Welcome to Nicola E. Sheridan!






Title: "Magical Gains",
Genre: Paranormal/fantasy romance.
Blurb:
When wishes are forbidden, what's a Genie to do?
Imran is sexy. He is available, but taking anything from him is illegal and could land you in prison or at the very least, with an extraordinarily large tax bill.
Imran is a genie and Primrose a government employee, and in a world where magic is heavily governed to ensure equality for all, their relationship appears doomed from the start.
When Primrose finds herself the unwilling mistress of a hot male Genie, her stifling suburban lifestyle is shattered. Thrust into the steamy Free Zone, filled with lascivious Satyrs and treacherous Sirens, Primrose discovers that three wishes can giver her anything she needs, but can they give her what she truly wants?
Excerpt:
“Just make three little wishes. No one will know,” Imran urged smoothly. “Just little things, you know, a new pair of shoes, maybe a necklace, and a puppy.” He grinned.
Primrose looked aghast.
“A Magical Investigations Team would be out here in a second!” she snapped.
“That’s not really a problem since I’m not registered,” he drawled. “Correct me if I am wrong, but it is only registered magical beings whose magic is traceable.” Imran’s black eyes flashed with amusement.
Primrose Brasco, apart from being incurably prudish, was a lovely-looking creature. Small and curvaceous, with long, cascading chocolate brown hair and honey brown eyes, she was every male Genie’s dream mistress.
Primrose sighed. “You may be unregistered, but the government can still detect your magic, even if they don’t know who or what you are…” She paused, taking yet another gulp of air. “I really don’t want to risk it. I’m sorry. I think I’ll have to turn you in myself.”
A flash of anxiety flickered in Imran’s dark eyes but was gone in an instant.
“I don’t think you should do that,” he replied very casually, as his eyes became unreadable.
“Really? Why?”
“Because…” He paused for subtle effect. “I will do everything in my quite substantial power to make your life a misery.” He smiled again with wicked white teeth.
Primrose stiffened. “Then I suppose we have a problem,” she whispered.
