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?

40. City of Love

"Are we seriously in France right now?" I asked, stunned.

"Paris, to be precise."

"But.. what.. how.. who.. why?" Questions and objections began to fill my mind.

"I wanted a romantic getaway with you where it would be just the two of us. Nothing to do with work or trials. Rather a weekend where we could pretend as though our lives were simple and truly relax."

"That's so sweet." I cooed, turning to face him.

I leaned over in my seat and placed a kiss on his cheek. Damian smiled in response, then got out of the car. He walked over to my side, then put his hand out to help me out of the car.

I continued to look around, completely stunned. It felt so surreal to be here as if I was in a dream and would wake up to find that none of this was actually real.

"Wait.. is this actually.." I began, cutting myself off.

"The Shangri-la Hotel." Damian finished.
