Winner of the 2019 WATTY AWARDS *Former Title: Grenadine Dreams* NOW AVAILABLE ON AMAZON IN PAPERBACK (link in bio) *** It was just another nightclub. Just another shot of something hard and strong. Just another hookah pipe to share with a very hot, very mysterious stranger. At least, that's what Naya thought. But when she wakes up the next morning half-naked at the bottom of a hookah bowl, she learns that she has stumbled into the world of the supernatural, and there is only one way out. Uriel is a djinni who just wants a shot at being human. In order to get what he wants, he has to rely on his powers of charm and manipulation one last time. When he meets a free-spirited college dropout at a hookah lounge in downtown Atlanta, he thinks he has her figured out. Little does he know, he couldn't survive one day in the modern world without her. Though Naya and Uriel come from complicated pasts and don't always know which road in life to take, through their burning mutual attraction and a little magic, they can set fire to each other's world, and together, overcome anything. The Djinni and the Dropout is a whirlwind paranormal romantic comedy set against the backdrop of Atlanta, Georgia. Naya and Uriel's journey is a chaotic blend of fiery characters, supernatural encounters, and steamy romance! [[word count: 100,000-150,000 words]
