Calico Hearts: A Sweet Billionaire Second Chance Romance

Book 2: Old Town Braverton

by Roxie Clarke

Synopsis

On the day Layla Franklin is promoted to manager of the Pinwheel Plant Shop, she discovers her first business meeting will be with her billionaire ex-boyfriend, ceramicist Bradley Marconi.

Five years prior, when Layla had to drop out of art school to support her disabled mom and her younger brother, Bradley broke off their relationship and broke her heart by saying they came from different worlds.

Layla doesn't mind helping everyone in her life, really, she thrives on being useful. She'll even help Bradley make sense of the debacle the Wavelength Pottery P & L statements have become. But she wants compensation for her time and reassurance from Bradley he is learning to manage his business himself and working toward being his own man.

When Bradley's overbearing mother demands he attend a dinner party at the family residence and that he brings a date, Layla insists that date be her. Not only does she want to encourage Bradley to stand up to his manipulative family, but Layla wants to prove to them she's found her own definition of success.

Inspired by the dinner party date and remembering what they loved about one another, Layla and Bradley give their relationship another try. 

Everything is going well, until one night when the past and present collide, leaving Layla with little hope for their future and Bradley doubting they were ever meant to be.
