COVER REVEAL, EXCERPT & GIVEAWAY! Miles From Kara by Melissa West!

August 2, 2014 by Jaime Leave a Comment


MILES FROM KARA 
By: Melissa West
Publication Date: December 2, 2014

You guys! We love Melissa West here at Fic Fare and we’re so excited to get the chance to reveal the cover for her upcoming MILES FROM KARA!  This is the second book in the Charleston Haven series and these are companions! We even have an exclusive excerpt! 

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…

Read an Excerpt 

Colt reached the gate and unhooked it, holding it open for me to slip in front of him. My body grazed his as I slid past him, instantly causing butterflies to swarm through my stomach. I glanced up to find him watching me, his stare penetrating.


“Is this okay?” he asked.

My heart hit in my chest, reminding me that I was there, really there, experiencing the moment. “I think it has to be.”

He nodded once with a small smile and then touched my back gently as he directed me over to a pair of open chairs in the far left corner from the guitarist.

I expected his hand to drop away once we were safely inside the pool area, but instead he let it slide around my waist loosely. I wanted to look up at him again, check to see if he was feeling the intensity that I felt, but I couldn’t bring myself to do it. I was afraid that if I moved too fast or shifted the wrong way, he’d remember that his hand was still touching me and would let it fall away. Never in my life had I been so desperate to keep someone close to me.

As we reached the chairs, the smooth sounds of the guitar and the singer’s rich voice were the only things we could hear. I sat down in a sun chair, expecting him to sit beside me, but instead he straddled the space behind me and pulled my back flush against his chest. His chin was just inches over my shoulder, and my heart was a crazy mess that I knew he could hear pounding in my chest.

I opened my mouth to say something, when he threaded his fingers through mine and then rested our hands on his legs. “Listen,” he said, simply.

“I—”

“Just listen.”

I closed my mouth and focused on the words pouring out from the guitarist, and each word seemed like it was meant just for us. Words of passion and bravery and hope and love. Words of longing and chance and willingness to try. I closed my eyes as I took them in and felt Colt’s breath against my cheek, my neck.

“I want to kiss you,” he whispered, “but I won’t. Not yet.”

I opened my eyes and turned toward him, his face so, so close. “Why…?”

“Because when I kiss you, I want to know that you’re with me. And only me.”

I wanted to tell him that I was only with him, that I had been for months now, but I couldn’t put my heart on the line like that. Not yet.

As soon as the words hit in my mind, I realized that he was saying the same thing. He was talking about a kiss and me my heart, but they were one in the same.

“Okay,” I said instead.

“But you should know,” he said, his gaze dropping to my mouth. “That every fiber in my body is aching to touch your lips. To taste them. It’s consuming me.”

I stilled in his arms.

“But I won’t.”
