Sparks fly between charity-shop owner Naomi Wu and grumpy app developer Leon Fink, as they travel to tropical Thailand in search of Leon's runaway bride and a priceless family heirloom. * * * Naomi Wu is a staunch believer in good karma. Which is probably why she has a hard time saying no to people who come to her for help. So when an old friend calls and says she wants to stand her heartless fiancé at the altar, Naomi reluctantly agrees to become her getaway driver. Afterwards, Naomi returns to the safety of her small charity shop in sleepy Burford, Washington, satisfied with yet another successful collection of good karma. ...until said heartless fiancé descends on her like a raging monsoon. Leon Fink is a dating app developer whose lack of empathy has caused many to call him a high-functioning robot. He is driven, intense, and does not welcome surprises, good *or* bad. Obviously, Leon is left fuming when his fiancée bails on their wedding for an impromptu trip to Thailand with his grandmother's ring in tow...possibly the only thing he cares about more than himself. Despite their clashing personalities, the unlikely duo travel to Thailand in pursuit of the runaway bride and priceless heirloom, encountering mishaps along the way. But when sparks begin to fly between Naomi and Leon, they'll soon realize that sometimes when you're too busy looking for what you want, you end up missing what you truly need. 'Karma Colada' is a story of how one woman's good deed can change a man's life forever.

SEQUEL TO ALL THE WRONGS To love is to lose. Your sanity, your reason, your heart, your very being. She had come to understand this truth and had embraced it, not with fear, but with acceptance. Even if she ceased to exist as she once was, whatever she became, she would be his. For only in that surrender did she feel whole. Her will had crumbled, her resistance left in ruins. She was no longer the woman she was. She had become someone else, shaped by longing, claimed by a man who should never been hers to want. Yet her pursuit of him was relentless. A forbidden longing. A chase with no end in sight. But how much longer could she play this game alone? Would he ache for her the way she burned for him? Would the mere thought of her unravel him, setting his veins ablaze with a desire so raw it bordered on pain? Would he know the agony of restraint, the torment of wanting what was forbidden, of needing what he could not have? Or would he walk away unscathed, untouched by the fire that had consumed her whole?

Ira Verma never imagined her new job would land her inside the cold, echoing walls of the Rathore estate-a mansion guarded by silence, secrets, and the brooding presence of the man she's been hired to care for. Devraj Singh Rathore, heir to one of the most powerful families in India, is feared by many and understood by none. Bound to a wheelchair after a brutal attack, he shows no emotion, no warmth... and certainly no interest in the woman tending to him. At least, that's what Ira believes. What she doesn't know is that behind his still gaze lies a storm-dark, obsessive, and dangerously fixated on her. He watches when she's not looking, collects pieces of her she never gave, and burns with jealousy every time his younger brother dares to flirt with her. But Ira has a life outside this mansion. A fiancé her family chose. A future she thought she wanted. Devraj is done pretending. And when obsession begins to crack through restraint, Ira must face a chilling truth: You can only run so far... when the one who craves you is already inside your world.
