It does sound familiar. Have you tried fictiondb.com. You can use the search feature of juts browse all the HP's to see if you can find it that way. You may want to look at Charlotte Lamb, Penny Jordan and Sara Carven books first.

I will check those authors out. Thank you.

Will do. Read this so many years ago. Remember I wasn't fussy about the story when I originally read it but thinking about it , it was actually pretty good, That's why I would like to reread it. Trying to find it by identifying the book cover. Hoping one will ring a bell. Unfortunately harlequin will reprint some older books with new covers. I'll keep searching.

Angy  (goodreadscomuser_angy) | 36 comments Hi, I am looking for a book where h’s mom is H’s dad’s mistress. When they were young, h fell for H but he despised her because of her mom. Then during college they get together because H doesn’t recognise h . And when he comes to know that its h, he breaks her heart. Years later h comes to H and blackmails him into marrying him because her mom is dying and her last wish is to see h and H get married. So she blackmails H with family jewels that her mom possessed which belonged to H’s family.

Adrienne | 8 comments Looking for a Harlequin category romance.

Here are the things I remember about the book I'm looking for...
1. Harlequin category romance. 100% positive this is not a Presents. I believe it is a Kiss or Romance category.

2. Hero & heroine are in a wedding. I think it might be one of their siblings getting married(or possibly their siblings are getting married to each other). I'm almost positive the groom is the Hero's brother.

3. Hero is rich business man who is always working. I remember he was texting during the ceremony. He had the phone down by his leg and was texting with one hand so no one notices. Heroine noticed and when the ceremony was over and they were walking back down aisle together she stole his cell phone out of his pocket.

4. H & h sleep together that night and h gets pregnant.

5. H does not want to be a father and I think (not positive) offers to pay for an abortion. I remember they were in a car when this conversation takes place (limo or taxi, don't remember) and heroine gets out and vomits on the sidewalk.

6. heroine wants the baby. I remember she doesn't have alot of money and she lives in a walk up apartment. I believe she works a couple of part time jobs. One may be teaching dancing at a community center & I think the other is a barista.

7. heroine ends up having a miscarriage later in the book.

Any ideas on title/author?

sounds a bit like Smoke in the Wind but in that one Hero has son with the h not the cousin he married. Another possibility is The Child of Judas.

message 5469: by Alloe (new)

Alloe | 14 comments Hi everyone!

I'm trying to recall a Harlequin book, it might have been an older Presents.

I remember some things (which could be wrong):

the H and h have one-night stand/affair. H has a fiancée and i think the h finds out and doesn't stop seeing him even though she feels guilty.

the h finds out that she's pregnant and she hides the pregnancy from him. she might have distanced herself from him because of that.

the H only finds out that h is pregnant when h has a miscarriage or just has a scare with the baby.

I think that the h might have also owned a bookshop or a shop of some kind which is where they met.

thanks! :)

This sounds like a Lynne Graham. Or several Lynne Graham's. Three possibilities.

Expectant Bride. Heroine wants to buy a bookstore in this one.

The Petrakos Bride

A Ring to Secure His Heir

message 5472: by Ema (new)

Ema | 1 comments Hello... Please help me find this Harlequin book....
The H is married to the h. He is a friend of heroine's elder sister who's dead. He married the h after her sister's death and went away his uncle's place( different country) from where he returns after establishing a successful business. The story starts with h going to H's office to ask for divorce and she make's up a story that she's in a relationship with a coworker where she teaches. I also remember a distinct scene where the heroine is going to office in her free time and gets almost killed by teenager with a gun but she disarms him when he's distracted. Also she's taught students in difficult areas.

message 5474: by reeder (reviews) (new)

reeder (reviews) | 103 comments @Adrienne - are you sure? I read His Brand of Passion after RomLibrary posted the suggestion, and it matched your description exactly. It seems really unlikely all of those elements (the phone at the wedding, the ONS pregnancy, his offering to pay for an abortion, her miscarriage) would be in two different category romances.

