Although she's willing to try (almost) anything to find love, accidentally summoning a wish-granting stranger out of thin air was never part of the plan. Unfortunately, Beckett, her personal wish-granter, isn't exactly the sage and generous being she would expect. Instead, he loves to party, has attitude to spare, and boasts an uncanny ability to point out Iza's worst flaws. Iza decides to use one of her three wishes to create her dream man-a modern Mr. Darcy. If that esteemed gentleman can't impress her overbearing mother, no one can.

Soon enough, she's glimpsing the truth of the man behind the flippant persona, and each moment in his company makes her question everything she thought she wanted from love"--
