Yamy | 12 comments Hi, this is an old HP, the H (possibly named Cesare, italian) was tricked by his brother into believing that the h (english) stole from his company. She had a daughter and never told him, then 3 years later they meet again, she's working for a charity, he threatens to tell her employers that she's a thief that can't be trusted. Her daughter lives with the h's sister and her family temporarily, then H finds out about the daughter and demands they marry as per usual.

I really need Your help:( All I know that woman and a man (maybe Matt, I don't remember) are friends (kind of) he is older and she helped him and of courser he is a millionaire or something, but she loves another (I think his name was Paul, something with a P).

Lee at ReadWriteWish (leeatreadwritewish) | 33 comments Looking for a book where h goes to edit a book written by H. H
is a millionaire who owns some sort of computer business. He has amnesia and from his time away/memory gap, he has come into possession of a manuscript. He can't remember writing it. It is very unlike what he thinks his style would be should he write a book, so he figures someone else has written it and the real writer will come forward if he publishes it. As soon as h comes forward to edit, she is obviously familiar with the book but in its earlier drafts. Hence, the H assumes she wrote it. It turns out he did write it but she was there when he did. He had been on her family's island (I remember her brother being his friend) where her family looked after him when he had amnesia. That is, he'd forgotten about his business life in the city and then, when he left the island, he forgot about that life. In the end there's a storm (of course) and she thinks he's got amnesia again. I remember lots of references to The Tempest and the novel's heroine is based on the h and she isn't happy when the H makes that character a robot.

Probably late 80s, early 90s book.

TIA

message 3215: by Elizabeth (new)

Elizabeth Mellen (librarypatronus) | 3 comments I am fairly sure it is a Harlequin book I'm remembering. I read it about 5 years ago or more, though it could be older. The main character was an interior designer, who had come back home following the death of a family member (I want to say her Aunt Maud, but as that's not finding me results in Google, it may be wrong) She runs into her ex (maybe a cowboy?) who SHE left at the altar. She was just afraid of getting married too young, though I don't think he knew that. She redesigns his bedroom at one point and adds a skylight, which is one of the most memorable parts for me - I believe that it "leaks" on them and she explains it's condensation because of the shape of it and the warmth in the room and the storm outside. I almost think he had decided to get revenge by wooing her and then leaving her, but it's been a few years and is fuzzy.


message 3216: by Rosalba (new)

Rosalba González | 20 comments Happy Saturday!

I am looking for two books that I hope you can help me with.

Book #1: This book might be a harlequin presents or desire. The h is a CEO with a ticking biological clock. She picks out the H to be the father--she ask's him to be the father. They book a hotel in D.C. to watch the cherry blossoms and because the H was doing research in one of the archives (where they make love). She isn't falling pregnant, so the H plans an emergency where he makes believe that the plane he is piloting needs to land. They land in a tropical paradise and he gets the h to slow down and relax. They leave the island when the h discovers that the H planned the entire thing. At the end of the book, they end up on an island in Maine.

Book #2: This one is definitely a Harlequin Presents series, in the Greek line. The H is Greek and the h is not, they are estranged husband and wife--to his family's delight. For some reason, they are on his family's villa, where there is a woman he intends to marry once he divorces the h. In one particular scene, the H and h are in the study, making love while people are looking for them. In this book, the H is engaged to that other woman. After the study, the H takes that other woman in his fast car. This book isn't the Markonos Bride.

I appreciate your help in finding each of these books! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

boogenhagen | 306 comments book #1 sounds like The Stud by Barbara Delinsky

#2 may be The Greek Tycoon's Pregnant Wife Anne Mather


message 3218: by Shayla (new)

Shayla (redsonja84) | 12 comments This was posted in an FB group, and now I want to read it too!

Iread a book long, long ago that might've been an 80's Harlequin Presents. It was a Greek Tycoon book, I believe. The heroine of the tale was living on an island with her grandparents and they decided to go out fishing on their boat. They find themselves stranded and dying of exposure. Grandparent sacrifices themself in the middle of the night while the girl sleeps because their water was nearly gone. Greek Tycoon finds the girl and saves her, sends her to a beautiful place to recover and possibly becomes her guardian. Later, they realize their affection for one another, or he's pushed to realize his love for her by his glamorous current fling of the moment (sort of like in Sound of Music). Anyway, does this book ring any bells? I really want to find it again.

