The Beautiful Disaster

By Ruby D Chaney

Hayes Ashford saw me at my worst.

And he still looked at me like I was worth saving.

Two years ago, I called him a corporate sellout at a charity gala and disappeared into the night. Built a life off-grid, living in a van, writing poetry no one would ever read.

Then my mother died and left me fifty million dollars.

The catch? I have to complete her bucket list road trip. Seven days. Three thousand miles. With the executor of her estate.

Hayes Ashford.

The man I've been running from. The man who's apparently been in love with me this whole time.

I don't do love. I don't do staying.

But forced into a car together, traveling from coast to coast, completing my mother's final wishes-Hayes challenges every wall I've built. He sees the real me beneath the chaos. And God help me, I'm starting to see him too.

I lost myself once trying to run from everything.

I won't make that mistake again.

This time, I'm choosing what scares me most: him.

The Beautiful Disaster is a raw, emotional road trip romance featuring a grumpy poet with trust issues, a sunshine billionaire who falls first, forced proximity that ignites slow-burn chemistry, and the kind of messy, honest love that doesn't fix you-it just makes you brave enough to fix yourself.
