He's determined to destroy humankind…until her tiny spark of magic changes everything. With her entire family wiped out by the Djinn-created plague called the Heat, there's no one left to teach Isla Dunbar how to use the magic tingling deep in her body. She lives among the other survivors in the thriving Los Alamos settlement, protected by an ingenious device that repels djinn reavers. But she's lonely. In fact, when it comes to hooking up, Isla would rather just die a virgin. When she's tricked into wandering out of the safe zone, Isla is kidnapped by a threatening djinn determined to disable the Los Alamos device and wipe out the last of humanity. But Isla is just as determined to resist his intense interrogation — and the temptation of his dark eyes, golden skin, and shiver-inducing smile.If Aamir al-Qadir thought he would intimidate Isla into giving up all she knows, he thought wrong. Her beauty and sass are distracting enough, but something about her catches him off-guard. She's no ordinary human, but a creature of untapped magic that makes her a prize for the power-hungry djinn. Without conscious thought, Aamir's focus shifts from destroying Los Alamos to protecting the unusual woman who's stolen the one thing he thought impenetrable…his heart.
