Haven

It was like living in a small-town prison with nothing else to do but watch Raine Carson, our family's landscaper, from a distance. My view out the window, and within my dreams, made me believe he was perfect.

Then I found out everything can appear distorted from afar.

Raine, an unapologetic and unfiltered man was living a life that masked secrets he didn't want anyone to know. But my curiosity led me to the truth, something I wasn't prepared to face.

Raine

She knew I'd fall for her playful ploy and scarlet-glossed lips. She was right. Even though every person in this town had something spiteful to say about Haven Leigh's life-the girl who had been handed everything on a slab of gold. I ignored the rumors, and sought out the proof, finding more than I was looking for.

While struggling with disabling side-effects left behind by my drug-addict mother, Haven became the hope I needed. She was the good I wanted to be.

But, as it turns out, she was the trouble I should have stayed away from.
