What His Money Can't Hide

Layla is working as a waitress at her brother's small-town cafe when she meets a customer who doesn't quite fit in with the worn-down, rural atmosphere. He's Drake Ashton, one of the UK's most preeminent architects, and he's returned to his hometown to help redevelop it. Good-looking and successful, Drake is decidedly not Layla's type... When she was working in London, she was betrayed by another handsome, wealthy man who left her penniless. Drake is trying hard to sweep her off her feet, but Layla is cautious-she doesn't want to get hurt again. Yet somehow, before she realizes it, she's agreeing to go out to dinner with him...
