Is this the one where her husband had died but she was wearing a wedding ring, they married as teenagers and he had a terminal illness I think. I don't think she slept with him. Was the ONS on a boat?

Adrienne | 8 comments Looking for a HP that I read but can't remember title/author. I can't remember a lot of details but I believe H & h marry because h is pregnant. The part I do remember clearly is the h had previously went to prison for theft from and elderly woman she was taking care of. Of course, the h was innocent & I believe the niece of the woman had actually stolen the items. The press finds out about her prison record & the H wants the h to sign a statement to be released to the press that's an apology & saying how she's changed. The h refuses to sign the statement because she's innocent & won't say she's guilty. I think she ended up serving her entire sentence instead of being released early because she wouldn't admit guilt for something she didn't do. That's when the H starts investigating & figures out is was the niece and h is innocent.

Poorvi | 302 comments Does anyone know this book:

The MMC has a brother that is estranged from his family over his choice to marry the FMCs sister. The siblings die and the FMC meets her BILs family. That's when she finds out that the estrangement is over the fact that the BIL also stole from the family before eloping with the sister. The FMC strongly denies this saying that the only thing the BIL gave her sister was an heirloom ring that was rightfully his and that they lived within their means and never had this extra money that he supposedly stole.
It comes out later, that the BIL did infact only take the ring from the family safe, and MMCs aunt who lives with them took the rest and framed the BIL.

Elisa Cardillo | 1 comments Hello I’m looking for a book that I read only a few months ago but can’t seem to remember the name of it.

Thanks for your help!!

It starts with a girl in her twenties who falls in love with a married man. The have an affair that last a few years but when the wife discovers it the man (ex rugby player) stops the affair to stay with his wife. The girl is pregnant but tells him she’ll get an abortion (soiled alert: she never did and put the child to care).

About 10years later they meet again, while both of them are married and have children. She became an actress, but she clearly has some issues (stress, pressure, anorexia,..). They have an affair once again and this time he ends up leaving his wife and they try to leave together. Turns out, they’re not made for an actual relationship, the man loves his exwife and misses her and after a lot of drama (the guy’s daughter has a scooter accident,…) they separate and never see each other ever again.

The woman gets treatment and support from her ex husband and tries to get on with her life. It ends when she goes into a caffe, about to meet for the first time the son that she had when she was in her twenties.

Marija | 1 comments Looking for a novel that starts with a girl that is sad about her own wedding which is about the same day or the day after. The guy is I believe some royalty or something (possibly Italian). Anyway he loves her and he promises not to touch her until she tells him she wants him. She wants a divorce but he insists she stays with him for three months or so. She falls for him after a while and walks into his bedroom, they spend a crazy hot night together and she stays pregnant. Some jealousy comes in the way and he starts rejecting her. Eventually he decides to let her go before the three months have passed, but she gets a change of heart :) Anyone know which book this is? I read it somewhere between 1998 and 2005... Tried searching for a looong time for this one, and no luck :(

Zubee | 52 comments Hi
I'm looking for a historical romance I read a few years back
H and h meet and get married; in a church which burns or closes down so all records are destroyed. He is leaving for a war. He is an aristocrat while she's a commoner
H goes off to war and is injured; his older brother and father are traveling to see him when they die on the way by drowning
He comes back to recover and becomes the Duke or Marquis perhaps
h tries to see him but he is injured and grieving his father and brothers death so refuses to see her. She is pregnant and wanted to tell him. He goes back to war again and returns after some years
She is pregnant and ends up under the control of someone who treats her badly maybe
He comes back to find about his son
He gets the child and h back with him; the book starts when he has just got h and child back with him
She is hurt and does not engage with him much; only interested that H looks out for the child who is his Heir
Later on she discloses that he betrayed her when he refused to see her; he only thought of his grief and not that she might have needed his help as she was pregnant and that because he didn't hear her out or meet her, she and her child had such a difficult life
He also finds proof of their marriage as this was presumed to be lost
Hoping someone remembers

message 6816: by Jenn (new)

Jenn (peanutbutterandjenn) | 2 comments Hi.

