Kara Marcus is desperate to
forget the past and move on. But she can’t escape her choices—especially when
she finds herself falling in love…
Since the first day she stepped into her childhood Southern
Baptist church, two truths have been engrained in Kara Marcus’s head: sex
before marriage is bad and murder is a sin. And that’s why Kara can never
forgive herself for what she did at the age of sixteen.
Now, as second semester of freshman year comes to a close, Kara
has stood by her high school boyfriend, Ethan. But as they seem to grow further
and further apart every day, Kara realizes that she has feelings for someone
else: Ethan’s roommate Colt.
Suddenly, Kara’s clear-cut world shifts out of focus, and she’s
torn between what her head tells her is right and what her heart is desperately
pushing her to do—even if it means committing another undeniable sin...

Excerpt:
Miles From Kara
By: Melissa West
Colt took a step in my direction. “Can I ask you a question, Kara?”
My eyes drifted up to his. He was so close now, close enough that I could smell his woodsy scent. Most guys smelled like cologne or soap, but Colt was all earthy. All male. It was too much. “Maybe,” I said, unwilling to offer more.
“Why do you stay with him?”
Of all the questions I expected to hear out of his mouth, that wasn’t one of them. It was the one question I couldn’t answer, even to myself. I drew an uncomfortable breath and shook my head, my gaze finding the floor. “What do you mean?”
Another step. “You know what I mean.”
“Why do you care?”
He paused, his arms still at his sides, his heart beating noticeably in his chest. “I don’t know.”
Our eyes met, and in his gaze I saw the same war that brewed in my heart. This wasn’t right, yet I couldn’t keep myself away. The moment drew on, an electric charge building all around us. Every nerve in my body ached to close the distance between us, to see if his skin felt as warm as it looked. I wanted to trace the lines of his tattoos. I wanted to hear and feel his breath on my face. I swallowed hard, my resolve to be the good girl my mom raised me to be faltering.
