Sorry, there's no html hint on this page, so I'm not able to link it like some other computer savvy people can!
Sira -- you can start a thread about pets if you want.I've read so many books with that good/sister bad sister/baby theme... Here's the link for In Name Only
I think its In name only coz i vividly remember that the heroine's evil twin sister was alive. and does come back in the end.bought for the marriage bed the Evil sis is dead..
should be one of them
Can any of you possibly help me identify a Harlequin Presents book? I can't remember who the author is or when it came out. It was about this princess, I think, who helped her brother kidnap this girl who was due to marry her brother's rival and thusly would become king. The heroine ends up leaving the man after the wedding night to meet back up with her brother. It then skips some time to where it's a few months later and the heroine is out shopping with the other girl who ended up marrying her brother and another woman when they're surrounded by black suv's and the man the heroine had married comes to take her back to his home. I think it's set in the Middle East. I'd appreciate any help anyone can give me. Thanks! =]

[Solved ]Old HQN - Hero marries heroine to hide his love affair with a married woman.Hero is in love with a married woman who is married to a older rich guy . She doesn’t want to leave her husband and convince hero that she is staying with her husband for compassionate reasons and her leaving her husband will kill him .
I think hero works for her Husband . The lady convinces the hero to marry someone to prevent other people from spreading gossip about them . She finds a bride for the hero ( Heroine is probably some distinct relative or knew the lady in the past) . The heroine is not aware of the exact reasons and has some financial constraints.
Hero and Heroine get married and I think the Heroine gets to know about the love affair on the day of the marriage . Finally Hero starts in falling in love with the heroine and realizes the evilness and his folly over other lady.
I can recall most of the story – but am not able to recall the name of the book .

Hi Nidhi,
Is it Temporary Wife by Roberta Leigh?

Your description sounds pretty close to what I remember of this book.
BTW, I am really digging all these questions about vintage books. I feel like I should be on a game show. :D
The book I've got in mind isn't HP -- it's either a Silhouette Super Edition or Harlequin Superromance. It should be one in which the drawing on the cover takes up the entire page.Essentially, what happens in the book is that the Hero and the Heroine had a thing that ended up in a child, but for whatever reason (I can't remember), the Heroine left. I think she didn't even know she gave birth. So the Hero brought up the little girl, who was in the image of her mother, being black-haired and blue-eyed. And the Hero hates the heroine and wants revenge on her, and maybe (?) hired her on as nanny to look after the girl. The little girl should be about 6 years old.
It sounds like Lee Wilkinson's Secret Mother but it is NOT. I've read that book. This book is definitely not HP.
Somewhere in the book, it is also mentioned that the Hero is a Scorpio (why he's all about vengeance) and the Heroine is a Pisces (why she's so meek, I suppose). If anyone could help, that'd be great.

Arrrrgggg! I read one like this recently, but cannot remember the name! I went through an older Harley/M&B phase, and read lots of them. This was in there.
H was a lawyer, and married the heroine, who was younger. His mother hated her, as she didn't fit the idea of what her son's wife should be. H had to work a lot and was often away from h. h gets pregnant, but H's mother puts doubts in his mind about the paternity. H is away when h gives birth, with complications after. Mother doesn't call him right away, but tells h that baby dies and H doesn't want her. h leaves hospital without seeing H.
Cut to the present. h is now a nurse and reads ad for nanny for child of H. She has a friend who is migrating, and assumes her identity and applies and gets the post. She thinks that H will not recognize her because she was much younger then, and had frizzy hairstyle.
H hired h for revenge. There's also a new woman in the picture. Of course, by story's end wicked mother was so sorry for what she had done. H always loved h. h never stopped loving H.
If this is the same story, hope this helps someone to id it.
Grace & Christine,It's :
~ Sandra Field
Hello,It's an old one. I think it was set in Greece. The female lead is a Silver blonde and the Hero was fascinated by her hair color because he had a dead sister/fiance (can't remember which) who had the same shade of hair. It bothered the Heroine that maybe he was projecting the dead chick's feelings onto her.
And I think they had beach/swimming scenes. I mean, ofcourse they did have beach scenes. Like I mentioned it was set in Greece.
Can't remember the title. Help please.

Could it be Diana Hamilton? I don't know if she wrote anything other than HPs, but she loved the horoscope stuff.
I vaguely remember a story in which the heroine didn't know she'd given birth (amnesia) but I'm pretty sure it was an HP.

