Brooke Devereaux has a lot she wants to escape from: a career she never asked for, a future she doesn't want, and parents who've only ever seen her as a business opportunity. But in her desire to experience life, she quickly realizes she's lacking in one very important skill--how to survive on her own.
Former soldier Cole Timmons is an expert at running away. Whether it's from his rural hometown, alcoholic father, or painful memories, Cole doesn't hesitate to leave... Until he encounters an out-of-place woman at a gas station in the middle of nowhere. The wealthy "princess" couldn't be more different from the country loner, and the pair get off to a rocky and misadventurous start.
But sometimes exteriors are armors meant to deceive. Sometimes what's beneath reveals more than anyone ever realized. Sometimes, in order to stop running away, a person simply needs to find something to run toward.

Portrait

Elizabeth Hayley is actually "Elizabeth" and "Hayley," two friends who love reading romance novels to obsessive levels. This mutual love prompted them to put their English degrees to good use by penning their own. The product is Pieces of Perfect, their debut novel. They learned a ton about one another through the process, like how they clearly share a brain and have a persistent need to text each other constantly (much to their husbands' chagrin). "Elizabeth" lives with her husband, daughter, and nutjob of a dog. "Hayley" lives with her husband, son, and her own crazy dog. Thankfully, their children are still too young to read. Elizabeth Hayley's writing motto is best captured by the words of Patrick Dennis: "I always start with a clean piece of paper and a dirty mind."
