A Lifting the Veil Story

Ten years ago, the Great Unveiling revealed the presence of supernatural beings living on Earth. But the residents of the ruined city discovered in Majlis al-Jinn are long dead—or so junior archaeologist Pip Butler thought until he accidentally unleashed a very naked genie named Jinn.

Even though he’s been shyly pining for his charismatic supervisor, Val Velde, Pip has a hard time refusing Jinn’s flirtatious advances. He barely has time to even consider the fact that he has an all-powerful genie and three glorious wishes at his fingertips when ruthless mercenaries sweep down on the dig to collect the most valuable artifact of all—Jinn’s lamp.

So Pip, Val, and Jinn have to work together in a race against the clock to discover the secrets of the ancient city, free their captive colleagues, and keep Jinn from the mercenaries’ clutches—all while trying to sort out their romantic tangle.

Serie Un cavallo nell'ombra, Libro 1

Dan pensa all’idea di continuare semplicemente a guidare, lasciando tutti i casini alle spalle. Ha abbastanza denaro per farlo. Si potrebbe organizzare, fare arrivare il suo cavallo e le sue cose dove deciderà di fermarsi. D’altra parte, andarsene è quello che ha sempre fatto, ogni volta che le cose sono diventate troppo difficili – e, davvero, è sempre andata bene così.

Dan Wheeler pensava di aver trovato un equilibrio e un amore che sarebbero durati in eterno con Justin Archer, suo partner nella vita e nel lavoro. Ma quando Dan, continuando a lavorare alle dipendenze dei genitori di Justin come addestratore di cavalli, si trova tragicamente di nuovo da solo, deve riuscire ad accettare che la sua vita perfetta è irrimediabilmente scomparsa.

È qui che entrano in scena il miliardario Evan Kaminski, arrivato alla scuderia con l’intenzione di comprare un cavallo alla sorella minore, e l’amante di Evan, Jeff Stevens, che sembra capire non solo in che cosa consista il lavoro di Dan, ma molto di più. Mentre lotta per cercare di affrontare tutti gli sconvolgimenti nella sua vita, Dan si ritrova, suo malgrado, attratto sia dall’intensa ma imprevedibile passionalità di Evan, sia dalla quieta saggezza di Jeff. Riuscirà Dan ad essere forte abbastanza da rischiare di dare una possibilità a questo nuovo amore, o deciderà invece che per lui sia meglio – più sicuro – rimanere da solo?
