Nine years ago, Layla Warren gave up her scholarship and worked herself to the bone so her boyfriend, Liam, could finish college. She saved every penny for their dream wedding, believing their sacrifices would finally pay off. Then she walked into his office and found him tangled up with Grace, his subordinate, while he mocked Layla as an uneducated working girl who was never worthy of him. Layla did not beg. She did not cry. She made one call to Rex Valentine, the powerful owner of Valentine Jewelers, and accepted his proposal on one condition: he had to give her a wedding worthy of her comeback. When Liam and his pregnant mistress show up to humiliate her, they are about to learn that the woman they looked down on was never a joke. She was the real jewel all along.
