She loves him and he loves her, but her family refuses to accept their devotion to each other.
Zarayah Mello falls for a fellow karate student, Zaire, only to learn he cares for her too. Just... not the way she hoped. Over time, his affection grows, but their young love is interrupted-her family does not approve. She's forbidden from seeing him and she's an obedient daughter. But her heart longs for the one she loves. Years later, Zarayah and Zaire cross paths once more, and soon their past love is rekindled. But Zaire has a secret with the power to break her heart... again. Zarayah must discover if their love can overcome impossible odds and lead to happiness-or if they are destined to fall apart from the start. *** Second Edition
