would’ve killed him,” she whispered. “If I had the magic, he’d be dead. But you were right. He doesn’t deserve to die.”
“Hold on. Did you just say I was right?”
“Congratulations.” She shook her head, smirking. Maybe a little of his optimism was rubbing off on her. And maybe that wasn’t a bad thing. There was room for second chances—for Seth, for her and Donatti. Starting now. “So, this wasn’t the getaway I expected,” she said.
Donatti’s shoulders sagged like somebody just laid the weight of the world on them. “Some getaway,” he muttered. “Well, babe, I guess I’ll take us home. You ready?”
“Home?”
“Yeah. You’re exhausted, you’re worried about Cy, and...well, you never really wanted to come out here with me, anyway. I know you’re not big on romance.” He gave her a smile so forced, he might as well have had a gun at his back. “So I’ll take you where you want to go.”
“Good. Because I want to go to a semi-secluded cabin on scenic Wolf Pond, for one remaining romantic night with the man I love.”
If his jaw fell any further, he’d have to reattach it.
She smiled. “Get me to a bed, Donatti. We’ll make all the magic you want.”

The Gavyn Donatti Series
Book 1: Master of None
Gavyn Donatti is the world's unluckiest thief. Just ask all the partners he's lost over the years. And when he loses an irreplaceable item that he was hired to steal for his ruthless employer, Trevor--well, his latest bungle might just be his last. But then his luck finally turns: right when Trevor's thugs have him cornered, a djinn -- otherwise known as a genie -- appears to save him.
Unfortunately, this genie -- who goes by the very non-magical name of "Ian" -- is more Hellboy than dream girl. An overgrown and extremely surly man who hates Donatti on the spot, he may call the thief master, but he isn't interested in granting three wishes. Ian informs Donatti that he is bound to help the thief fulfill his life's purpose, and then he will be free.
The problem is that neither Donatti nor Ian has any idea exactly what that purpose is.
At first Donatti's too concerned with his own survival to look a gift genie in the mouth, but when his ex-girlfriend Jazz and her young son get drawn into the crossfire, the stakes skyrocket. And when Ian reveals that he has an agenda of his own -- with both Donatti and the murderous Trevor at the center of it -- Donatti will have to become the man he never knew he could be. Or the entire world could pay the price.

Book 2: Master and Apprentice
When stealing’s your only talent, it isn’t easy being a retired thief. Especially when you’ve graduated from thief to killer—and your partner doesn’t care if you die along with your targets.
Luck has never been on Gavyn Donatti’s side. Anyone else with magic abilities inherited from a distant genie relative would have it made, but not Donatti, descendant of a cranky, shape-shifting genie named Ian. The prince of a murdered kingdom, consumed with revenge and driven by an unbreakable curse, Ian is determined to hunt down and destroy every last one of his enemies in the power-hungry snake clan—at any cost, including his life. Or Donatti’s.
Obsessed by his own rage, Ian has never really taught Donatti how to use his abilities. So when a powerful cult of magic-users captures Ian’s wife, the princess Akila, and then Ian himself, the thief is left alone to take on dozens of half-djinn and their mysterious leader with designs on world domination.
Facing an impossible mission, Donatti is forced to turn to an enemy for help—one who claims to know how to unlock the thief’s true potential. Trusting a snake might be the last mistake Donatti ever makes—but if he doesn’t learn to wield the power inside him, everyone will pay the ultimate price.
