Against the Odds

Liliana Summers never expected life to turn out this way. A once-hopeful young woman from a small town, she dreamed of a stable career and a loving family. But those dreams shattered when she found herself a single mother, struggling to build a future while carrying the weight of guilt and sacrifice. Leaving her son, Dylan, in the care of her parents, she moves to the city, determined to carve a path for herself in the academic world.

Balancing motherhood, career aspirations, and the lingering wounds of the past, Liliana's life takes an unexpected turn when she meets Aiden Wilson-a genuine, patient, and steadfast man with his own complicated past. A military officer with a deep sense of loyalty and understanding, Aiden sees past Liliana's walls, offering her the kind of unwavering support she's never had.

But love isn't the only challenge Liliana faces. In her new workplace, she battles skepticism and rivalry, particularly from Catherine Brooke, a colleague determined to undermine her success. As she navigates workplace politics, unexpected confrontations, and the resurfacing of ghosts from her past-including the father of her child-Liliana must decide if she is willing to let go of her fears and embrace the future she's fought so hard to build.

Against the Odds is a story of resilience, love, and second chances. It explores the raw struggles of career-driven motherhood, the power of found family, and the courage to open one's heart-even when the past threatens to pull it apart. With moments of heartfelt inspiration, romance, and humor, Liliana's journey is one of strength, healing, and ultimately, a love that defies all odds.
