Crystal Genie — Opal Carew

Celeste does not trust love, especially since she's watched both her mother and her sister stay with men who mistreat them just because those men claim to love them. Zurvan, the genie Celeste frees from an ancient crystal, also doesn't trust love, nor does he trust women. He was imprisoned, tortured and cursed by Atia, a woman who claims she loved him yet punished him because he couldn't love her back. Once the barriers between Zurvan and Celeste crumble, and Celeste realizes she would gladly sacrifice herself for Zurvan's happiness, will they both learn to trust the love that blazes between them? And if so, how do they deal with the fact that Zurvan is cursed to eternal imprisonment?
