Twenty-three year old Dimitri has to do what he is told-literally. Controlled by a paranormal bond, he is forced to use wits to fulfill his unlimited deadly wishes made by multimillionaire Karl Walker.
Dimitri has no idea how his family line became genie trapped in the bonds. He just knows resisting has never ended well. When he meets Syd-assertive, sexy, intelligent Syd-he becomes determined to make her his own. Except Karl has ensured Dimitri can not tell anyone about the bond, and Syd Is not the type to tolerate secrets.
Then Karl starts sending him away on back-to-back wishes. Unable to balance love and lies, Dimitri sets out to uncover Karl's ultimate plan and put it to an end. But doing so forces him to confront the one wish he never saw coming-the wish that will destroy him.
Summoned is represented by Rossano Trentin of TZLA.

Excerpt
I dislike having to murder someone. Kidnapping is worse. At least when I setup to kill, I know what's coming. No connections, no honesty, no surprises. Everything I say and do are just steps to luring in my victim. Once the victim falls right into the trap, the next move is swift: crushed windpipe, fatal concussion, or a good ol' fashioned headshot.
Kidnapping, on the other hand, is a little trickier. First, the victim has an opportunity to respond. I don't like this. Sometimes they cry. Sometimes they manage to alert the authorities. And sometimes they escape, usually by inflicting bodily harm on me.
Dead people do not retaliate. Kidnapped ones, well, they're a little more. . . lively.
The second major difference between killing and kidnapping is my conscience. I get in and out with a kill. We have no chance to bond.
Abductees require a little more one-on-one. As much as I try to keep the switch turned off, I cannot help but listen to their pleas and demands. And I usually realize I'm a jerk.
That's exactly where I find myself one late afternoon in June. I prefer doing this at night, but moreover, I would prefer not doing this at all.
Instead, I have a belligerent nine year old girl sitting in the passenger seat of my Honda Accord, shackles on her wrists and ankles and a small stuffed bunny on her lap. She's eyeing me in a way that makes me self-conscious. Like I'm the bad guy.
Probably because I am the bad guy.
