Him

Roarke Stone is the CEO of a multinational company - Stone Construction Company. Due to a painful experience in the past, he doesn't care about anybody except his daughter, siblings and parents. He wears a frown proudly more than he does a smile.


His Nightmare

Vanessa is an engineer who is more than a pretty face. She looks more like a model and dresses like one. No one would mistake her for someone who spends time on blueprints and construction sites. She balances her work and social life expertly. She believes one shouldn't be judged by one's choice of clothing.

How would these two get along when Vanessa possesses almost everything Roarke detests in a woman?

Would Roarke be willing to let go of the past and embrace a new and adventurous beginning?

P.S: This is the second book in The Stone Brothers series, however, it can be read as standalone.

Vanessa's Allure: Roarke's Nightmare in a Dress

"Did something happen at the Stones" Tori couldn't contain her curiousity any longer. Her friend has been looking lost, a dreamy gaze on her face when she thought she wasn't looking. Something must have happened at Rena and Ryan's place. 


"No!" The sharp response she gave further backed up her guess, something did happen. 


When Nessa realised that her friend didn't believe her, she cleared her throat and reiterated slowly, "no, nothing happened". 


After Serena interrupted her and Roarke once again, Nessa had been thinking about nothing else but the kiss. Her name had to be called twice during the poker game to pull her attention back to the game. 


Roarke on the other hand had not been seen, he had disappeared and didn't show up till she left. 


"Nessa!" Tori's voice eventually penetrated into her thoughts to bring her back to the present.
