Travel writer Stella comes face-to-face with ex-boyfriend Killian when she's forced to give him a ride to her best friend's wedding in South Africa, pushing her to confront their past-and maybe even consider a future. 

Season 1 of Against All Odds

***

Twenty-something free-spirit Stella Huxley is used to going solo, opting for a life of impulsive adventure and often ending up in less than savory situations she only just manages to get herself out of. She has a dream life and a dream job, even if it's come at the cost of past sacrifices that still haunt her. 

When she returns to South Africa for her best friend's wedding, she plans to breeze in and out, but then she sees Killian Beckett-the only man she's ever loved...and the man she left behind six years ago. When unfortunate circumstances contrive to fling Stella and Killian together, they share a journey, a car, and a room across the country. At first, their reunion is rocky, but with the gauntlet of wedding preparations keeping them close and old memories bubbling to the surface, the fire between them soon threatens to reignite. Killian might be everything Stella's ever wanted, but can they overcome all the reasons they didn't work out for a second chance at love? And as the universe conspires to unite them in the most unexpected ways, can Stella's heart withstand the pressure from the man Killian has become?

T E N E B R A E A S T R A L I S "Under starry skies, our shadows entwine, forever bound by love's celestial tie." Stella Malevola Hayes, a 30-year-old secret agent, spent her life living in the shadows, risking it all for missions she didn't fully believe in. Her final mission-to assassinate a dangerous criminal-ends in betrayal and her untimely death. But instead of the void she expected, Stella awakens in the world of her late mother's favorite book, The Torment Paradise. The book, a cherished gift from her mother, was a dark tale of love, betrayal, and redemption. To her horror, Stella isn't reincarnated as the pure-hearted heroine. Instead, she becomes Lady Aurelia-Amara Lumina Evernight, the villainess destined to destroy the heroine's life and meet a gruesome end. Amara, known for her cruelty and obsession with the male lead, is condemned to lose everything in the story: her wealth, her status, and her life. Determined to escape this fate, Stella resolves to avoid Amara's destructive path. But rewriting destiny in The Torment Paradise proves harder than she imagined. Every move she makes ripples through the story: the cold-hearted Crown Prince begins to see through her facade, the brooding knight assigned to protect her harbors suspicions and desires of his own, and the heroine-far less innocent than she appears-might not be an ally after all. As Stella struggles to navigate Amara's life and avoid her tragic end, she uncovers dark secrets about the world of the book-and the role her mother's gift might have played in her reincarnation. But the more she tries to change the story, the more it seems the ending is determined to catch up with her. Will Stella find a way to escape the chains of Amara's doomed fate, or is she trapped forever in The Torment Paradise-a story of her mother's choosing?

Like the sun, you burned me and left unhealed wounds on my skin, blinding me with your beauty just to leave me reduced to burnt ashes.
