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...

The first couple of weeks seemed to be going quite smoothly. Even though Damian had been assigned to work with me, I rarely saw him. I found it easier this way, as I could get more work done. Damian had arranged for Zach to help me with anything I needed. The first week, Zach and I were pretty much glued together. I mostly spent the week learning about all of their products. I also wanted to learn about their current building. I wanted to know what worked for them and what they wished they had. I spent a lot of time talking to everyone that worked there. I always found that the best way to get an accurate answer was to talk to those that actually use the facilities. No one knows best than those that work there. I have found over the years that management tends to have a blind eye to what their staff really need. So I wanted to make sure that wasn't an issue in my design. I wanted it to work perfectly for everyone while also being ahead of its time.
