Against All Odds

Against All Odds

​

Dahlia Amy

Odds can be manipulated, but fate ultimately decides.

 

Raya

My whole life, I’ve been watched by entities that no one else appears to see.

 

But lately, there’s someone new. An angel on my shoulder who saves me every time I almost fall. There has to be, because otherwise, my life choices would’ve had me killed more than once.

 

But as the veil thins and I’m slipping further down a path of destruction, knowing she’s there is no longer enough.

 

I don’t care what it takes. I have to meet my guardian angel.

 

 

Seren

When a lifetime of questionable morals finally got me killed, I was offered a choice. Accept my fate and depart to hell, or get one chance to save my soul… by saving that of another questionable person as their ironic guardian angel.

 

As I’m terrified of fire, my choice was easy. Or so I thought.

 

Until I met my assignment. A college student who surrounds herself with bad influences, lies and manipulates her way through life, and numbs her pain with alcohol and drugs.

 

She’s a damn headache. But she’s my only chance.

 

I might’ve chosen hell if I knew she’d turn my life into one.

In this dark sapphic paranormal romance, two morally gray women must turn the impossible odds in their favor when a twist of fate ties their souls together. The reluctant alliance slowly burns into an obsessive, forbidden love as they struggle to forgive each other… and themselves.
