Glad I could help, happy reading!
Hi I am looking for 2 harlequin books 1)(desire) where hero went to see heroine in her ranch and the weather is bad so he struck in her place but they were married and divorced because they lost the baby and hero had good relationship with her father. heroine have something about baby in the paper weight and I think hero went there for Christmas to pass something from her father (not sure).. 2) Harelequin present, hero and heroine married because they had boy (4-5 years) and something about the baby being alone or something made him lonely or something and heroine is trying to have another baby and hero is not happy about it.
please help me to fine this books. thank you.
Looking for a few things...1. Heroine called her father Dan or Don for some reason (instead of Dad). I believe he died in a boating accident or something. Heroine was devastated, wrote about it in her diary (hero may have read it at some point, not sure). Hero thinks "Dan or Don" was her lover.
2. Heroine thinks she's pregnant by the Hero and has a male friend who's training to be a doctor examine her alone. Hero walks in and thinks the worst. This may have been a second chance/secret baby story.
3. (This may or may not have been an HP). Heroine falls for a guy named Marcus. Angst happens, they break up. Heroine becomes blind, meets and falls for a guy named Allan. Finds out Allan is actually Marcus. There may have been some amnesia thrown in there somewhere as well. It's possible I have this backwards and she was blind in the beginning but regained her sight after the breakup with Marcus (Allan).

Book three is The Light Within by Yvonne Whittal, my favorite by her (so far).
I am looking for a Harlequin Book about some type of jungle adventure that the H and the h survive together. The Hero gives the h some type of temporary ring and at the end of the book she takes it off or hides it from her "fiancee" and father and the H sees her do it?? Does this sound familiar to anyone?

This may or may not have been a Harlequin, but I've been looking for it for so long, I thought I'd try here anyway. I'd say it's probably an 80s title. Heroine is working as an office temp and meets her boss, Colin. Hero Colin is very by-the-book and rather stuffy. He takes the heroine to lunch. She orders a light salad because it's so hot out and he orders meat and potatoes and is it weird that I remember the freakin' food but not the title or author? lol Heroine moves on to another temp job, this time at an author's beach house. She runs into Colin again and also meets Alan, a guy who's a bit more of a free spirit (he plays the guitar). The contrast between Colin and Alan is quite stark, but the heroine can't get Colin out of her head.
Later on, the heroine takes another temp job at an office, but the situation is really shady. The place gets raided by police and she's taken in along with everyone else. It takes awhile before she convinces the police that she was just the temp. She sees Colin and feels humiliated and worried that he might think she had really done something wrong. She doesn't think he saw her, but he did. Later, he turns up at her apartment, they talk, and happy ever after.
Side note: The other women in his office make fun of Colin behind his back a bit because his name is Colin Cary Something-Else-That-Starts-With-A-"C".
Sorry that was so long, but this one has eluded me for years. I hope someone can help.

I just received Midnight Lover and it is not the right book because the H never gives the h a ring. The book I am looking for is similar but the Hero gives the h some type of temporary ring. He may have even weaved it out of jungle plant. The ring is supposed to represent his love for her. When they reach safety the father and boy friend of the h are there waiting for her. When she sees them she panics and slides off the promise ring before they see it. Hero sees her do that and assumes that means she never felt anything for him. Does that sound familiar?
Hi i'm looking for a book where the h is part of a wealthy and prestigious family and has a stepbrother who wishes he was part of that family but he is a gambler and a wastrel but still the h loves him so this one time the h wealthy family has a get together and he tries to steal the patriarch's horribly vulgar trophy wife's earrings but the H who i think is the h second cousin finds him and blackmails the h into an engagement he has always wanted. But the patriarch who is the H father does not want him to marry the h and tries to get her fired from her job and at the end pushes her into traffic but later changes his mind and saves her at the cost of his life. Please help!
hi i'm looking for a book where the heroine is being harasser for sex by her landlord and she goes to his business partner for help and they fall i love but the heroine has a secret which i revealed by the other partners jealous wife. The heroine's father apparently was married and had older children but his wife refused a divorce when he asked for it so he lived a double life with the heroine's mother. The heroine's father died of a heart attack while visiting the heroine in her apartment which led her being accused of being his mistress by the vindictive wife.

HI, I'm looking for a book but don't have many clues to provide: I remember she was a model and I believe he refused to hire her... then she steals his wallet or he accuses her of doing so.

