Damian is a well-known player until he meets Haley. 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 law 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. ******************************** The Hunted Series: Book 1- The Mark Book 2- Hunter's Revenge Book 3- The Huntress ********************************

1. New York

... Haley POV......Saturday Night...The bus was virtually empty; however, unexpectedly, I felt a presence next to me, to see a man sitting in the seat beside me. A sense of calm washed over me from his proximity. I turned around to see that virtually every row was still available, which made me wonder why he decided to sit next to me. I felt him shift closer, making my mind swirl. I was nervous, but I felt an inner calm at the same time. It was hard to explain. I’ve never felt this feeling before. Never once has a person’s proximity made me feel calm. Not only that, but it just made me want to be closer to him. I was just unsure how to make that happen without looking like a complete idiot.I wondered if he felt the same towards me. I stole a glance at him and felt my mind stop from the sheer presence of him. He was absolutely stunning. Wavy curly black hair, a chiselled jawline, deep green eyes. It was enough to make my panties wet. I looked away, attempting to keep my attention ...

2. Jessica
I hadn’t realized I had been crying when the man raised my head to look at me. I watched as his hand reached up to wipe the tears that had begun to spill from my eyes.“Shh. It’s alright. It won’t hurt you.” The man coaxed.I wiped the remaining tears from my eyes and sat up in an attempt to distance myself from the man. I don’t know what it is about this man, but he had me melting in his lap. His voice was luxurious. Full of sophistication and seduction. This man had the power to make me come undone with nothing more than a glance in my direction.I needed to distance myself from him before I did something stupid.The bus began to move once more. So I grabbed a Kleenex from my pocket and wiped the remaining tears from my eyes. “Thanks." I said before turning away to look out the window. I needed to look anywhere but at the man. I knew that if I continued looking at him, I would never be able to look away.Neither of us said anything for the remaining duration of our trip. Once the b

3. Trouble Maker
…Damian POV…...Friday Night...Ever since I started working for my brother, money has never been an issue. Most people don’t drive if you live in New York due to the extreme congestion. It can take hours just to get to the other side of the city. Even though I don't drive that often, I still had a few cars along with a driving service. I most commonly had one of my drivers take me where I needed to go so that way I could be productive. I would check emails and get ready for the day, all while heading to work. The other bonus of my driving service meant that I wasn't responsible for taking my hookups back to their house. I would simply call up one of my drivers, and they would pick them up, no questions asked.Once I'd gotten back into town, I'd gone straight to the bar. I was meant to meet with one of our clients but had hoped to be able to pick someone up as well. I needed to get that girl from the bus out of my mind. I was a bachelor by nature, so I had no ambition of being tied t

4. Indiscretions
I laughed my head off as I saw Bill run out of the bar behind me. His fist balled at his side in anger. Bill was pissed, but I couldn't care less. He may think he has one over me, but I know my brother. After my father ran out on us, my brother took his place. We were there for each other when the world decided it wanted to be against us. My brother has always tried his best to protect me. So I knew there was nothing Bill could do to stop me. Especially not now with the expansion taking place.Stone Enterprises just signed an agreement in Europe. It was the deal of a lifetime. Stone Enterprises would now be an international conglomerate, which meant that my brother's focus wasn't on my minor indiscretions. Rather his focus was split on creating new tech and organizing the new offices in Europe. He had even contracted this high-end Architect to help us design the buildings. He had found one in Europe, as he wanted to make sure all the buildings were up to building code in every locatio

5. Fate
...Saturday... My alarm went off at 6 am- the same time I have it set every day of the week. I wanted to get in a quick workout before I had to work. Since I was working from home, I was able to have a slightly longer workout. So I decided to go for a run since I didn't have to be in the office. I was halfway into my run when my Earpods signalled that I was getting a call.I double tapped the right headphone to answer the call."Damian Stone." I said professionally into the speaker, not knowing who had called me."Dame. I need you to go to a meeting on my behalf." Zane said."Zane? What's up, bro? Why can't you go yourself?" I asked my brother."I'm still in England right now, and one of our clients is having a fit. I need you to go there and smooth everything over with them.""Who? And what's wrong?" I ask."Benjamin Fonacali. He seems to be under the impression that he's been hacked." My brother began. From his

