Wow Paola, you're good! Upon the Storm is the book! I've wondered about the name for far too many years. Thank you so much for giving me peace of mind. ;-)

I don't have a specific idea, but it may be one of the books in this thread?: H marries heroine due to business deal/blackmail/etc

This doesn't sound like an HP (Harlequin Presents). Was it from one of the other Harlequin lines?

Are you sure it was NY and not Boston? Those names and the story line sound like Shannon Stacey‘s Boston Fire Series. That series is from Carina Press, which is part of Harlequin.


message 5614: by Edin (new)

Edin | 13 comments Kristi, It could’ve been set in Boston. I’ll have to check out the book you suggested thank you for all your help.


Kristi (foxtail_too) (foxtail_too) | 3 comments Edin wrote: "Kristi, It could’ve been set in Boston. I’ll have to check out the book you suggested thank you for all your help."

It's a 6 book series. I quite enjoyed them. The first book is Heat Exchange.

But now I look at the plots, I don't see one like you are looking for, yet I know the names are familiar. I'll go back through my Kindle and see if I can find what I'm remembering.


message 5616: by Edin (new)

Edin | 13 comments Kristi- thanks for looking on your Kindle and I will check out that series you mentioned.
The book I’m looking for I do think it took place in New York City but it could be because I’ve read a lot of mafia romance books lately and they all take place in New York, it seems. 😀 thanks!

message 5622: by Nana (new)

Nana | 76 comments Have read this book in the past. Cannot remember the title or author. Pretty sure it is not a HP. Maybe a Silhouette. H is a doctor. H and h engaged. h walks in to H's office and finds him kissing OW on couch . OW is an ex of H's from high school. h calls off engagement. Lot's of angst until h forgives H. H said he was kissing OW to see if he was a cheater like his father. (Apparently his father slept around as his wife rejected him after traumatic birth of 1st baby.) Many thanks.

message 5624: by Poorvi (new)

Poorvi | 302 comments Hi all, does anyone know of a book where the heroine breaks into the hero's residence? I don't remember much, but the house is this castle type place, and he finds her in the garden. I don't remember if she manages to get into the house. The hero may possibly have a title like Duke or something, and there may have been a vague beauty and the beast theme to the plot but I'm super unsure of the last point. It's an older book, around 15-20 years old at least.


message 5625: by Booklover (new)

Booklover | 14 comments I don't remember much about this book except that its a HP. The H is a billionaire. He has a bodyguard? Travels in a limousine. The h could have been his mistress/one-night stand. She has his twin babies. He brings them to an apartment and arranges to have a nanny for the kids. The h doesn't like it but has no choice about the matter. The H could have threatened her.
The only scene I remember is that the H comes back some from trip? and when he comes inside the apartment, he finds loud music and the clothes strewn everywhere (both male and female). He is praying thats its not the h and finds the nanny he engaged in bed with her boyfriend while his kids are crying. He immediately dismisses the nanny and when the h returns she finds the billionaire taking care of his babies.
Can anybody help me find this book?

Could be Reluctant Mistress, Blackmailed Wife by Lynne Graham

Booklover | 14 comments The problem is that I don't remember anything else about the book other than the scene I have mentioned. So, I will have to read the book to find out if it's the book I am looking for. I will read it and let you know if it's the one. Thanks reeder (reviews).

Is it possible you have combined two different series? Some details are similar to the Orsini brothers series by Sandra Marton and some sound like Sabbitini brothers series by Melanie Milburne

Poorvi | 302 comments I'm also looking for this one other book where the hero's mother is this absolute monster from hell who has the hero's dogs shot when he was a child.

Towards the end, the heroine gifts the hero a pair of dogs.

Unless this is a popular plot trope (gosh, I hope not, lol), I think it's The Italian in Need of an Heir by Lynne Graham.


message 5635: by Neri (new)

Neri | 74 comments This is upsetting because I read it recently and don't remember the name at all.

The h is at the theater with her friend when they spot a guy (our H) who looks remarkably like the h. They feel an undeniable attraction. The big mystery of the book is if they're related or not and there is also some family drama involving suicide or a fire (or both...) and affairs and etc etc. Angst ensues. Turns out they are not related (not really a spoiler...hopefully) as their folks didn't cheat.

Jami | 11 comments Looking for a book where he h and H were engaged. Friends of the H claim they saw the h sleeping with a guy in a car. The engagement is broken. A couple of years later the h's mother is sick. The h and H get back together. I remember that the h's grandfather is rich. I think they are Greek.

This sounds a lot like the The Cozakis Bride

message 5641: by Nana (new)

Nana | 76 comments I am looking for suggestions regarding HP's that have the same theme where the h has a conversation (in person or via phone) with the (supposed) OW suggesting the H is with them. Thus causing the H to really grovel to get the h to talk or be with him again. An example would be The Sicilian's Marriage Arrangement by Lucy Monroe. It does not necessarily need to be an HP either but those are my favorite. Thank you.

Yes, I recall that one. I think that scene is right near the beginning of the book as I recall. Thank you for thinking of that one. If you think of anymore please let me know.


message 5644: by Alloe (new)

Alloe | 14 comments Hi everyone!

I lost a Harlequin (I'm pretty sure it was a vintage one) where the h lives in Alaska. I don't really remember what she did but I remember she was sort of in charge of transporting groceries or cargo that arrived. I think she might have been charge of a grocery store or working for one (something like that lol).

The H was her best friend. The H and h had a one night stand and the h ends up pregnant. The h hides it from him and I think someone he suspected or the h stops communicating with him. I remember a scene where the H flies out in secret with the cargo on the plane to Alaska and once it lands, the door opens and the h is surprised by the H's appearance. She might have been visibly pregnant when he first saw her or he finds out once he gets out and she tries to hide it.

Sadly that's all I remember, everything else is foggy. Can anybody help me find this book?

Hi Nana, not a conversation but a letter with the cliched but highly dramatic: "Do you know where your husband will be tonight?" = The Marriage War by Charlotte Lamb. (ETA: missed the part where you wanted a grovel...not really one in this book...he does apologize though? For a Lamb H, that's as much as you can hope for though...)

Ashley | 2 comments I read this book 4-5 years ago but I can't remember its name.Heroine acts in a play and is inthe process of divorcing the hero who is an Italian buisnessman.He comes to see her on stage in the opening scene and they go to her flat while arguing.They have sex while fighting and hero says that heroine brings out the worst in him.He ruminates that he gets out of control easily with her as apparently he was wearing his pants while doing it and they do it against the wall which is too unsophisticated for him.
Another book whose blurb I remember but could not read it is that hero and heroine are freinds since childhood and they get married.They have separate bedrooms and heroine doesn't enjoy sex Hero gets in a dangerous situation which makes heroine realise that she was in love with him.She starts enjoying sex but hero begins doubting her that somebody else has been introducing her to the pleasures of flesh.

message 5649: by ANA (new)

ANA | 64 comments I'm looking for a book, sorry here are the details I remember: definitely an HP. H and h split up, and the h goes on to marry someone else. Unlike most HPs, this marriage with OM was not unhappy, unconsummated, etc. The marriage was normal, although the h and OM never got to those same depths of passion. I think h and OM had a daughter, but I don't know for sure I am not confusing it with another book. The H knows he was in the wrong, and he never thought he had a chance with the h until he hears the OM-husband died.
