All's Fair in Love
(2025)(The fifth book in the Romance in New Orleans series)
A novel by Katherine L Evans
Some mistakes change everything… and some desires are impossible to resist.Sabrina
Coming home to New Orleans was supposed to be the start of my perfect future. I had it all planned out—marry the guy I’d grown up with and loved for years, build the life I’d always dreamed of, and finally feel safe in the choices I’d made.
But that future shatters in an instant.
Blindsided by betrayal, humiliated in a way I never imagined, I do something reckless. I let go for once. I let myself drown in a stranger’s touch, in the heat of one unforgettable night with a man who makes me feel alive again.
No strings. No regrets.
At least, that’s what I tell myself.
Then I walk into a family gathering… and there he is. Carson.
The man I tangled myself up with is no stranger at all—he’s been part of my life all along. He’s a longtime friend of my brother. He’s someone I was never supposed to let touch me.
And now? He’s everywhere. In my apartment. At every social gathering with my friends and family. In my head. Constantly.
Carson
I don’t do relationships. I don’t do messy, complicated feelings. I learned young that love is conditional, that it comes with obligations and expectations I refuse to meet.
One night with her was supposed to be just that—one night. No complications. No history. No future.
Then I find out who she is.
And as if that’s not enough, I’m already teetering on the edge of my own disaster. My father—the man I’ve spent my entire life resenting—had a stroke. Now he’s in a coma, and I’m left standing at his hospital bedside, unsure of how I’m supposed to feel.
I should care. I should be mourning the time we lost. Instead, all I feel is anger, regret, and the unbearable weight of unfinished business.
Then there’s her.
Sabrina is the one thing that silences the chaos in my head, the one person who makes me forget about the storm waiting for me outside of her arms. But she’s also a walking, breathing complication. She’s off-limits, and every second I spend with her threatens to unravel the fragile balance I’ve been clinging to.
But secrets have a way of coming out, and when the truth about us is exposed, it threatens to destroy everything.
Our families. Our friendships. And the fragile, impossible thing that should never have existed between us in the first place.
