Bola - Sounds a bit like... The Greek's Bridal Bargain
Still waiting for someone to help with this.The H is a friend to the h's brother. When they were younger, the H used to be a nerd with glasses and all, bookish too and slightly shy. So the h used to laugh at him and when the H once asked her out she mocked him and ridiculed him in-front of her friends. They lost contact when the H's family moved away or something like that. Then one day, H reappeared looking very handsome, successful and ready to save the h's family or her brother's business. The H used the offer of his help to blackmail her into marrying him or becoming his mistress, and then tormented her with all the past mockery and torment she subjected him to, until finally the h fell in love with him and the H finally confessed that he had loved her since they were young and had been working towards coming back to make her his.
Bola I want to read this one hiow anyone can help with title!!
This is not a HP but a historical romance but maybe someone can assist ... Hi; I need help to recall this title
This one is a historical
H is an Earl and his only relative is his grandmother
H captains his own ship and is on a last trip to America when he meets h; I believe she is on his ship
He takes her to her family; she is really naive and they end up sleeping together after which he leaves her behind
Naive h finds out from her cousin exactly how babies are made and is upset that H didn't even care that he could have left her pregnant
She also goes back to England shortly and somehow is employed as companion to H's grandmother
I think grandmother kept h with her as she felt this was the girl the H had once talked about or something
They connect and she tells him how he was uncaring enough to leave and she might have been pregnant
He feels guilty but she tells him she is not pregnant
They eventually marry and are living together when h's father comes back
It was because he was said to have died or left that she had to go to America to begin with
H assumes her father is her lover as they meet secretly a few times; she plans to tell H but he kicks her out
He finds out the truth later and runs to look for her
She is living with a maid in a cottage and when he enters the house she is in the kitchen and drops the flour bin she was holding
She was also pregnant; cannot recall if H had known when he kicked her out or he gets to know then
H has been brought up very strictly and is emotionally distant
h is gentle and very naive; she doesn't even know the process of making lov or how babies are made
I think his name was Jared while hers was Clara; but cannot be sure of this
also, while I did read this as a teenager in high school, sometime in the early 2000's but I have no idea when it was published; I borrowed from a friend so not sure if it was new or old at that time; the condition was fairly good so I assume it was not very old
Also the book did not give too many 'old skool' historical vibes ...
I do remember reading this one and roundabout the same year or maybe later, Kat Martin's Night Secrets and thinking them similar as in H's had travelled to America in their ships ...

Thanks Se but no, i haven't read any Melanie Melburn books. Could be a Mayo, she's so keen on revenge.

Hollie wrote: "Hi all, I'm looking for a book where the hero is Greek and the heroine is really light skinned possibly with red hair. They are out on a yacht and he keeps reapplying sunscreen on her obsessively. ..."I think I figured this out. After the Greek Affair if anyone cared. Not positive so in the private notes on my review I put fair skin gets a tan. But it had everything that I remembered so I guess it's tentatively solved.
I'm looking for the title of this story , they are identical twins one is more free acting and one is more serious. The more free one put her picture for a dating or escort service? but she can't make it so she call her sister to do it for her. So the sister decide to do it but to teach her sister a lesson she dress like a bag lady except for the shoes and when she meet the guy she found him handsome till he start talking to her. The hero what trying to find a girl to pass as his fiance. I read this a couple of years back and the hero was kind of full of himself.

The one you are looking for sounds like The Billionaire's Trophy but I don't think that's it, the escort is confusing me...
Maybe The Italian's Price -it's not the one I was thinking of though...will keep looking for the one I think you mean.

OR
Ruthless Magnate, Convenient Wife
I read an harlequin book long ago with the title "BODYGUARD", maybe someone can help with the author's name. The heroine was a twin and her twin sister married a mob man or a criminal boss, she and her twin sister switched places without anyone knowing about it, even her bodyguard who was an undercover agent unknowingly employed by the twin sister husband to protect her and her baby. The twin sister seems to be promiscuous and had once had an affair with one of her bodyguard. Now the h is on the run with her bodyguard because she begged her bodyguard to help her escape, so her husband who was abusive will not kill her. The bodyguard did not want to help, thinking the lady wanted to lure him and jeopardize his mission. But after getting clearance from his boss, they both took off with the baby with the twins sister's husband thugs chasing after them. While on the run, they started having feelings for each other, but the bodyguard was reluctant to act on the attraction, thinking she was another man's husband until she confessed the swap and then they went looking for the other twin who was not a very good person and not maternal.

