Romance Stories

George, a troubled young man barely existing in the shadow of a tragic mistake, wants only to survive high school. However, his life is upended when a gift from his long-dead father turns out to be the vessel of a powerful Genie, and the woman of his dreams. This is a reimagining of an old story of mine from 2007 called A Beautiful Wish, which is still on this site. It includes a retooled setting with new supporting characters, villains, and love interests. I hope I can do my old work justice.

"If you don't like romance, Cookie says go fuck yourself." - Holly Rennick, Merchant Marine Cadet
It's hard to explain when you don't speak her language, but then it would be hard for a guy like Cookie to explain even if he did. / (Reviews)
