black comingofage contemporary ii interracial karissa race romance teens white ya zahair

♥ VOL 2: Book II in the FORBIDDEN series♥
♡♥

  The hardest things Karissa White had ever had to tackle were picking out the right outfits every day, choosing what country she and her best friend should visit whenever they needed a vacation, and her parents.
  It was a secret to most who'd never spent a day in Karissa's shoes, or house, that her parents' views and prejudices were things the 18-year-old struggled with since she was a child. It was the same reason why her older brother had run off and eloped with a beautiful Indian woman and rarely ever came home during holidays.
  But as summer peaked its head of endless beach days and sunshine, and college loomed in the distant but near future--at the end of August to be exact--Karissa found that she had even more reason to be worried about her parents.
  Because she liked a guy. A kind, beautiful, driven guy. And as they got closer, she worried more about taking him home to meet her parents rather than what they would think of him. She already knew what they thought of him despite not knowing he existed. It would be the same thing they thought of her sister-in-law, only worse. Because for some reason, one of the worst things you could ever be in Mr. and Mrs. White's eyes, is black.
  And Karissa feared that she'd be just like her brother by the end of summer--running from her parents and toward the person of her affection. 
  Love was a messed up emotion. But so was lust and infatuation. And they worked a lot faster when it seemed like life was sprinting by you, and time was running out.
  But she's willing to risk it all anyway.

In Sunshine or In Shadow ✔ [Completed] by TwistedIImperfection

Riddhima reread Marcus's monologue several times, trying to fully capture what was written on the page. But she couldn't stop herself from thinking about something else. How like Lavinia, someone had found her after the act. Vansh. It was still a blur but she could distinctly remember his voice, the warmth of his body and comfort of his arms holding her close to him. He'd whispered soothing words to her, little lies that made her feel calm and at peace. But most of all it had been the smell of his skin and cologne and that indescribable scent that was just Vansh. The same scent that had started her heart racing on the dance floor had also made her realize that she was safe. She quietly put the books aside, not wishing to relive anymore of her experiences. She knew now that she had been right, she did feel a real connection with these characters but she didn't want to face that right now. Instead Riddhima curled up, hugging her pillow close and shut her eyes. She pretended that she was in Vansh's arms again, letting the smell of him envelope her completely. This was what made her feel safe and secure, like she wasn't falling apart. Only this. Only Vansh. Warning: Violence and Graphic Imagery COVER BY - @Paracosmic_Soul
