Bypassing the Billionaire
I may be only 24 years old, but I swear I'm going through a mid-life crisis… way early.
Maybe it’s because of my broken engagement.
Maybe it’s my nightmare stage-mom who’s pushed me all my life to use my looks to “land a rich man.”
Maybe it’s the fact that I gave up my promising TV news career for a guy.
Did I mention I was basically left at the altar? So… yeah.
Whatever the reason, I’m determined to completely change my life. It’s goodbye makeup, goodbye fashion, hello to keeping my head down, working hard, and proving I’m NOT just another pretty face while I fight my way back into the career I love— off-camera this time.
I’ve been lucky enough to land a producing job at Worldwide News Network in Atlanta, and NO ONE is EVER going to make me compromise myself again.
Not even Larson Overstreet of the Manhattan Overstreets, heir to not one but TWO family fortunes.
WNN’s star anchor has it all—good looks, a prestigious job, literally billions of dollars to his name, and more women than he can count throwing themselves at him.
Not me though. I’m not interested in him-- or his stunning blue eyes-- or his even-more-stunning body-- or his maddeningly smooth and sexy deep voice.
Not at all.
Larson’s everything I don’t want. He’s too good looking, too charming, and worst of all, too rich.
The last thing I’m looking for is another big money honey. In fact, I’d prefer a nice little guy from the mail room, maybe a guy who lives at home like I’ve been forced to do.
That spark I feel when I’m working closely with Larson? I can handle it. It’s really not a big deal.
But then we have to travel together for a special report, and we get stranded together thanks to a rare Southern snowstorm. That’s when I start to realize maybe Larson’s not the entitled, pretty rich boy I pegged him as.
And I might not as immune to him as I’ve pretended to be.
*A note about the Runaway Rom Com series: In this swoony new reboot of the Channel 20-something contemporary romance series, follow four best friends as they each find their way in life and find their soulmates, with more than a few bumps and steamy moments along the way! The Runaway Rom Com series is comprised of four interconnected standalones. This book was previously published as Still Me and has significant revisions.

About the author
Tru Taylor
22 books118 followersAward-winning author Tru Taylor writes small town romance that's hot and sunny (and a little bit funny.)
She runs on Coke Zero and dark chocolate, lives for lunches with her girlfriends, and drives to the town beach several times a week to watch the sun set over the water.
She loves LOVE and will attempt to turn any show or movie she's watching into a romance whether it is one or not. Star Wars? A romance. Lord of the Rings? Clearly a romance. The Expendables? Okay, well not even Tru can redeem that one.
When she's not writing, Tru enjoys watching movies and reading books with happy endings, spending time with Mr. Tru and her two kids, and sneaking Hershey's Kisses from the top shelf of the freezer throughout the day. (Top shelf because... two kids. Enough said.)
Tru is the author of the Eastport Bay small town rom com series and loves living in a small New England town where she's surrounded every day by the beautiful coastal setting you see brought to life in her books.

"ALWAYS BE YOURSELF. UNLESS YOU CAN BE A UNICORN. THEN ALWAYS BE A UNICORN."
That's right, always be better unless you can be better.