I'm looking for a book. I don't remember the name or the author of the book. From what I can remember, it was published in the 2000s or 2010s. It starts off as H and h meeting in New York as the hs grandfather is settled there. Her parents live in the UK. The H and h date and get married in the matter of days. They consumate the marriage and the next day the H goes all stoic and calls for the hs grandfather and shows him the marriage certificate that he married her. In comes the Hs background and how hs grandfather stole the Hs grandfathers shipping business. He tells the grandfather, in exchange of the shipping business, he'll divorce the h. So that happens. The h shuts down.

The story then opens what 3-4 years later and then he tries getting her back and whatnot

Please help me find the books. Thanks in advance

Clo2 | 1 comments Hello - Please help - I read this book many years ago (late 80s - early 90s). The story is about a Ranch with precious stones. The heroine is a writer staying at her friend’s ranch and she falls in love with her friend’s older brother. They discovered later that some of the beautiful stones found on the property are gems. Heart of Stone by Diana Palmer has some similarities. In advance, thank you for your help.

C | 44 comments Hi, everyone. Been a while since I've popped in. Hoping to find this HP. Heroine is a helicopter pilot and has been having a relationship with a crown prince (whose royal status he kept secret from her). I think his father passes away so he's finally taking up the mantle and he decides they need to go their separate ways. A few months pass, and she lands a job flying a helicopter to his country. I think she has a health scare and it turns out she's pregnant? Anyways, towards the end of the book, she jumps onto a helicopter piloted by her former co-pilot but they fly into stormy conditions but they end up crash landing on a rocky outcrop where ships have been known to sink. I think there's a local legend it's home to a monster. The prince then leads a rescue mission to find her. I might be misremembering some details, but I'm fairly sure most of the stuff I've mentioned is accurate.


message 6823: by QueenT (new)

QueenT | 50 comments Hello, I m slowly losing hope to ever find this book but giving it another shot
The details are hazy but there is one scene I remember, and I think it was about the secondary couple (who may be the leads in a different book from the same series). They are at an extended family outing (in some kind of picnic or treasure hunt). there is a lot of stolen looks and angsty tension then the woman is suddenly ill. It seems shes pregnant and everyone, especially the family elders, are shocked. Her date at the outing, who is a friend, steps up to save the day and tells everyone he is the father. The actual father (the secondary male lead) wont have it, he says something like "the hell you are".
I dont remember much else, but this is 100% a Harlequin, most likely from the 80s or 90s. Thanks a lot.

Anthony Peters | 1 comments Hello, I hope someone can help. I'm trying to remember the title of a sci-fi short story with a powerful environmental theme that I read in the 1970s, so it might have been written in the 60s or even earlier. The plot involved humans landing on another planet, it's largely desolate and, importantly, flat, but has some strange sturdy trees and peaceful human-like creatures. The human visitors cut down some of the trees (can't remember why), this greatly distresses the humanoids, for reasons that only later become clear. It transpires that sporadically there's a great flood and the only way to survive in this flat landscape is by climbing up into the trees. The short story would have been published in an anthology. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.


message 6825: by Alecia (new)

Alecia Robinson (alecia1990) | 30 comments Hello everyone I hope someone can help me find this book. It is a harlequin romance about a professor and a football coach at a college. The hero and heroine did not like each other because the hero was upset that the heroine was failing a star player. I believe she was attacked outside a bar or restaurant and he was present to save her from the attacker. They eventually became close and near the end was a surprise pregnancy resulting from their stay at a motel. Thank you

Tammy | 7 comments looking for a harlequin. I read it about 10-12 years ago, i think it was a harlequin blaze.
the cover has a woman with a mask on that covers the area around her eyes. she had to come home because of a family problem. so during the day she works in her family bakery, and at night she strips and wears a mask so she doesn't get recognized.
she was heavy as a child, and had a crush on a family friend, and they were dancing at a wedding, and she tripped and fell on him-she is mortified because she was wearing a girdle. I think they called her 'cookie' as a kid.
when she comes back as an adult-the guy she had a crush on didn't recognize her-and she feels a thrill...he tries to hit on her, and she turns him down. she doesn't want to be involved in anyone from home-the small town, the gossip mill, everyone knowing everyone's business....she wants the big town, not a small town.
so she starts to strip at a club, and who shows up to work security? so she decides to try and seduce him as the stripper.
her act involves rose petals, and just before she leaves the stage, she plucks off the rose petals pasties, covering her nipples.

