The existence of genies may be the best kept secret in the history of the world.

After being trapped in the Sahara Desert her whole life, sixteen-year-old genie Brielle finally gets her first assignment in Tri-Cities, Washington. She eagerly heads out into the human world to grant her first wish so she can gain her magic. Unfortunately, her assigned human, Addie, gave up believing in wishes years ago and would much rather everyone just leave her alone.

Complicating everything is Rock, Brielle’s childhood friend turned enemy. Brielle doesn’t need him ruining her first trip out into the human world. Too bad she can’t keep her mind--or her eyes--off him and his annoyingly cute dimples.

To make matters worse, genies in the Tri-Cities area are suspiciously dying. One broken lamp could be an accident, but after three, Brielle suspects someone has uncovered the genies’ secret and is slowly killing them off one by one. 

With the Genie Council ignoring the threat, Brielle desperately needs to gain her magic so she can stop the murderer before she--or Rock--is the next genie to die.

Brielle was born a genie. As every genie before her, on her twelfth birthday her lamp will be assigned to a human. As soon as her human makes a wish, her magic is unlocked to grant wishes. Unfortunately, everything does not work out the way it should. For a genie, being without any magic and on lock down is basically the worst thing that could happen. Finally, after four years of waiting, her wish is fulfilled (kind of ironic for a genie, isn't it?) and she is assigned to her first human.

She is assigned to a caretaker, whose name is Vicky. Basically, the caretaker is the person who will help you adjust to human life. She understands very quickly that she has been assigned to a human only because one of the genie in the region has been killed. And this is when our story begins. Nor does she have to help out her protégée but she also has to find out who kills every genie in the region and why? In her quest, she will bring along Vicky and Rock - another genie in the region. And let me tell you that the attraction between Rock and Brielle is quite... rocky (I know, probably the worst play with words but that's how you love me). They go from hate to "friendship" and then to a possible love.