6. Temptress
...Haley POV...I've been in New York for a week now. Jess has been amazing at making me feel at home. I spent the first-day unpacking; then she brought me to her favourite restaurant. It was really cool. It didn't have a pre-set menu like most restaurants. Instead, the chef would surprise you with their creations. You could let them know some things that you didn't like. But other than that, you'd be sitting on the edge of your seat desperately wanting to know what they'd be giving you to eat. So I absolutely fell in love with this restaurant. Since Jess and I are adventurous eaters, this was literally the restaurant of our dreams.On Monday, we went shopping. Even though I didn't need a lot, Jess managed to talk me into getting quite a lot. Our cab was filled to the brim with all of our purchases. Jess and I then spent the next few days finding a place for me to stay. It took a while, but finally, I found this remarkable place. It was a condo, opposed to an apartment which was what

7. The Challenge
...Damian POV...It's been nearly two weeks since I last saw Zane. He had been working on the acquisition in Europe and had been spending a lot of his time there. He was planning to be back here later today. He had caught an earlier flight and had wanted to meet me at one of the clubs tonight. I didn't mind, as I'd already agreed to meet with him at the club anyways. He was going to give me an update about the woman that had broken into my garage and smashed my cars. I was more curious about how she managed to locate where I lived more than anything else. I made sure when I bought my place that no one could associate it with me. I needed to make sure that people couldn't find me. I had created a fake alias that I use in cases such as this one. Since Zach was the one that finalized all the agreements, not even the real-estate agent knew who was actually purchasing the property. I guess, in a way, I took some pointers from Walt Disney. Because of my secrecy, I found myself curious as t

8. Rules
"Right. Well, we've come up with a total of eight rules, that you will have to abide by in order to accomplish this challenge." Zane explains."Rule 1: You by no means are to disclose the details of this challenge with the person we deem fit.""Rule 2: You must remain with the person for a minimum of six months. Longer would be preferred.""Rule 3: There is to be no philandering of any kind throughout the duration of the challenge. You are to remain monogamous at all times.""Rule 4: You must work on maintaining the relationship.""Rule 5: You must also put in the effort to keep the relationship.""Wait.. hold on. What is the difference between rule four and five?" I ask."Rule four is mostly referring to you being able to build the relationship. Getting to know her, surprising her, making her happy, etc. Whereas rule five is more about ensuring the relationship lasts. So, listening to her. Being there for her. Holding her when she's upset. Celebrating in her wins and achievements. Bu

9. Heartbreaker
"So what was that?" Jess asks, walking towards me.I look to see her standing in front of me with her arms crossed. Liam had also disappeared. "What was what?" I ask, sheepishly.Jess just rolls her eyes at me."Do you even know who that was?" She asks, skipping over her original question."No. Was I supposed to?" I ask, genuinely wondering."That was THE Damian Stone!" She says, as if I'm stupid for not knowing this.I look at her with a blank expression on my face. Wondering what the big deal is. I've never heard of him. Is it an American thing? Perhaps Jess only knows because she's been in the States for a year now. When she sees that I have no intention of responding, she face palms the explains who Damian is."You out of all people should know who the guy is. Afterall, he only happens to be your boss.""What? No, actually Michael Hall is my boss. Stone Enterprise is my client. Plus, I've only dealt with Zane Stone. No one mentioned this Damian guy." I say, backing myself up. Jus

10. First Impressions
The weekend passed quickly, and soon I was getting ready for my first day at work at Stone Enterprises. There was so much that I needed to go over. I was basically starting with nothing. The only requirement that they had given us for this job was to include their technology within the design. It was going to be a challenge, but one that I was excited to begin. I would need to spend time with Zane in order to understand their technology better. Once I had a better idea, I would be better able to include it in the designs. Until I understood more about their products, I wouldn't even be able to begin to draw out a design.I was excited for this new venture. It would do wonders for my career. I had often dreamed of owning my own company, and if this went well, I might even have that chance to do so. I showered quickly, then got changed. I decided to wear a skin-tight black skirt with a bright red chiffon long-sleeved blouse. I added a matching pair of Louis Vuitton black heels. I thoug
