African King Taka Olufemi has traveled over four hundred years to find the woman who holds the soul of his murdered queen and he's a little cranky. With a ruby brooch as his vessel, the former king is forced to grant wishes to ungrateful mortals hoping to one day find, and win, the heart of his lost love. 

But it will take more than good looks and an impressive pedigree to earn the love of Violet Jackson. The ambitious interior designer doesn't remember Taka or their history. Love--with its inevitable heartbreak chaser--has no place in Violet's immediate life plan. All the handsome "genie" can do for her is pony up on the three wishes he's promised and try not to be a pain while he's at it.
 
While the arrogant king is praying for his submissive queen and the faithless object of his affection isn't praying at all, guardian angel, Aniweto, is praying for them both.  With Ani's help, Taka and Violet's epic love will be rekindled and this royal couple-behaving-badly will finally earn their happily-ever-after through the grace of the Almighty.