No none of this ones are the one I'm looking Maybe if I clarify somethings, The heroine is a twin she is not shy or dress usually in a bad way, she is a hard working an usually dress good and is very responsible the other twin sister on another hand is kind of an air head, doing always crazy things, She send a picture of herself ( this is the part I don't remember to well if it was a mail order bride, date service or escort service) where the Hero see the picture and paid for the date. He was looking for someone to pretend to be his future wife or for a date in a wedding. Meanwhile the sister accept the contract but before the date she goes away to Fiji so she call the responsible sister to cover for her. she keep begging till the main heroine accept to go to the date but to punish her she decide to go to the date dress really bad, with big clothes, big glassed that cover her face but she didn't have ugly shoes so she decide to wear pretty shoes because she didn't think he will notice. When she see him she regret not dressing nice but when she interact with him she was happy she did. He was kind of mean. Later I don't remember if he turns out to be her new boss and she ends going as his fiancé and take a plane together to go to where he was suppose to go.

This is the only book I can think of with this theme. Full Recovery by Bobby Hutchinson.
Hey I need help with finding this book. It's a mills and boon about a interior designer and a tycoon. The h was designing someplace of the H when they slept together and she ran off. I think she was afraid of men especially rich men since she had a bad experience ( I think she was harrassed) by her stepfather ( or some one else ). she was a virgin. The hero found her and after much persuasion finally got her to marry him. Sorry that's all I remember.

There are a few sheikh books with similar theme. Any idea which country it was set?
Hello se mcgregor the hero was definitely a rich tycoon. The heroine was British but migrated to US to get away from some bad press and her family. She was in a play and she was daily harassed on set and there was a public scandal that made headline. Because of that she changed her name. She really did not like the H because she heard he was a womaniser. As the pervious young designer that worked for her company left the job because of romantic feelings towards him. He later said that the first designer was young and foolish and she imagined herself in love with him. Their was also an annoying other woman. They got together was soon engaged but she was hesitant and afraid of commitment. A guy at her firm liked her too. Hope that helps. I read this book long ago it may be an 80's or 90's book.

Thank you boogenhagen that is the book. Thank you!
UPDATE: Nevermind. I found the book using some keyword searches. It's Bought by the Greek TycoonLooking for a book where heroine inherits a house (possibly on a Greek island?) from her aunt. Hero's father/grandfather used to live in that house ages ago but had to leave. Hero is determined to get the house back for his father/grandfather since there's a lot of sentimental value. Father/grandfather finds out that heroine will be inheriting it but realizes that she doesn't have any plan to sell. Eventually father/grandfather comes up with the plan for hero to either convince the heroine by dating her or to gain ownership by marriage. Hero goes along with the plan. He goes to a party where he's supposed to meet the heroine. Except I think he mistakes the heroine's sister/stepsister as the person he's supposed to charm. Sister/step-sister has been on date or two with the hero in the past so he thinks it'll be easy to get the property from her. His grandfather tells him he's wooing the wrong woman.
This is the part that's sort of hazy and I'm not sure about. I think when he sees the heroine, he realizes he's met her in the past. They either had a one night stand in the past or were almost about to? It's possible that heroine was a widow and grieving. But after she slept with or almost slept with the hero, she says that she's married. Again, not 100% about these last few details.
SOLVED - A High Price to PayI can't remember too many details of this book that I'm looking for. I believe that the Hero was introduced as the business partner of the heroine's father. I think it actually ends up being that the heroine's father is indebted to the hero. Or that the hero is paying off heroine's father's debts with some ulterior motive.
Heroine and family aren't aristocratic or anything but their name carries respect. Heroine's mother doesn't like the hero hanging around (maybe thinks he's beneath them?). I think either the heroine's father admits the truth that they're broke or dies causing the truth to be revealed.
It's possible that the hero is the new owner of the house too. Hero suggests marriage so that heroine's family doesn't have to leave the house and can keep up appearances. At this point, the heroine's mother is pushing her towards the hero.
I've already ruled out The Forced Bride by Sara Craven and The Greek Tycoon's Disobedient Bride by Lynne Graham which had some elements of the book I'm looking for

Hi, I only remember one scene so fingers crossed that it stuck with someone else. The heroine is a dress designer and the hero doesn't know. She sits down at the dining room table and there is another woman at the table too. The other woman gushes about the heroines dress and was well aware of the dress designer and then the heroine admits that it's her. I don't remember any other details.
