Sherlock has returned safely back to London soil, or so he and his friends think. But the veil is dropping and the shadows of their pasts are closing in like sharks to their flailing prey. Can Sherlock, and those he cares about, evade 'Sumatra? And can Sherlock rise to face the greatest challenge of his life: being a father? Sequel to 'Despite the Odds' and 'Tempting the Odds'.

Introducing Rosanne Jones- the new resident at 221 Baker Street. At their first meeting, Sherlock declares her boring and orders her out, to John's chagrin and Rose's anger. However, things start to change slowly as he realizes she's far cleverer than she looks, and might just be the one thing he's been missing in life. But what if she's not who she says she is? (Sherlock x OC)