Hi,looking for a book from the 80/90's (I think). H comes looking for h's uncle. Uncle owes money and H convinces h to marry him to keep U safe. Think they go to USA and his Gf is called Sam. h throws a party but doesn't tell the o/w it's themed. h called charlotte?Hope you can help.
Verity wrote: "Grace & Christine,It's :
~ Sandra Field"Hi Verity, that is funny how there is such a similar story like what I said out there. I like Sandra Field, so I'll give the one you said a go.
I don't think the book I mentioned was Winds of Winter though. It was a thicker book, and the cover had the three of them, H, h, and the little girl (with longish black hair). I'm thinking it must have been a Harlequin Superromance...back in the 200s-400s, when the painting on the cover took up the whole page.
Sorry to make a bunch of comments. I looked up old Silhouette covers, and it might have been one where there is a pink arched header at the top.
H and h have known each other since h’s childhood . H lived with h and her aunt for a shor time .Years later , h’s aunt dies and leaves her inheritance between H& h with the condition that H& h need to stay together for some time . H once saw an magazine article of h with high society event and believes that she is waiting her time enjoying the parties – but in reality she was a journalist.
Due to affection for h’s aunt – h and H decide that she will live in the horse farm . H thinks her to be spoilt party going girl and doesn’t treat her properly. There is also a negative character –( lady ) who is H ‘s manager and wants to harm the horses and H reputation . She continually creates trouble for h
At the end , H favorite horse becomes suddenly ill . H is at the party . h is afraid of thunderstorms – but irrespective of the fear rides thru another horse to inform H.
I really need to finds this book.. The story goes like this: The hero is ill and staying in some secluded place where the heroine meets him. Despite of the hero sending her away she nurses him. (i remember he has cough and fever). She thinks he is poor but he is in fact a rich musician- a guitarist/pianist i cant remember.. he is also super rich and famous. They get married and then she realizes that the real identity of the person she has married. So the hero's career falls in place and the heroine leaves him due to some misunderstanding..
@willaful- urm no i dont think thats the one.. There are no flashbacks or the several years later in this one .. The story goes in the same sequence as i mentioned.. The misunderstanding is sorted and the HEA. I think there is an evil ex fiancee (but not sure) and an evil agent (again unsure) involved..Thank u so much willaful for helping :)
Grace, I think you're right about it being a different book. I just read Winds of Winter, and there was no horoscope stuff in it. Though I suppose you might have mixed up two different books, as sometimes happens.Was someone looking for a book about a teacher and a football coach? I just came across one and feel like someone was looking for it. Game Plan
I'm looking for 2 presents book that all I can remember of the first is that the hero and heroine get stuck in this mansion that I believe the heroine is restoring or something for the hero. They get trapped there due to a storm that takes out the bridge that leads to the house. The other is where the hero and heroine have known each other since teenage years. The heroine's father had tricked her into believing that the hero had stolen something of value from her. They grow apart and end up disliking each other until they're reunited and they learn the truth behind what happened when they were young.
My Harlequin friends I need help finding a book I read a very long time ago. I am not sure if it is Harlequin Presents but I know it is a Harlequin/Silohouette. This is the synopsis or what I remember. The Hero owns a coffee plantation and the entire village works on it. The heroine is visiting or kept there but I can't remember why. There is some type of curse or myth concerning the heroine. The people in the village for some reason won't work or pick coffee beans. The heroine meets someone he tells he about a fungus or bug on the coffee plants. She goes to the village people and ask for help to save it. They refuse st first so she begins working by herself to save the place the hero loves so much. Then village people help say she's a savior or the answer to a myth. I believe she maybe pregnant but looses it saving place?

Hi Caitlin, I think the second book you mentioned you're looking for is Wife For Real by Kate Walker. This one I read on Mills and Boon Australua website in the online reads. It matches the description you gave.

Looking for older HQ I read a long time ago.. Like at least 15 years ago. I remember woman leaves her hubby and she never told him she was preggo. She's barely scraping by now. I think she had twins but it could just be one. I remember somehow he finds out and forces her to come back to him. For some reason he lives in swanky hotel and they had to bring cots in for kids... That's all I remember.

Sounds like it might be but the date of publication is too soon..
Nope it's not the one I'm looking for.. It's a good one though!
I can't be sure this was a Presents title, much less a Harlequin one, but I've been searching for years and just haven't had any luck at all. If it's not allowed, please feel free to delete this. The heroine met the Hero, Colin, when she worked for him for a short time as a temp. The other secretaries had a nickname for him (something with a C to go with Colin - I also think his middle name was Cary) and they all thought he was very rigid and boring. Surprisingly, Colin asks the heroine out to lunch. Later, the heroine takes another temp job, this time with an author at a beach house. She again runs into Colin, but is also attracted to a carefree bohemian type named Alan who plays the guitar. Even later, she takes a temp job at a pretty shady place that gets raided by police. She's taken in for questioning, but allowed to leave when it's clear she doesn't know anything about who she was working for. I think Colin picks her up from the station and gives her a ride home. The two talk and it's all a happy ending.
This could be from the 70's or 80's. Help?

This one started out with the heroine being blind and meeting the Hero. Something happens and they split up. She has an operation to restore her sight and meets the Hero again, only she doesn't realize it's the same guy because he lies to her and uses a different name to be close to her. I think his name was Marcus.
