I have wanted to read this book again for many years.
I'm looking for a book I read sometime around 95 (?).
I do not remember much but take a chance and see if anyone recognizes?
Medieval / fantasy (?)
If I remember correctly, it starts with her being sold to pay off a debt.
I think the debt belonged to her father, stepfather or uncle (?) With whom she was forced to live.
The man who owns the debt is out on a travel (on horseback) with his brothers. I think they are going home from somewhere)(?)
She is delivered rolled up in a rug, rolled out inside their tent and the eldest brother is offered to her as compensation for the debt.
He is already married but one of the younger brothers gets her instead.
I have a memotie of her trying to escape by cutting off the girth on his horse's saddle, but can I confuse that with another book?


1. Stepmother and step sister where they have to get married and those is something in it where heroine says she would love a man even if he gave her a curtain ring as a ring and hero gives her a curtain ring.
2. One where hero demands baby from heroine says she has to get pregnant by him, I think they are married but hero was tricked into thinking she had slept with other man, in a car also because of the hero's cousin,at the end the hero confronts the denial cousin in front of the family.

I don't know the first one, but this sounds like The Cozakis Bride by Lynne Graham.

Castelli's Virgin Widow Step Mother / Step Son
No Longer Forbidden? step brother
The Greek's Acquisition step brother

Heroine is working for a textile company (something to do with wool?), Hero is South American and owns wool farms (?). Somehow he thinks ill of her and makes her work hard under poor conditions with the farmers. Then, he brings her to a cottage in the mountains, they are alone, he makes advances, she runs out on him into the snow, she almost freezes to death but he rescues her. She is in the hospital, there is some grovel and HEA.
Thanks!

It sounds like The Savage Aristocrat by Roberta Leigh.


Looking for a Harlequin book. Not cheating per se but the h is made to believe the H is cheating. This one the h gets pregnant and the H takes off when she gets pregnant to work. The excuse he uses is that he doesnt want to be around her while she is pregnant because he would not be able to control himself around her and he doesnt want to be rough with her when having sex. She ends up having a miscarriage. I think when he comes home he brings a business associate, OW. I know the book starts with her in a luxurious home and the servants are prepping for him to get home and they set her clothes and stuff out for her and tell her she needs to make herself pretty for her husband. Pretty sure the OW invites herself to stay and the h wakes up to go and find the H because he has his own room and the OW is coming out of this room and makes a comment that alludes she was just with the H.

I'm looking for two books.
1. The heroine works for the hero and is going on vacation to some island. The hero practically hijacks her vacation and makes her pretend she's engaged to fool some friends who are also going to be present at the same vacation spot. Except the hero is some high profile person, and when the news of the engagement leaks to the media, they end up having to get married for real.
2. Is also a marriage of convenience story. In this one the heroine agrees to an MOC under a no sex stipulation. She finds out on the honeymoon that this will not be so (I can't remember too clearly but the hero wasn't up front about this. Either they both misunderstood, or he used some clever word play to let the heroine make her own assumptions)
There's a scene at the end where the hero's colleagues come to dinner at their home and the heroine dumps an entire pot of cream on the OW.

1. is Amanda Browning's Something from the Heart

Try The Greek's Nine-Month Redemption. H is Elle St. James and her step-brother (h) is Apollo, he dislikes her and her family and is taking over her father's company and therefore her company as well.

The book that comes to mind is Velvet Angel

I want that book!

OH. MY. GOD!!!! I have got to read this... ;D

The Outlaw's Wife by Cindy Gerard

Thank you boogenhagen! That is the one. (Glancing through it I think she wrote "I want a divorce" not cheater on his forehead.) I must read the rest of the series.

things i remember:
1. heroine follows hero where he is on some assignment with other agents.
2. heroine volunteers to be part of their assignment - she would be a honey-trap.
3. instead hero 'buys' her

Yay. Thanks Boogenhagen!

1.I am looking for a HP where hero is heroine's boss, heroine suddenly finds herself guardian of her cousin's child so when she decides to quit hero offers to marry her so that they can win the custody battle, she comes from old money i guess, while he comes from a poor family, he never talks to his fam but helps them anonymously through scholarships and all.
I remember a scene where he makes banana waffles( or is it pancakes 🤔) , also a final confrontation between the heroine and her old money snob family.
2. h is a single mother, who hates her grandfather but agress to enter a MOC with the hero, coz dear grandpa blackmails, H is attracted towards her, but h is afraid of intimacy, she has some physical issues, hero helps her with it, (they use vaginal dilator i think).
Any guesses?

#2 is Blackmailed into Marriage by Lucy Monroe. The h suffers from vaginismus as I recall. One of my favorite HP.

Yesss thats it, Thankyouuuu :'D

I'd really appreciate the name of this book.

A sheikh
or a prince brings a chef he dated from the states to his desert kingdom for his wedding feast and he keeps her there despite his fiancee being there. The fiancee is very demanding and keeps changing the menu and stuff and is very fussy. I'd really appreciate the name of this book. Thanks in advance.
Also, The sheikhs mother opposes the chefs presence there since she's not an appropriate bride.

The rich hero bumps into the heroine he had a one night stand with four years ago. He discovers she has a four year old son (his), her parents are dead and she is working hard to earn a living. He insists on marrying her and taken them to his ranch where his mother is lukewarm. There is also a housekeeper who eventually warms to the heroine, a mean girlfriend and a visiting artist. Everyone loves the son and the heroine consider leaving him with the father and going away. Eventually of course all ends well.
It’s a lovely sweet story. I’d be ever so grateful if someone could help me find the book... it’s either H or MB!!! Thank you so much

Sounds like Robyn Donald's Bride at Whangatapu

Guy owns a little restaurant. There is a waitress with red curly hair that lives outside of town in a trailer. He lives behind his restaurant. His cook is a Spanish lady who is cranky most of the time. The cook eventually takes over the restaurant. The waitress has her own hives of bees in her back yard. She has a sister who shows up and brings a LOT of trouble with her. Dead body, stolen money trouble. He (if I remember right) lost his wife to cancer. She (the waitress) use to be a doctor. Had breast cancer.
Does this sounds familiar to anyone?! I read it before I lost my sight and I’d love to see if I could find it in an accessible format.
I want to say a woman with curly red hair with possibly a mans arms around her waist while they stand if front of her place (not sure) is what’s on the book cover
Thank you for any and all help with this!

Oh my god! You are absolutely right! Thanks so very much. This book has been churning in my mind forever. You are an absolute star!

Book 1 is The Tycoon's Temporary Baby by Emily McKay - it's a Desire title, not Presents

Additionally,
The hero might be Greek and the heroine might be pregnant, but my friend is not too sure about those two details.

This could be The Greek's Christmas Baby

I am trying to find a book. It's a Harlequin Historical romance where the heroine's brother is sneaking out of the hero's fiancée's bedroom, but the hero sees him and decides to take revenge by going to his home and courting his sister. The sister/heroine (Annabelle, I think, not sure!) is in love with her best friend, but the bf is in love with their other friend. The hero decides to help the heroine make the bf jealous and in doing so, get his revenge on the brother by letting him think he's upto no good. Eventually, the hero and heroine fall in love. I can't remember the hero's name, but the bf is called Harry, I think. can't find it anywhere. Makes me wonder if I am remembering it all wrong
Thanks for the help :)

Are you sure it's a Harlequin Historical? The plot you're describing sounds a lot like Julie Anne Long's What I Did for a Duke.
