The Tycoon’s Pregnant Mistress by Maya Banks
“Who are you?” she asked.
He was a dominating presence. Tall, lithe, dangerously intent as his amber eyes stared back at her. He wasn’t American.
His gaze dropped to the hand she had cupped protectively over her abdomen. “Our baby is fine,” he said. “I am Chrysander Anetakis. Your fiancé.”
She searched his face for the truth, but he looked back at her, calm, no hint of emotion.
He was someone she had been intimate with. Obviously in love with. They were engaged and she was pregnant with his child. Shouldn’t that stir something in her?
“I don’t remember,” she said, her voice cracking.
“You will,” he said, those amber eyes boring into hers.

“You’re living a lie, Logan Claiborne, and I’m one of the few people who knows it. You’re no elegant, refined gentleman. You use your money like a shield to fend off anything that’s real…like me.”
“Do the smart thing for once. Just leave.”
“Or you’ll what?” When she licked her mouth, making her lower lip shine wetly, something that had been wound too tight for nine damn years snapped inside him, unleashing a force he would have denied with every breath in his body.
With a suddenness that startled them both, his hard arms circled her and then crushed her against him. “You shouldn’t have come back here. You shouldn’t have messed with me again.”
“So, you do want me…a little,” she whispered, her musical voice a husky taunt against his throat. “Is that why you’re so afraid of me?”
Yes, she was right. He wanted her naked and writhing underneath him again.

Dear Reader,
The Tycoon’s Pregnant Mistress launches a trilogy about the Anetakis brothers, Chrysander, Theron and Piers. In this story we meet Marley Jameson, who is struggling to remember a past she had with the handsome and enigmatic CEO of Anetakis International, while Chrysander comes to terms with her supposed betrayal.
As much as Chrysander would like to distance himself from the mother of his unborn child, he finds himself inexorably drawn to Marley. How can he love a woman who tried to destroy him? And what happens when she remembers all that she has forgotten?
These questions form the cornerstone of this emotional story about betrayal, love and ultimate forgiveness. I hope you’ll enjoy Marley and Chrysander’s road to happily ever after!

MAYA BANKS has loved romance novels from a very (very) early age and, almost from the start, she dreamed of writing them as well. In her teens, she filled countless notebooks with over-dramatic stories of love and passion. Today her stories are only slightly less dramatic, but no less romantic.
She lives in Texas with her husband and three children and wouldn’t contemplate living anywhere other than the South. When she’s not writing, she’s usually hunting, fishing or playing poker. She loves to hear from readers and she can be found online at either www.mayabanks. com or www.writemindedblog.com, or you can e-mail her at [email protected].
To Marty Matthews and Shara Cooper. That bar conversation at RT 2007 was the first kick in the behind to do something about my long-standing dream of writing for Desire™. I still remember that gush-fest fondly.
To Roberta, for saying, “Let’s do it” when I outlined my career goals in the summer of 2007. Hey, we did it!
To Amy: You of all people know how much I love category and just how excited I was to be given a chance to write it. Thanks for being just as thrilled as I was.
To Dee, who I think wanted this for me as much as I did and was with me every step of the way. Thank you!
And finally to Steph, who started it all for me. Without you, I wouldn’t have written The Tycoon’s Pregnant Mistress and I wouldn’t have submitted. It was that phone call that started everything in motion. I’ll always love you for that.
Chapter One
Pregnant.
Despite the warmth of the summer day, an uncomfortable chill settled over Marley Jameson’s skin as she settled on the bench in the small garden just a few blocks from the apartment she shared with Chrysander Anetakis.
She shivered even as the sun’s rays found her tightly clenched fingers, the heat not yet chasing away the goose bumps. Stavros wouldn’t be happy over her brief disappearance. Neither would Chrysander when Stavros reported that she hadn’t taken proper security measures. But dragging along the imposing guard to her doctor’s appointment hadn’t been an option. Chrysander would have known of her pregnancy before she could even
