Desires Known

A ring. A man. A centuries-old secret. To accountant Emily Spencer the junky thrift-store ring is perfect for her Halloween costume. A few too many drinks a slip of the tongue and all of a sudden theres a guy calling her mistress and demanding to know her desires. If she just ignores the weirdness itll go away right? Wrong. Hal is a creature of almost limitless power eternally bound to serve the owner of the ring. Though modern technology is puzzling he has no difficulty deciding he likes being out in the world again. Even if he has to train a reluctant but undeniably attractive new mistress. Unfortunately the man who lost Hals ring so long ago is still around--rich unscrupulous and more than a little insane. Hell try anything--deceit treachery torture--to regain control of Hal. Including murder...