If it helps, I think I read this in the late 80's or sometime in the 90"s.I have gone through all the Harlequin Presents listed in that time period but there are several with "jungle adventure" themes and I don't recognize the one I am looking for.
Thanks.
I am trying to find a book that I think must have been 70s/80s at the latest 90s era. The heroine is young (which is why I think this is more 70s/80s) and seeks revenge against a successful TV director hero. The hero supposedly wronged the heroine's mother who was an actress. I think the cover had the heroine as having black hair. I also recall that the hero owned an estate ( in the UK I don't remember what country). Hero falls head over heels for heroine and she eventually reveals why she seduced him. I think the book ends with the hero rushing back to his country estate and finding the heroine there.
Is this the one where the actress mother has the heroine dress and act really young and at first he thinks she's a teen?

willaful wrote: "Is this the one where the actress mother has the heroine dress and act really young and at first he thinks she's a teen?"I'm not sure. I binged on so many older Harlequins when I was younger because my library didn't do a massive purge of their romance shelves until I graduated high school. They ran out of room so they got rid of the older category romances. Too bad or I could've perused their shelves to find it. :(
Hi i'm looking for a book where the story is situated in Australia not the outback but Melbourne or Sidney. The hero has a father who disapproves very strongly of the hero's choice of wife because the heroine looks like her mother who the hero's father was in love with so he feels possessive of her and goes as far as trying to lie that she was his daughter. I remember a scene at the end where the hero's father was with some business friends outside his office building and the heroine was coming to see him when he pushed her into traffic but seconds later dived in to save her causing his own death. The hero's family is very wealthy and the heroine is related to him by marriage and she has a step brother who is reckless and into gambling because he isn't as wealthy as his sister . At one point he tries to steal the hero's vulgar step mothers earrings.

Sounds like it could be style of Miranda Lee or Emma Darcy, possibly Helen Biachin.
Goblinchild, the book I was thinking of is Twist of Fate but I don't think it's the one you're looking for.
So I'm looking for a book, main characters Deanna and Marc. Marc is very traditional french playboy and Deanna is a business woman who is trying to restore a historic island that's belonged to her family for years. Marc ends up buying some historic pieces that once belonged to Deanna's family to get her attention and makes her cry. Lots of back and forth bickering between the main characters. There was a subplot in it about Deanna's ex-husband who had married her cousin after cheating on her. I remember it ends with Deanna and Marc helping Deanna's cousin get to the hospital to have her baby.
The cover had the heroine with reddish hair and there's a dark forest/landscape in the background. Blue/Purple background. Contemporary setting, I believe written in the 90s.

CW/TW: for discussion of a rather severe car wreck and resulting injuries. Hi, looking for what I think was an HP from the 90s. The heroine and the hero are in a very bad car wreck and the heroine is thrown from the car, then pinned beneath the body of the vehicle when it rolled on top of her legs. She is somewhat conscious during this. I remember later in the story the hero is horrified to find out that she was awake. Both the hero and heroine have injuries that take time to heal. During that time, they don't have much, if any, contact. They finally do meet again and everything is resolved. The heroine might have been using a cane at that time and attending physical therapy.

Sounds a bit like One Christmas Night in Venice by Jane Porter, however that is only a few years old. One of my favourite HP books ever!

Hi, I am looking for Hp romance novel from the 80s 90s maybe, the plot goes like this ..The hero is rich and his mistress which is the heroine are living together, however the heroine thinks they are boyfriend and girlfriend, she gets Pregnant he freaks out, she runs away and gets into an accident (run over by a car maybe?) in the hospital the doctors said that she miscarriage, the hero feels sad and guilty (I think), she runs away and discovers that she is still pregnant.
I don't remember much afterwards, I think that some time passes and she sees the hero again? I don't really know
If anyone knows the title I will appreciate it immensely .
Hey there.This is embarrassing as I thought I had reviewed this book.
The h is on her way to visit a friend of the family when her car breaks down. The H rescues her as the family friend is his mother. She's the typical sweet h in over her head. The H starts dating and gets engaged because he knows it's time, she's from the right family and his mama likes her.
The h is thrilled until she figures out she's just a place holder so breaks it off. By now, stupid fool, he is besotted but doensn't know it so asks her to his cocktail party where she is a success. By the way, she owns a florist.
Bottom line he chases her to the country,
Sound familiar?
I checked out "Italian", "Virgin" but found nothing.
Boogenhagen?
Vintage or Boogenhagen. It's Rafael's Suitable Wife by Cathy Williams.

Hurray! Wanda totally knew this one. :P
Thanks!!!No wonder I couldn't find it without Italian, virgin, mistress etc; it actually has a real title.
Time for a re-read.