My 2 cents worth - the only HP I've read where the h steals the H's phone. One of my fave book trios from KH. I would swear same book, unless there's a twin book out there somewhere. BTW - it is a Mills & Boon Modern is Australia, not Presents.

message 5478: by Poorvi (last edited Aug 12, 2021 06:35AM) (new)

Poorvi | 302 comments Hi all,
I'm going crazy trying find these two books. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

1) This one is part of a trilogy. The hero and heroine meet when they were younger and the hero was working for the heroine's boss in a very entry level capacity (I don't remember what). The heroine's father is a cruel horrible man who is abusive towards his daughters but in public he pretends to be a protective doting father and bullies his daughters to give the same impression. The hero and heroine have a mutual attraction going on but the very first time they try to meet, they get caught and the heroine, being scared of her father, blames the hero, which gets him fired. Many years later when they meet again, the hero is now wealthy and the heroine having escaped her fathers clutches with her sister, is poor and scrambling to get some money together to pay for her sister's rehab (she's an addict courtesy of the father). The hero offers to pay her a huge amount of money to pose / be his mistress for a specific amount of time because reasons and also for revenge. The other 2 books in the trilogy featured the heroine's sister and their long-lost half brother.

2) The second book and the one that's making me the most crazy is.. I don't remember too many details, just two scenes. One is that the heroine works for a museum in some capacity and she dresses up in costumes of different historical figures like Joan of Arc etc to conduct guided tours through the museum. And the other is that The hero meets her ex (who is a manipulative creep) for some reason and afterwards sends her a memory zapper from Men-in-Black toy, as a cute way of saying that the ex is a jerk and she should just erase him from her memory.

ETA: The second book I'm looking for is not a part of the same trilogy as the first.

[SOLVED]

I am not sure about the second book you mentioned, but the first book might be from Forgiven But Not Forgotten? It is the 2nd book in a trio of books by Abby Green the first 1 is called The Legend of de Marco and the last one is Fonseca's Fury

ANA | 64 comments Here’s another old school but I’ve been racking my brains over: H and h are both writers. They meet at a talk show where he teases her. They go to a party where he wears an orange leisure suit. She finds him making out somewhere with a married woman. H doesn’t own up— he acts as if she is the one who has a problem and blowing things out of proportion. She leaves him. A year later, she writes him to let him know she had his baby.

Bee Mills (beemills) | 50 comments I'm looking for the HP where the h is a sort of indentured servant to the H's grandmother. When the gran dies, the h locks down the accounts of her business and holds them to ransom - she wants her freedom and some money and (I think) for the H to take her to Paris and help her break into modeling.

If memory serves, the H never met the h before the gran dies, and actually thought she was the old lady's AI assistant.

message 5496: by Zubee (new)

Zubee | 52 comments I'm looking for a book ... I believe it's an older HP ... though not that old

H and h meet when he is in his 30's and she's 19 or so
they are together for a week and then he tells her he is going away and it's finished between them
she is pregnant and I think maybe standing on a bridge thinking of how she's going to support herself as she is not that educated and has no money
a man helps her and in return she marries him ... he has teenaged kids
her baby is a boy who is a little genius
H and h reconnect after her husband is dead and I think H comes to her place with her step daughter ... maybe she is involved with his stepson or so ...
also H is married when he meets h ... he had a business based marriage with his wife who was sick and he's the custodian of her company and her son's inheritance
the first time they meet little boy tells the H that his chess set in his car is messed up and H realizes that his son is a genius with a high IQ like the H
h I think is running some kind of shop
also H actually comes looking for h


message 5497: by Zubee (new)

Zubee | 52 comments Another one I'm looking for; I'm not sure if this was a HP or no but the story reads as HP ...
H and h have known each other for many years
H is Greek while h's grandfather or maybe guardian is Greek
her name is Carrie O'Riordan and I believe H's name is maybe Alex or so
H tells h they are getting married ... and that everyone in their families know they will marry ..
h resists .. mainly because they have always fought like cats and dogs
but they do get engaged and spend some time on a yacht getting to know each other
one other detail I remember; the first time they make love is in his study maybe .. on a rug which has all kinds of birds printed on it
and they joke that she has the birds of paradise plastered on bet backside now ....

That's the one I was thinking about. It's been a long time since I read it, but I can't remember if the SOB H suggested going to a counselor. I know they had 3 little girls. I think she just found out she was pregnant and was going to tell him, but he dropped the bombshell. She and the girls were going to a lake to meet several friends.
