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.

Nessa's eyes widened when she felt his thigh against one of hers. She jerked her leg away from his, adjusting her position to lean closer to Ronald without raising suspicion, she kept nodding her head to what Ronald was saying even though she wasn't listening any longer. 


She tried not to look at Roarke who concentrated on his food like nothing happened. 


She took a sip of water just as she was finishing it and returning the glass on the table, she felt Roarke's hand on her lap, out of surprise by what he was about to do, she slammed the glass on the table. 


All conversation stopped suddenly to look at her, "is everything ok, dear?" Roarke's mother spoke, beating everybody to it. 


Embarrassed, she quickly nodded, "yes, sorry for the abrupt sound, the glass slipped off my hand" she explained. 


All the while, Roarke didn't glance at her, she glared at him and said under her breath, 'pervert' which she knew he heard.
