Las Vegas, Nevada and St. Petersburg, Russia – Present Day

Anna Rostoff was executive assistant to Nikos Stavrikis, and she loved her job. But she also loved Nikos. She knew he would never settle down to one woman, but when he came to her one night, she couldn't resist him. Now, months later, she and their four-month-old baby, Misha, are hiding in her grandmother's decrepit old palace, deep in a Russian forest. But now, Nikos has found her. She stole his son away and he's here to claim him. All of Anna's fears come crashing down around her. Nikos wants his son. He does not want Anna.

When she worked for Nikos, Anna thought she had found the love of her life. But from the moment she announced her pregnancy, he changed. He kept her trapped in his opulent Las Vegas mansion and then hired a new, younger secretary to work with him and warm his bed. During her pregnancy, Anna was suddenly the source of all his anger. After her son was born, and unable to bear the isolation or Nikos's cold indifference, Anna ran away, taking their son with her. Now she's back in Las Vegas and she wants custody of Misha, but she knows that Nikos will never let her take his son away, so she tries to find a way to defeat him. But how? Maybe she should contact her old employer, Victor Sinistyn. Victor is the only man rich enough to compete with the amount of muscle and money that Nikos will use to fight her. But Nikos hates Victor, and he will never allow Anna to see the man, let alone speak to him.

Nikos and Anna both love their son. Anna wants to raise little Misha by herself and provide him with a safe and secure life. Nikos wants the same, but he doesn't know how to provide the love and warmth that Anna wants from him. He's not even sure whether or not he loves Anna, all he knows is that he doesn't want his son to suffer the same way he did when he was a child. Nikos will give Misha everything he can, but first he must come to terms with his feelings for Anna.

A tug of war with young Misha in the center becomes THE GREEK BILLIONAIRE'S BABY REVENGE, as Nikos takes on a battle of wills with Anna. Mrs. Burbridge is the nanny Nikos has hired to care for Misha, although Anna sees no need of the woman when she is perfectly able to provide for the needs of her infant son. Other characters, Anna's sister Natalie; Nikos's sexy new secretary, Lindsey; and his enemy, Victor Sinistyn, make up some of the players in this passionate love story. From the heat of the desert, to the snowy wilderness of Russia, debut author, Jennie Lucas brings us a top-notch novel of passionate desire and emotion.
