My Secret Identity

[Arch]

Have you read a book where the hero wore two hats?

You know a Bruce/Batman. No, the hero is not a superhero, but he does have a secret identity.

Business man by day, killer by night.

Say the heroine is a reporter and she meets John Doe and later finds out that he's also Paul Doe. The man she has been doing a story on, but never seen him before.

The heroine can be in any field. I just used reporter, because in movies, it's most likely she'll be a reporter.

I read a book last year where the hero is a hotel owner who likes to visit his hotels under an assumed name to check how things are going and the heroine was an heiress who wanted to get away to be a "normal" person for a few days. Can't remember the title right off, but it's what just popped into my head.

That's what I am talking about. Secret Identity.

I know, but I can't remember the title or author LOL!

Good theme. I'll see what I can find.

I did like the Cait Logan story in this book. Outlaw Love - Brenda Joyce Anthology. She was a masked bandit, and the hero was pretending to be nerd to get catch her. He ends up seducing into marriage. My favorite story in this book.

It's not The Bikini Diaries is it?

The hero pretends to be a nerd? :(

I like when they are truly nerds. :)

[Debbie]

I like it when they are really nerds too.

I prefer real nerds, but it was really cute how he insinuated his way into her life. She wouldn't have let him get anywhere near her if he was himself. But she wasn't intimidated by his nerdy persona.

[Arch]

Well, the hero stole the heroine's heart, right Danielle?

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Loves 'Em Lethal]

He certainly did. It's a really cute story.

I just finished After the Kiss, and the hero, Sullivan Waring was a well respected horse trainer AND thief! Burglarized homes at night stealing paintings and by day trained and sold horses to the ton.

Wow, the hero had his job cut out for himself.

Definitely!

There's a book by Kat Martin where a detective/inspector masquarades as a groom to the h (the title is something like Playing with Fire or Fanning the Flame?), or The Pretender by Celeste Bradley, where the H pretends to be a chimneysweep to investigate (he's a spy) the h's brother. The Impostor, also by Bradley is also a question of secret identities (both the H and the h)..

It's a pretty recurrent theme though! I expect so that when the h (or, rarely, the H) finds out, it's a big blow-out/obstacle to the HEA :-) I do enjoy the theme though! lol

I recently read Dangerous Lies by Anna Louise Lucia and the hero in a courier of some sort pretending to be a businessman. The heroine is kidnapped because of him and when she finally learns the truth... Well, it's not pretty :)

Hey, Pamela. I bought that book. Is it good?

I liked it a lot. Do u have Run Among Thorns also? It takes place before Dangerous Lies and is about the sister. The stories are not connected though. Just characters.

Thankfully I bought both. Thanks for the info. Hugs!
