Summary:
Sometimes the best version of yourself is the
one you can only see through someone else’s eyes. But what happens when those
eyes belong to the one person you don’t want them to?
Thanks to her father’s
affair and her parent’s resulting separation, Presley Knox has been ripped from
her life in California and dropped into an abyss in the middle of Georgia. With
her alternative looks and creative spirit, trying to find her place in a sea of
jocks and cheerleaders is hard, but doing it while living with her cousin who
belittles her every chance she gets is almost impossible. There is one person
in Carver who embodies everything Presley hates about her new life and she
can’t help but use him as the outlet for all of her frustrations.
Nash Carter’s bad boy
image isn’t a façade; he drinks too much, sleeps around, makes his money street
racing and has zero plans for his future beyond living a rowdy life with his
likeminded dad and older brother. His good looks, cut body and popularity have
always gotten him anything and anyone
he’s ever wanted. That is until Presley Knox showed up at Carver High.
Nash knows to steer clear
of Presley and her sharp tongue that’s always aimed at him. But that becomes
impossible when they’re paired together for a semester-long photography
assignment that promises to push them into the depths of each other’s personal
lives. In order to survive the semester, Nash implements a new strategy: get
the one girl who’s immune to his charm to change her mind about him.
With Nash’s unwavering pursuit
to know everything about her, and with
the nagging voice inside her head that’s insisting there’s more to him than
she’s letting herself see, Presley struggles to keep her wall firmly in place. When
it slowly begins to crumble, Nash wonders if he should have kept his distance after
all because the girl that’s been hiding under Presley’s hard shell is breaking
his heart wide open.
Nash has been a lot of
things to a lot of girls, but Presley’s the only one he’s ever wanted to
shelter and protect. But how is he going to do that when he knows she’s right
to keep their friendship a secret in order to protect herself from him?
Due to mature language and content, A Son of Carver is intended for readers
17+.

Excerpt:
“From one to ten, how much do you hate living here?” I ask Presley.
She laughs – a normal cute laugh, not an angry one. “Depends on where I am.”
“You’re here; in your room… with me.”

About the Author
An escapist filled with wanderlust, writing
is Haven’s responsible adult version of getting in the car and driving without
aim. Reading and music are close seconds. She and her husband can often be found
checking out their favorite bands locally or hundreds of miles away via road
trips. Reading is something they don’t have in common but he tolerates her late
night, dimly-lit habit.
Haven graduated with a B.A., double
majoring in English literature and fine arts. She made a living writing about
trends in interior design but thoroughly enjoys that fact that people, unlike
furniture, can fall in love. She especially loves when they fall desperately
and into a forbidden kind of love. She has a slightly embarrassing fascination
with the period of life that sits awkwardly between childhood and adulthood;
the years when nothing is certain, lots of mistakes are made, falling in love
is inevitable and finding yourself is a struggle. For her it’s a fun place to
escape to and she hopes her readers agree.
To date, Haven has self-published six new
adult and young adult romance novels, and her first traditionally published
novel will be released through Harmony Ink Press in July, 2017. She also works
as a graphic designer but considers Mom her most important title.
