Has anyone determined if this is the right book? Sounds interesting. I'd love to read it.

[rm2h]

I hope that someone will be able to locate the exact book for me.

********************************

It can't be The Markonos' Bride. Its still a very good book and I highly recommend it but from R's synopsis, I don't think it is because she was able to visit her deceased son's grave yearly with the family's consent even though her husband did not know. She couldn't stay in the family compound but she could stay at the local hotel.

His parents thought she was too young for him and didn't like her because she wasn't Greek. When their young son died, she went to pieces and the husband left her to grieve on his own. By the time he returned, her family had come to bundled off back to England. She returned a month later and found him in bed with another woman and she left him for good. (beginning of the story so no big spoilers)

A) [Solved - Temporary Paragon - Emma Goldrick]Heroine named: Beth? (Elizabeth, I think) - she works for the hero (may be a temp!? - no I just remembered that she designs software cuz she keeps saying she's got a lover on the side to distract the hero - she calls him 'Mac'(her computer!)) - the hero is in charge of a young girl(or boy). The h's sister blames him for assaulting her (or some other accusation) and the h goes to the hero to confront him by working for him. He catches her going through the files and threatens her and then when she insists he marry her sister, he says okay and that he'll meet her in the registerar's office and when the h gets there - she sees that its just them and when she sees the marriage license, she realizes that the name of the bride's been left a blank and that her sister's name and hers have the same no. of blanks so the hero tricks her into marrying him by using blackmail. The hero's totally into the h and once when they're about to get intimate, the young girl(or boy? I don't remember) under the H's ward gets sick and cries out and the hero's cursing the child cuz the moment is destroyed.

In the end, the h thinks he's in love with someone else and wants to release him but he says no and they're stuck in the elevator and the hero gives the h a lesson in geometry by explaining about how the hypotenuse is the largest side of a triangle and they can 'get it on' in the lift cuz they're stuck anyway




B - [Solved - Seed of Vengeance ]heroine called Erica. I think her father had a company (perfume, I think). Hero worked for the father and had been in love with the heroine but she caught him with her step mom (or something other misunderstanding) - ...there's a typical scene where she's preggo and then is an accident and when she awakens, she's delivered the baby and the hero tells her she's free to leave him cuz yadda yadda....he calls her Aura cuz of her blond hair and presence



C - [Solved -Madelin's Marriage - Emma Goldrick ]A heroine called Medeline and I remember her to be a free spirit sort of a person and there comes a guy who's interested in her - he asks her aunt (or grandmother?) to fake an illness so they can get married by the sick lady's bedside in a hurry. Heroine was super gutsy.....

Eeejay,
# 2 sounds like :
Elizabeth Power - Seed of vengeance. I friggin' luv this book =)~


His terms were nonnegotiable

"If you want to help him ...you're going to have to marry me first," Rafe stipulated.

Erica would rather have died than meet Rafe Cameron's outrageous terms, but it wasn't her life that was at stake. She had no choice but to agree to his proposal of marriage--and the honeymoon--and any other demands he cared to m... Then, she vowed, the day Rafe cleared her father's name, she would drop her bombshell. Fine plans--only she hadn't counted on falling in love!

YES!!!!!!!!!! That's it exactly! I've loved this book! another addition to my Fave books!

[Verity]

I'm so ashamed. I just recalled I was supposed to send this book to Danielle & nevah did. Sorry, D !

[willaful]

I know I sound like a broken record, but boy, I miss those old titles! Nowadays it would be the The Greek Tycoon's Seedy Vengeance.

[Verity]

Heroine were ill & left baby & hubby behind :
Kate Walker = Kept for her baby
Daphne Clair = No escape

I haven't read it but I heard this fits the theme :
Anne Hampson = Song of the waves

SOOOOOO true!!!

I was just thinking the same looking at the current reads of everyone

alternate yet acceptable titles:
"Italian's mistress revenge"
"Greek tycoon, preggers mistress"
"Spaniard's marriage ultimatum"
"The Russian Wedding Vengeance"
"Revenge of the British Mistress" (<---Alas, this one can never be!)


=D what's with the nationalities in the titles? and mistresses? and preggers?

[EeeJay]

[Unsolved]:

The heroine is a singer at a club at night and works for the hero during the day (maybe as a window mannequin arranger or something, IIRC). When she's in the singer mode: she dons a disguise with a wig and everything and her confidence sky-rockets

The hero is attracted to both the heroine in day job and the singer at night and he keeps taunting the day-job heroine that he's found another lover....Finally he finds out and then typically they have a falling out -


any help?

