New Release Forgotten Djinn Dominion, Bk 2 Christine Pope Is the Heat a deadly fever…or a fiery de- sire that could save them both? Deirdre Graves got lucky. When the Heat, a djinn-created virus, wiped out most of humanity, she was isolated at her universi- ty’s wildlife research station high in the mountains. Safe...for the moment. But with winter closing in and her choices narrowing down to freezing or starving, she builds a device that could save her life. Trouble is, the only way to find out if it works is to leave her sanctuary and face the djinn. One moment, Amaal al-Tariq is exploring his newly acquired mountain lands — or, more accurately, his place of exile. The next, he’s flat on his face, trapped by one delicate human woman carrying a device capable of rendering him helpless. Regaining what is most precious to him — his freedom — means gaining Deirdre’s trust. If that means using the attraction simmering between them to his advantage, so be it. He just never ex- pected her courage and compassion to reach the one thing he’s kept to himself for so long...his heart. Note: The Djinn Dominion series is a spinoff from Christine Pope’s Djinn Wars novels. Each story is a standalone romance with no cliffhangers, although some plot lines and characters carry over from book to book. New Release
