A djinn resigned to being alone meets a phoenix who thinks she is off limits, but it doesn’t stop him.

Teebie has spent the last few years making her guests happy and easing them into the life of newly mated couples. Things have been a little more involved with the arrival of the fey, but the basic dance was the same. Keep them fed, keep them happy and nudge them in the right direction.
Andor has lived his five centuries pursuing his own happiness, but his mother puts her foot down. It is time for him to get serious and find a mate. His father has made the arrangements and the Crossroads awaits.
The moment he meets his first djinn, he is fascinated. She is graceful, intelligent and vivid blue.
Even knowing that she is off limits, he can’t help but pursue her by every means at his disposal. She doesn’t run.