[EeeJay]

2 - [Solved]: The heroine is a model who goes by the professional name Sahara...she ends up vacationing/ hiding away on a hill somewhere with the hero whose name IIRC was Jesse (Alias)....ring any bells?

[willaful]

I saw this at "whatsthatbook" and thought I'd bring it over. I've probably read it, but it's such a common storyline I can't place it:

"Hi! I am looking for a book i read a year or two ago, but the book has been published before that, dont know when. Summary: A woman needs money to pay for her mothers treatment, so she makes a deal with a man she is very attracted to. They were involved in the past, how i dont know. Maybe he was a past lover, or she rejected him i don remember. The thing is she wanted a weird sum of money, an exact sum of money. She didnt tell him why she needed the money, he tought she was a gold digger. They get married or are lovers, i dont remember, they sign a contract. He wants her. Towards the end of the book they separate, she runs of his yacht/ boat. It bothered him why that number ( amount of money) and when he finds out that she needed it for her mother, he is shocked. He helps her mother even further and seeks her out. They end up together. The book is pure romance. The author writes romance novels. Possible authors are: Lynne Graham, Michelle Reid, Jacqueline Baird ----> but i think it also might be someone else."

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Harlequin Presents are my crack!]

I don't think it's the same book, but Terms of Possession has a heroine who agrees to have a couple's baby so she can pay for her mother's medical treatment. She actually has sex with the husband to get pregnant.

[Jacky]

Hey everyone, i need help; I read book about a couple of years ago, I cant remember the author or title and I wanna read it again. I don't remember the names of the hero but I know he is of Spanish descent. the heroine was living with him because I think her parents died and she was a lot younger than he was and they had an affair. That's all I really remember, I hope somebody can help, thanks a lot.

[Verity]

Jacky do U have any other specific details ? step sibs or Guardian vs Ward theme ?

[willaful]

I remember a book like that was 2nd in an HP trilogy about 3 long-lost brothers who had never met being united. Pretty sure it had Virgin in the title. Does that sound familiar?

[Verity]

Michelle Reid has books w/ long-lost bros IINM.

[Jacky]

yea i think the hero was her guardian. Im not sure if there was a virgin in the title, all I remember is that the author's last name might be hyphenated and might start with an H.

[willaful]

I'm pretty sure that the three books in the series I'm thinking of were all by different authors.

Oh, I found it - The Disobedient Virgin, part of the "Ramirez Brides" series. Michelle Reid wrote the first in the series.

[Jacky]

I read that book and that's not it, but thanks. However i have another book I wanna find. the book is an historical romance; there are identical twin brothers I'm pretty sure one's named Raphael, the mean one is married but is lusting about his wife's cousin who is the heroine and has a scar in her leg. The good one came back from a long trip after being away for a long time and married the heroine to save her from his brother. the brother is always spying on them through a hole in their bedchamber when they're making love. That's all i really remember in the storyline, if i remember anything else i'll post it. Thanks in advance!

[Verity]

Sounds like Catherine Coulter = Moonspun magic ?

[Slaveforomance]

The only HP author who I remember that has a hyphenated name is Fiona Hood-Stewart. You might want to check her books from fictiondb.com

[willaful]

Could it be At The Spanish Duke's Command? That's got a Spanish guardian.

[Jacky]

Thank a lot guys, it is the book by Fiona Hood-Stewart and also Moonspun Magic. Thank again!

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Harlequin Presents are my crack!]

I need to pull that off my tbr pile. Thanks for the heads up!

i need a list of any mills and boon or harlequin or hp book with the theme wherin the heroine is gravely ill like "The Spaniard's Marriage Bargain by Abby Green"
something similar..."

Lyraa, Do you still need this type of story? I believe (view spoiler)[ The Greek's Million-Dollar Baby Bargain (hide spoiler)] fits the bill, though it is after the fact, it is why she took the million.

I've been thinking recently of an old HP that I lost when a box of books disappeared in our move 6 years ago.

It was about a young girl who fell in love with her father's best friend and ended up getting pregnant by him after his divorce from his wife. She had nothing to do with the divorce. They got married. The front cover had a pic of her in overalls I think.

I'd love to find it again. Does anyone have any idea what this book is? It's probably from the 1980s.

