Against the Odds (Book 2)

♥ 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.
