Zarayah Mello knows the love she dreams of is doomed from the start…
But the heart wants what the heart wants.
Thirteen-year-old Zarayah Mello knew she loved fellow karate class student Zaire from the moment she laid eyes on him. She also knew that her parents, siblings, and even her beliefs would never accept her love for him.
But after she turns fifteen, they cross paths more and more and form a friendship, her improper love for him only grows.
Torn apart by life and circumstance, she’s brokenhearted. Until she turns eighteen and he comes back into her life, sweeps her off her feet, and makes secret plans to propose to her on graduation day. But Zarayah doesn’t know that Zaire is hiding a secret from her—the kind of secret that rips solid marriages apart, never mind their budding love. Besides, will anyone forgive her for falling for her older brothers’ friend? And will she still love him when she learns the truth he’s been hiding from her?

What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
I was inspired to write this story to share how traditions and culture can play a role in a young girl’s life. Growing up, I loved to read romance novels, but found that there wasn’t much diversity in the books that I read. I wanted to share a different kind of light to romance novels. Especially when it comes to dating. The story follows a young girl who falls in love with an older guy and how she navigates this romance that is forbidden by her family. It shows her emotional struggle in choosing between the man she loves and her loyalty to her family. When she finally thinks that she will be with him forever, she discovers that he has a secret, one that leads her to another difficult choice…