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Harlequin Presents are my crack!]

Could that be ?

[Jacqueline J]

Lady Danielle "The Book Huntress" wrote: "Could that be ?"

Boy Lady Danielle, you can sure keep a lot of books straight in your mind but this is not it.

I am obviously mixing up two books. I think this one went missing in the disappearing box too. I remember liking and keeping this one.

But actually the book I'm looking for is the one about the young girl who marries her father's best friend. So obviously again, I have no idea now what the cover shows. She may not have gotten pregnant until the very end of the book but there was definitely a scene where they are painting the nursery.

I'm thinking the cover might have had a close up of the two of them under an umbrella.

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Harlequin Presents are my crack!]

I just remembered the coveralls on the cover. I have a weird memory. I can remember somethings extremely clearly twenty years later, but others, no memory of it at all. :) I hope you find the book.

[Stientje]

Hi everyone, I was hoping you could help me.
I'm looking for a book I read years ago. I don't remember the title or the author.

The plot goes something like this: the heroine discovers her fiancé cheating with her sister (or her cousin). She ends up with her boss, who, as it turns out later, has hired a private investigator to make sure she catches her cheating fiancé, because he noticed her a long time ago and he kind of set it up that she would fall in his arms after she discovered her cheating fiancé. They get married out of practical reasons, because he wants to settle down or something. It takes a long time for them to figure out they actually love each other.

Other stuff I remember: there's a lot of travelling, something about a horse riding accident and he is obsessed with her hair (which she puts in a tight bun and he wants her to wear it loose).

I really hope somebody knows which book I'm talking about. Thank you so much.

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Harlequin Presents are my crack!]

That sounds good, Stientje. I hope someone knows which book it is.

[Marw]

Sounds like the "Trophy Husband" by Lynne Graham.

I´m quite sure it is "The Trophy Husband" by Lynne Graham.

Hello everyone, I've searched EVERYWHERE and haven't been able to come up with an answer, so I thought I'd try here. I read a book years and years ago that I believe was an old harlequin, and I can't for the life of me remember the title.

The book starts out with the heroine (I believe her name is Skye) rescuing the hero's kid from ice or icy water or something. I can't even remember the main plot line, but I believe there's a scene where Skye and the hero are in front of a campfire drinking wine out of styrofoam cups, and another where Skye, the hero, and his kid visit some friends' house for a gathering...

I know that's not much to go off of, but if any of you have any ideas, please let me know!

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Harlequin Presents are my crack!]

Hanneke, that sounds like a Penny Jordan book, but I don't know that I've read it. I hope someone is able to post a suggestion.

Hi Hanneke, see if this is what you´re looking for.

HP 1105 Substitute Lover by Penny Jordan

Stephanie never told Gray Chalmers the truth about her marriage to his cousin, Paul. And she’s avoided the town where he and Paul ran a boatyard and Paul accidentally died. Now Gray needs her help and she owes him so much. Can she return and face the memories?

[Carla]

Hanneke, what is the book by Penny Jordan called in Dutch?
I am Dutch as well and a bit curious!

[Carla]

Hi everyone.

My turn to ask for help. :)
My friend is looking for a book she read some time ago, but she can not remember its name.
The heroine, who is an actress, has a sister who worked as a secretary for the H and she fell for him but he did not feel the same. I don´t know exactly if her sister resigns or if the H fires her.
The heroine´s sister tells her that she was in love with him and he took advantage of that and deceived her and used her, etc..
The heroine decides to give the H a lesson and make him fall for her (I guess). She starts to work for him in the same position of her sister... she is a good actress, but has no experience as a secretary and he is very demanding... My friend said that there are some funny parts of him trying to deal with a copier and some lost files on the computer.. They have a romance, the two fall in love and he discovers that she is taking revenge, so he fires her.
When her sister assumes she lied, the heroine seeks for the Hero in his office and asks for forgiveness. I think he humiliates her at first but then they have their happy ending.

Does this ring a bell for anyone??

[Aroma with Love]

sorry, never came across it...

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Harlequin Presents are my crack!]

Carla, I don't know if I'd read that one.

[Jacky]

Hi, Its been about 2/3 years since I've read any HP books and I am hoping you guys could help get back on track this summer. I need some recommendations; preferably HP books involving pregnancy/babies, other types (non-pregnancy) are also welcome. Any other non HP books would also be great, thanks a lot!
