What The Contaxis Baby is about
Sebasten Contaxis is a 29-year-old Greek electronics billionaire with a reputation for treating women as decoration. Lizzie Denton is a 22-year-old socialite, dismissed as spoiled and wrongly branded a heartbreaker. When Sebasten decides she deserves a lesson, he plots a revenge all his own, and the plan does not stay simple for long. A pregnancy soon changes what each of them wants, and what they owe one another. This 2002 romance from Lynne Graham plays with misjudged reputations, the pull between two people who think they know each other, and the surprise of an unplanned baby. It suits readers who enjoy a glamorous, high-stakes love story with a rich hero and a heroine who is more than her label.
