It wasn't penny jordan at the end but Michelle Reid.
I love her books :)

:-)
Got the summary a bit confused but it did have the boat scene "
Siy...I can't tell how happy I am. Thanks a lot for finding it :D

I would be totally clueless without this wonderful forum that's for sure lol :-)

The story begins I think with H with Ow flipping through a house and country magazine and notices the h. He was older I think it was a May December book as she was 17 or 18 not really sure - but he visits the house with ow and notices her coming down the stairs with a baby on her hip (her half brother) H pursues her and she gives in but overhears him talking to someone thinking he wants the big house and just using her and cheating with ow so she runs to her friend which is a boy her age and kisses him in front of H to break up with him. Which he does but fast forward five or six years he hasn't forgotten and forces her to either a) be his mistress or b) his wife.
Does this book ring any bell with anyone ? I remember when she run to her friend he was shirtless and was working in the yard or something??
Thx

Wife: Bought and Paid for
Wife: Bought and Paid for
by Jacqueline Baird
Penny is stuck: her ex-boyfriend Solo Maffeiano owns half her family home, yet she needs to pay off a barrage of debts left by her late father. She has no choice but to agree to Solo's offer: he will pay the debts and restore the dilapidated mansion where they will live - if Penny becomes his wife! She will be his wife, bought and paid for.
I hope this is what you are looking for. :-)

Yes Maleka I was looking for the same book! :)
Thanks Verity! :))

I had a friend who had to ask her husband ex if his children could be tested for bone marrow to save him. They had a bad break and he rarely saw the kids. The ex denied her and he died without finding a donor.

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 grandfather had tricked her into believing that the hero had stolen something of value from her, as well as slept with women to help support his family. 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.

The H and h are or were married. There is a want-to-be OW who causes issues for the h and the H never believes the h. I think the OW is a family friend or works with the H or both.
I remember towards the end of the book the H starts believing the h about the OW and sets up the OW to reveal her true self to him with the h overhearing. I think the scene happened while a party was happening for his mothers birthday.
I think the book is set in Italy.
Sorry for the vague details. Does this ring a bell with anyone?
Just thought of another harlequin I want to reread.
The h is the H's mistress and she gets pregnant but before she can tell him he takes her to a restaurant and dumps her. She excuses herself to the bathroom and leaves.
Years later he bumps into her working as a waitress and finds out he has a child.
Any ideas on this one?

2nd book is same as the 1 another poster was looking for last year :
Julia James ~

1st book, sounds familiar.


The H and h are or were married. There is a want-to-be OW who causes issues for the h and the H never believes the h..."
the 1st book definitely sounds like Duarte's Child by Lynn Graham - she was on the run - jumped in her car got stung by a bee - he took care of her.
The other woman was the guy's assistant - Bliss was her name - who sabotaged her attempts to be close to her husband - schedule appointments to coincide with her personal plans with him .....
The second one not so sure

Pam - could it be this book you are looking for? It sounds like it to me.. Hope it is. Wife By Approval

If you are looking for a particular title and cannot remember its name, post a description her..."
Heroine abandons baby for cancer treatment!:
I am looking for a book where the heroine abandoned her baby because she had to leave for a secret treatment for her cancer. She was afraid to bond with the baby and told no one, of course. A year or so later, she wants to see her baby. Alpha hero is, naturally, outraged and not buying her desire to see said Greek/Italian/Sicilian ??? baby. He outs her through the usual paces and she redeems her self. Does this sound familiar?
