One accidental wish. One impossibly hot genie. And a dream job that might just turn into a nightmare.

Scarlet Monroe is tired of playing by the rules.

At thirty-five, she has spent years climbing the ranks at Velvet, one of New York's most influential beauty and lifestyle publications, only to watch her promised promotion go to someone else. To make things worse, her boyfriend Ethan treats her like an appointment in his calendar rather than a priority. She is stuck, frustrated, and ready for a change.

When a vintage perfume bottle from a luxury Dubai fragrance house lands on her desk, Scarlet expects inspiration for her next feature. Instead, she finds Sahir. He is calm, sharp, effortlessly attractive—and a real, live genie.

Scarlet does not believe in magic, but she does believe in justice. In a moment of pure frustration, she makes a reckless wish. By the next morning, her boss is gone, and Scarlet is suddenly running the show.

But success comes with a price. As work disasters pile up, Scarlet realizes running the department is a lot harder than she bargained for. And worse, Sahir is becoming a major distraction. It turns out magic can change your career in a flash, but it makes a mess out of love.

With only three wishes and everything on the line, Scarlet must decide what she truly wants before she runs out of magic altogether.

Warm, witty and irresistibly escapist, The Problem with Wishes is a sparkling romantic comedy about ambition, love, impossible choices and one very sexy genie.
