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.

|BOOK 1| Disclaimer: This book is independent of all the books that will come after it. It can be read as a stand-alone book. However, the future books may be a direct sequel (picking up from where this leaves off) or a prequel (leading up to this story). ~ "Love? It's no magic. Love is the result of multiple chemical reactions in the brain." "Now, I know why you are never invited to weddings." Lee Sung-Hoon is a man of science who needs to rationalize everything he sees and feels. The scientist strongly disapproves of the concept of love and remains aloof ninety percent of the time. The man's dull, colorless life takes a turn when he accidentally bumps into the Lady In Blue at his best friend's sister's wedding. He tries desperately to keep the woman, who seems to stick around after the wedding, at arm's length. He wants nothing to do with her except get her coat cleaned as an apology. Kim Cheon-sa. Aka, the Lady In Blue, only seems mysterious the day she meets Sung-Hoon. She is clever, gorgeous, and a science nerd - a female version of Sung-Hoon with feelings. Plus, she has an unhealthy obsession with the color Blue. Did I mention they both love trivia? However, a car accident, a council meeting, and his best friend's sudden interest in the woman develop all sorts of crazy emotions in him. No scientific experiments or trivia ever prepared him for this day. Moreover, his behavior on their not-date and his best friend's flirting might deduct his chances of getting his girl. Will he be able to get the girl, or will she choose his best friend over him?

When Bear's sister and niece move to town, Acid tries his best to behave. Bear's niece, Juniper, is a ray of sunshine who always sees the best in people, but she lacks some social skills.

THE FEELINGS WE NEVER PLANNED
[This story runs parallel to Melodies on a Canvas. You don't have to read that book fully, it can be read as a standalone, but please take a look at the Authors note first.] ANNA LORRAINE - a focused and serious assistant manager at work. Poised. Composed. Locked in. She solves problems with a cool calm and quiet elegance. Outside of work? That's a whole different story. She's dramatic, chaotic, and will go to wild lengths for the people she loves. ALEX ANDERSON - a famous event planner who manages events without a single flaw, like he's just styling his hair. Cool, serious, a little arrogant. He doesn't tolerate mistakes-not at work. But off-duty? He does a full 180. He's sarcastic, chaotic, tells bad jokes, and lives to pass up funny comments. So what happens when the two of them are forced to work together? Both headstrong. Both allergic to errors. One refuses to take criticism. The other is smug and thrives on pushing buttons. One thing's for sure: There will be arguments. There will be banter. And there will absolutely be "I can't stand this person" energy. But when their past starts to catch up with them, will either of them be willing to get vulnerable? Follow the journey of Anna and Alex as they go from "I can't stand you" to "you're bearable enough to have a forever." ~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~ STARTED:- 3 AUGUST 2025 END:- ?
