Against The Odds

All Rights Reserved ©

Summary

Antonia "Nia" Boone knows better than to gamble with her heart. After a failed marriage and a devastating betrayal, moving to Los Angeles is her chance to start over. A new job. A new city. A chance to discover who she is without living for someone else. Love isn’t part of the plan... And neither were David “Monk” Fox and Shawn Laurent. Best friends. Business partners. Two men who’ve spent years refusing to acknowledge the line they’ve never quite crossed. Until Nia. And the closer the three of them become, the harder it is to ignore the connection growing between them—or the desires none of them expected. Some risks change your future. Some change who you are. And maybe the greatest odds they’ll ever face… are the ones stacked against their own hearts. Against the Odds is a steamy MMF with BDSM themes and Kink, friendship-to-lovers, humour, and a slow-burn romance where all three hearts are on the line.

What to Expect

Hello lovely readers, old friends and new ones who somehow stumbled into my corner of Inkitt.

Before we begin, let’s get the important stuff out of the way so nobody can accuse me of trickery later.

First things first... This is a MMF Romance... actually book 5 of my MMF series (although they are all stand-alone. Characters will cross over.)

Which means there will be scenes involving two men and one woman, two men together, and all the messy feelings that come with that. If that’s not your thing, that’s completely okay—but this is probably your cue to hit that back button before you get emotionally attached.

Secondly...

If you’ve come here straight from Their Ballerina, I feel it’s important to manage expectations.

Nobody gets murdered. There are no bodies hidden in basements. No cults. No blood-soaked psychopaths.

Honestly, compared to Caleb, Mia and Jagger, Shawn, Nia and Monk are practically model citizens.

Well... mostly. They’re still kinky as hell. Just significantly less likely to stab anyone.

This story leans much more into romance, relationships, emotional baggage, poor life choices, and three people attempting to navigate feelings they absolutely did not sign up for.

There is BDSM. There is kink. There are power dynamics. There are collars.

There are probably a few bad decisions. But unlike some of my other books, the biggest danger in this one isn’t murder. It’s feelings. And frankly, those things are terrifying.

As always, this book is intended for readers 18+ due to sexual content, kink themes, language, and adult situations. If any of that makes you uncomfortable, that’s perfectly okay. There are plenty of other books out there.

If you’re still here, grab a cookie, get comfortable, and prepare for a healthy amount of flirting, tension, denial andquestionable communication skills.

And lastly, because I will never stop saying it...

Comments, votes, and general reader chaos genuinely help keep me motivated. I write because I love it, but hearing your thoughts along the way makes the whole experience far more fun.

Right. I think that’s enough waffling from me.

Enjoy. Chrissy xo
