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

Roarke watched as Tori and his daughter engaged in a conversation which normally should be between little girls of Ari's age. Glad that she kept her busy to allow him have some time alone with Nessa. 


He signalled to her for a private talk. "I'll be right back, Ari" he called. The only thing which showed she heard him was a quick nod of her head and he led Nessa back to his car. 


"Nessa, I'm not the type who beats around the bush so I'll lay it all out and if it's ok by you, then we're good." 


Nessa nodded, not sure how the conversation will end but for some reasons she was anxious, she wondered why. 


"Okay" giving him the go ahead to continue. 


"Actually, I'm not sure where what we have will lead us, all I'm sure is that we both know we're interested in one another and I'll like us to explore it and see how it goes." He looked into her eyes to guage her reaction, seeing the light pull of the corner of her lips encouraged him to continue.
