The Mark Book 1

What happens when the player becomes the played? Damian is a well-known player until he meets Haley Cunningham. Haley captures his eye; however, unlike the rest of his conquests, she doesn’t seem to be the least bit interested. It throws him off. However, it also makes it more exciting. Haley becomes his mark. He’s willing to do anything and everything to spend one night with her, even if that means putting aside his playboy ways. After a recent acquisition, Stone Enterprises is set for the expansion of the century. The only thing delaying the expansion is Damian Stone, the younger brother of owner Zane Stone. Zane spends most of his time in Europe to begin work on the new company. The only problem is that Damian’s playboy ways are standing in the way of taking over Zane’s role. Stone Enterprises is a prestigious tech firm with a strong reputation. This means that Damian must choose between a quick lay and a first-time relationship to keep its reputation. Will he succeed? Or will the company risk being placed in the hands of its enemies? Damian is hell-bent on keeping up his bachelor lifestyle until Zane presents him with the offer of a lifetime. Zane will gift his younger brother the company if he can succeed in dating one girl. Sounds easy? Perhaps not. Zane knows his brother too well and decides to make a few rules that Damian must agree to in order for him to take ownership. Damian must stay in a relationship with the girl for at least seven months. Damian can not see any other girl. That even includes the “quick lay” that Damian has grown accustomed to. Not only that, but Zane also gets to pick the girl as well. Will Damian succeed? Or is he doomed to fail?

...Haley POV...

It's been one year since I last saw Damian. Seeing him now is a bittersweet moment. From the moment I saw him and the look of belonging in his eyes, I wanted to run and jump into his arms. But I couldn't wait for so many reasons. The first was that when I saw him look at me, it reminded me of the last time we were together. Of how I caught him sleeping with another woman in our bed just hours after I'd been assaulted. That ache was like nothing else. No one truly understood how powerful a heartbreak could truly be until they've lost the love of their lives. After I fled New York, I went to California. Since it was on the other side of the states, I knew Damian wouldn't even think of looking for me there. I figured he would just assume that I went back to London.