This sounds like The Girl from the Sea - except I think it was a great Aunt who sacrificed herself and I don't think Hero was Greek.


message 3220: by crazy1bad (new)

crazy1bad | 102 comments Hi. Please help me to find this one. The H inherits a hotel from his aunt on an island. The h makes a horrible figure of trash from the sea by the hotel. The H wants to remove it. The h wants to become a sculptor and have to send her work to a university. The heroes make a deal. The H poses nude for the h and she makes a sculture that she will send to a university. When the sculpture is finished she will remove the figure at the hotel.

Ana (enali) | 27 comments Hello dear readers!
I’m looking for two books that are part of a series of harlequin presents.
h1 works as a secretary for Hero. h1’s sister come to h1 job to bring her something and Hero sees her and it’s love at a first sight… (I think sister is dyslexic but I’m not sure). Sister and Hero start dating and they fall in love, marry etc. But secretary in depressed because she thinks she loves hero sooo much. And there is hero’s best friend/cousin that is known playboy who works also in hero’s company and he is in love into h1/secretary. So, he convinces heroine/secretary that they need to act as if they are dating and he takes heroine/secretary to his island where he’s working on opening some big hotel and he needs her help. Later heroine/secretary falls for cousin and they all live happily ever after!

Haven't found it but I'm going slowly through my Read list, hoping that it's somewhere in my unshelved books.

I think the book is from around 90's and 00's. I think the H and h are together only because she's pregnant, can't remember if they married or not.

crazy1bad | 102 comments Help to find.
1. The h's sister asks her to look after a cottage. The H visits her to find out where his brother is. His brother is h's sister's boyfriend. The h has never seen sister's boyfriend and thinks the H is him. They spend some days at the cottage while waiting for one of their siblings. The h falls in love with the H and feels guilty because the H let's her believe he is her sister's boyfriend.
2. The h is a companion of romance novelist lady on a cruise. They are staying at a hotel. That woman likes attention from men. The h meets the H that later offers her a job after the novelist throws her out.
3. The h works at a PR company and is engaged to the CEO or co-worker. They have decided to buy their own house before the wedding. So they find the house they want to buy. One time when the h is alone at the house she meets the rancher/businessman H. I think he didn't want to let the h and her fiance buy the house for some reason. Later the h met the H's mother that lives at the same place and the H became upset because he thought she would make his mother sad or something. Turned out the H's father left his mother for ow that I think may have lived at the house the h wants to buy.

It's not Love Child. I don't remember if the H had ever been married. The h is a widow with a young son. Her husband died in a car accident and the son was injured in same accident. The boy needs an operation and she can't afford it. She answers an ad that the H places looking for a surrogate.

There was a Kim Lawrence book where she was kinda grubby and waiting in the lobby and the secretary wouldn't let go up and did not believe her about the H, then he came down and saw her and his entire staff was shocked. I can't find it tho.

In the Marriage secret by Kim Lawrence (a short) the security guard at the hero's company wouldn't believe the heroine because the H's ex-wife still worked at his company so the guard didn't know the H divorced and re-married.

Your description matches what I'm looking for but I don't think it's a Carole Mortimer, I avoided her since I read The devil's price so I've read very few from her. I'll check them. Thanks.

I think you can also email harlequin to ask. A friend of mine did that about 10? years ago. They must have a secret database (or something) because from her vague description they were able to find the book.

Fanniny Moreno Zavaleta | 99 comments I want to add another two books I'm looking for besides the one with the miscarriage (which I'll so originally name Book 1)... again I just remember one scene at both.

In Book 2, the h is walking/shopping/touring around the H's village/small town/island and is confronted by OW (can't remember if she's an ex or just a wannabe) and afterward, the h thinks/says that the H was so wonderful that he could do better/deserved more than his usual bimbos, that he shouldn't settle for said empty relationships. Or something for that effect.

In Book 3, I'm so ashamed for only remember this but, here it goes... in the epilogue or last chapter the h gives/is about to/promises a BJ to H but the important part is that the h has her ulterior motives, she wanted something from the H's company and the H thinks/says he'll give her the entire company if she asks like that. Or something for that effect.

I don't think anything older than 90's BTW, but most probably 00's.

Ania | 1 comments Hi readers :)
I'm looking for harlequin maybe present. I think it's not old. It's about a man who need to change his image if he want to replace his dad and be chairman. He has a problem with corporation's management which doesn't trust him. So he pretend engagement. He even organize with his fiencee a party for corporation's management. I think the party didn't go very well because he argue with fiencee and the atmosphere wasn't good. Thanks for help.
