn (genie) quite like this before. In fairy tales, yet but not in paranormals. It'll be great to see one in action especially since Rukh is an assassin.

I think this book is a definite must read!!! I love anything about djinns. There was an episode once on Supernatural that was unbelievable. I enjoyed how they portrayed the djinn myth.
I think I've only read one other book with a djinn in it. Before that, the only djinn I'd ever heard of were the ones in I Dream of Jeannie. Rukh sounds like a lot more fun.

This sounds like a novel right up my alley. I'm adding it to my must have list.
