Catwished by Ann Sepino
“Your wish is my command.”
Sidiro hated breaking rules. However, he ended up foolishly breaking the most important one: never reveal your jinn powers to a mortal. Now he’s stuck in the mortal realm as a consequence, living life one boring day at a time—until he meets Tava.
She’s tiny, she’s sweet, she’s a shapeshifting jinni like him… and she’s in danger. The little otter cat had enemies at her heels, and Sid had cluelessly challenged them by rescuing her. Now he has no choice but to keep Tava safe, otherwise she would lose her freedom and even her life.
But why did she have to be so distracting? Why did she have to flash those pretty eyes and show off that gorgeous skin? Most of all, why was he allowing himself to fall in love despite vowing to never do so again?!
Will Sid end up with a happily-ever-after, or will he go down in history as the jinni who got ‘catwished?’
(This standalone story contains some cat shifters, jinn powers and romance—of both the fluffy and sexy variety.)

FacebookAbout the author:
"Fairy-tale fantasies for the heart."
Hello everyone! My name is Ann, and I am an independent Filipino author with a passion for poetry and writing. My love for writing began at five years old, when I drew a picture book as part of my kindergarten project. My fascination with romance novels began at fourteen. I lean towards creating female protagonists with characteristics such as loyalty, longevity and inner strength, much like the sunflower depicted in my logo.
I love writing about knights-in-distress and damsels-in-shining-armor. I also enjoy referencing and incorporating Filipino or Asian culture into my stories. When I'm not writing in my notebook or typing on my laptop, I'm probably binging on anime, drawing on my sketch pad or killing it at karaoke.
What inspired you to write your book?
'Catwished' is a story that I wrote in college and has become one of my favorites. It all started when I discovered that the traditional mythological genie was capable of shapeshifting into other animals. The book has gone through so many revisions over the years as my writing skills progressed, but the core romance has always remained the same.
Here is a short sample from the book:
Sid raced to the kitchen… and almost stepped on a bowl-turned-thousand-piece-puzzle on the floor. The place was a catastrophe, with pastry crumbs scattered all over the counter and orange juice spilled on the dining table. Then Sidiro suddenly remembered the cutting board and the knife beside the sink. “Oh no. Didn’t I tell you not to stray into the kitchen?”
By the time he rounded the end of the counter that partitioned the kitchen into separate cooking and dining areas, he had already heard the slight whimper of pain. He prepared himself for a stubborn and accidentally injured cat. He certainly didn’t expect to find a naked, bleeding woman huddled like a scared child on his tiled floor.
For a moment, Sidiro stood smack still, staring wide-eyed at her. The plush fur had been replaced by pearly skin, flawless from head to toe. The cat’s fur—woman’s hair, rather, was a swirl of silver and ivory locks that curled and fell over her shoulders. Amber eyes searched his, and blood-red lips trembled in surprise. Her hands were minute, as was her whole supple body.
One of her hands had a fresh wound, and it was dropping tiny red splotches of blood on the tiles.
“Oh man!” Sid snapped out of his reverie. He grabbed a dish rag from a rack near the sink to dab at the cut on her palm. He bent down while making sure that his towel was still tied securely. “What happened to you?!”
The woman sank further into the bend of the counter and tried to hide her bleeding hand behind her folded legs—legs that were clean and fair, unlike his perverted mind. 'Come on Sid, snap out of it! Never mind that she’s the sexiest bare woman you’ve ever seen. She’s bleeding, for heaven’s sake!'
He inhaled and reached out to touch her knee, painstakingly trying to avoid the display of provocative flesh she had all over her. “Hey, I didn’t mean to snap at you. But you’re wounded, and that’s why I’m worried. Want me to look at that cut?”

Shadows of Asphodel by Karen Kincy
When Ardis discovers a man bleeding to death on the battlefield, she knows she has to walk away.
1913. In her work as a mercenary for Austria-Hungary, Ardis has killed many men without hesitation. One more man shouldn’t matter, even if he manages to be a charming bastard while he stands dying in the snow.
But when he raises the dead to fight for him, she realizes she must save his life.
If a necromancer like Wendel dies, he will return as a monster–or so the rumors say. Ardis decides to play it safe and rescues him. What she doesn’t expect is Wendel falling to one knee and swearing fealty. Ardis never asked for the undying loyalty of a necromancer, but it’s too late now.
Ardis and Wendel forge an uneasy alliance underscored with sexual tension. Together, they confront rebels, assassins, and a conspiracy involving a military secret: robotically-enhanced soldiers for a world on the brink of war. But as Ardis starts to fall for Wendel, she realizes the scars from his past run more deeply than she ever imagined. Can Ardis stop Wendel before his thirst for revenge destroys him and everyone else around him?
