Best Maya Banks Book Novels & Stories

The world Maya had married into was ruthless, and emotions often took a backseat to strategy. Later that morning, Maya found herself in the library, staring at the gilded spines of books she had no intention of reading. Reese’s voice startled her. “Hey, you look like you’ve seen a ghost,” Reese said, plopping into the seat beside her. Maya managed a small smile. “It’s just… everything. Helena, Luca, Donovan.

She used to forget Dad's birthday all the time." Mason and I waited withheld breath as Breyona opened the thick safe. An exhale of breath came from Mason’s lips as we locked eyes on the only book sitting in the safe. “One book?” Mason scoffed, shaking out his sandy blonde hair. “An entire safe for one book.” “Like I said, my parents are paranoid.” Breyona shrugged, her hands gentle as she lifted the book into her arms. “Plus, this book is probably priceless.”

She was wearing a black dress and red shoes. It was like she had nothing to do other than work. I remembered that she didn’t have a life, neither did she have a man. At her age, you either had love or career. I almost felt bad that I was planning to ruin the one things she had. Imagine a jobless and man-less Maya Bennett.

As strange as it sounds, I am wary of our situation, but it's so much better than living with my bigoted father who would have probably killed me for he couldn't accept who I am. Fortunately, Ma said that the Alexander guy didn't seem to care who I love and for that, I am willing to give him the benefit of doubt and can't wait to thank him for his kindness. I am eager to attach a face to the deeds. When I woke up in the hospital, Ma filled me in, and I couldn't contain my excitement because of a possible hire. I can finally save enough cash to finish my degree. I have never had an office job before, and I am quite excited about the experience.

TOKYO, JAPAN CHLOE MAE BERSALES was wanted! Indeed. She'd been wanted in a good and bad way—from her enraged father to being a billion-dollar Baby Mama of an innocent soul that she would meet nine months from now. The page of her book went beyond extraordinary when the billionaire CEO of Greyson Stockholdings disclosed an offer she could not resist. Well, that was two months ago and in baby steps, she learned to play along in the cycle. An unexpected yet interesting progression in her old mundane life.

Thank you so much for reading my first ever book, I leave you with the first chapter from Rise of a Queen - book 2 for your enjoyment. RISE OF A QUEEN - BOOK 2 Chapter 1 – A New Kingdom.

I tell him. Flavius nods in response and begins to pack his things. I fill my satchel with various clothing items and few books. "Why are you packing books?" Flavius asks curiously. "Since we are visiting another horde without sending a messenger ahead, I need to bring something that will serve as a gift. Those of the Horde of Fates are known knowledge seekers. I have many books in my private collection that have not been seen since The Fires. They should serve as a suitable present," I say.

“Maya.” “The tension.” “Maya.” “The unresolved romantic feelings.” Bella grabbed a nearby book and threw it at her. Maya dodged it. Barely. “I regret nothing.” The room exploded into laughter. Even Bella. Even me. A few minutes later, Maya disappeared into the break room and returned carrying instant noodles. Nobody questioned it. Again. “How are you finding all this food?” Bella asked. Maya looked offended. “I have connections.” “You work in a bookstore.” “I have bookstore connections.”

She told herself that again shelving books at the library that evening while the rest of campus was somewhere loud doing something that had nothing to do with Economics. "You should come out," said Bisi from the other side of the shelf. Bisi was warm and relentless and had absolutely no system, which Maya found baffling and secretly fascinating. "I am working." "We finish at eight." "I am reading." "Maya. It is Friday." "You said that." "You did not react to it the first time." Bisi leaned around the shelf. "Is there someone you are avoiding? Or someone you are not avoiding and that is the whole problem."

"Should I take the expressway or go through the financial district?" "The expressway," I replied, my voice sounding tight even to my own ears. "Let's get this over with." "Yes, sir." Marcus adjusted the wheel, turning the heavy car onto the ramp. My mind kept drifting back to the penthouse. To the kitchen counter. To the way Maya had looked at me when she asked if I was going to buy her off. She had looked small standing against that massive marble island, but her eyes had been entirely fierce.