message 6831: by Nya (new)

Nya | 1 comments Looking for a mystery/romance novel (I believe written in the 1970s but could have been between 1950-1980) about a nanny or governess who takes a job in a small town looking after a young boy who is mute due to some tragedy in his past. The dad is a rich attractive widower. I remember his family "owned" much of the town and due to his dad or grandfathers preference had much of the town still "living in the past" old style cars, old style phones etc. There is a mystery surrounding the death of the child's mother and why he is mute. The nanny/governess is falling in love with rich widower but did he kill his wife? It may have been young adult literature. I just cannot remember the title or author. Thanks in advance!

This doesn't sound like any Harlequin Presents that I've read. Nor does it sound like a Harlequin Presents "type" plot.

Are you sure this was a Harlequin Presents book? If not, you might want to post your question in one of the other groups as well.

But the h went to ask the H (maybe her ex-husband) for money
and he made her his mistress as revenge and didn't give her the money, I think there was something about her uncle or inheritance,
In the end, she left and her step-brother went to H who believed she was cheating on him with the step-brother (he didn't know they were siblings) the money was for a charity or a business for the brother
The ending scene was H went to h apartment using the keys the brother gave him.

Poorvi | 302 comments Does anyone know this book..

The hero and his brother have an accident. The brother dies and the hero ends up with blindness. Before the accident the brother tells the hero about a girl he's in love with.
Some time later, the hero goes to one of his isolated properties to recuperate and meets the heroine who works there (housekeeper I think) They fall in love and the hero regains his eyesight to find that the heroine is the one his brother was in love with..He accuses her of leading the brother on and breaking his heart and he's horrible to her because of it. Truth is that the brother was actually obsessive and harrassing the heroine.

message 6841: by Shine (new)

Shine | 2 comments Hi this is a sheikh novel where he brings back the foreigner heroine back to his kingdom

The hero is a sheikh or a prince of a desert kingdom. The heroine is a foreigner who is attached to the kingdom and it's culture . She would have gotten the love for the kingdom from her grandfather who was probably an archaeologist. The heroine anonymously donates an important book to the kingdom. The hero calls the heroine back to write a caption or something for the book. He acts like he doesn't know who donated the book but knows it's her. The heroine struggles to accept that she is a native and thinks that she's an outsider to the kingdom. She wears a hijab and all. She tries to enter the kingdom conspicuously but the hero finds out about it.

Hi all! I'm looking for the title of an old Harlequin. I am going to spoil the ending . . . the h/H met and had a one night stand. She was a teenager desperately looking for a hero. H left. h married an acquaintance of the H's who basically saved her because she had no one. She had twin boys. She send them to boarding school because her husband (not the H at this time) was sick with cancer and needed a lot of care. He passed away. H comes back into her life because he was made a guardian of her twin boys. He thinks, of course, she is a two timer and 'loose' and was just using her husband. He was pissed she sent them to boarding school (obviously didn't know about her husband's cancer). H eventually finds out that the twins are his biologically and drama ensues. Eventually, they decide to leave the boys in their school but the h moves closer to live near so the boys can live with her. H is in grovel mode at this point, buys a house near and they coparent. It's around Christmas time. h is pregnant again and terrified to tell him. He reveals he knows through a painting he commissioned. HEA all around.

Looking for this book:

Hero and heroine meet in GB, he’s Italian, she a student. She has had a terrible childhood bc as it later turns out her dad didn’t think she was his for a long time.

Therefore he marries her. But she dies from cancer. So Italian comes back and blackmails h.

Could it be Lynne Graham - A Vengeful Passion

I can’t remember if the ex is dead or not but she is isn’t around.
The bit about the father not thinking he is her father comes right at the end, when the H tries to fix everything.
When they split the first time his mother is involved, think she tries to pay the h to leave him.
