This rings a bell in my mind which makes me think that it might be a Lynne Graham because I'm a pretty heavy reader of LG. I'll do some searching. But then again, I could just be crazy... ;-)

Maleka asked about this book on the intro thread:
Can anybody help with the name of this books. I found in another Blog:
Looking for this book I read back in the mid 90's. I think it was from the 80's.
H was a CEO and wanted a baby, but didnt want to get married or adopt do he decides to find himself a surrogate from his executives. Calls a board meeting and asks his friend to bring in his baby. During the meeting the baby starts to cry. All other executives are embarassed and look at the friend who is trying to make the baby stop crying. The H walks over and takes the baby and gets him to quieten down by undoing her bracelet and dangling it like a mobile in front of the baby. From that gesture the H believes that he has found the right woman. He takes the H to dinner and explains his plan to her. She agrees. Dont remember much except that the H as two dogs black labs? called Napoleon and Josephine.

H/h meet on an island and fall in love (probably only the guy at this stage).
Some idyllic time is spent after which the h walks out on the Hero.
Sometime later they meet again in the corporate world and the hero actually turns out to be pretty rich (not the peasant he had earlier claimed to be)
Rest of the story follows with a HEA.
Any help in recalling the book's title would be appreciated.
I have tried other forums as well.
Hopefully I will find it.
TIA

I can only think of Pleasured by the Secret Millionaire but I don't think they meet again in the corporate world- the hero's a doctor so doesn't sound like your book.

Fisherman hero turns out to be Greek billionaire who saves the day.


@ Verity: I will read The Tycoon's Mistress once to see if its the one.
I remember the back cover blurb of the book had words like "she met him on the other side of the desk " or "the other end of the world".
I tried googling but no results! :(
Thanks you guys for your responses.

all of these have something like what you mentioned, but not all....any other details would help

Even though the h leaves the H There is no theme of betrayal in the book. That crosses out The Tycoon's Mistress
Its also not The Greek's Secret Passion or Island Enchantment
I will check the others out. Thanks for the response.

Also, the no betrayal makes me wonder if it is an HP...hahaha

any help will be appreciated. thank you so much :)

The book you are looking for is "The Morning After" by Michelle Reid but you have some of the facts wrong.
The H's b-i-l tried to rape the h but people thought that she was seducing him. The h has a half brother but people think they are lover. The H's cousin is in love with the h's brother and wants the h out of the way.
The Morning After (Forbidden!)

WOW!thank you soo much.HAHA.i guess my memory is just bad :) thanks a LOT! :)

I don't know Lady Danielle. Looks like the hero has a mullet. Still all the melodrama it sounds like this book has might overcome the total unsexiness of the cover. :-)

I think a mullet is *pretty* hard to overcome!

Darn those mullets. It seems as though they were fairly common in the 80-90s.
--one of my favorite books ever!



I eventually found it and thought I would share it with it you all. One of my favorite Penny Jordan's.

Now to track it down. Any suggestions? No luck on the kobo website, my public & online library or Harlequin.com.


I always forget about Amazon. Thanks again for the tip.

This book sounds interesting. I hope someone can come up with title/author.

The book is an anthology Marriage by Design: Dear Fairy Godmother / Marriage on the Run / Don't Tell Grandfather / The Enchanted Bride by Cathy Gillen Thacker. The specific story is Don't Tell Grandfather.
I don't get credit, an anonymous lurker (possibly The Shadow, as in only The Shadow Knows) emailed me with the info. So no prizes for me except it's nice to have good friends.

I am not sure how it works or if it will, as I have a Kobo, but let's give it a whirl.
I'll pm my deets soon!
THANK YOU so much for your kindness!

"there was a lady who fell in love with the guy from the family her mother
worked for as a house help. the guy had to leave to go school (i think)
and the lady found out she was pregnant. she wrote him a letter telling
him that she was pregnant, and when she went to post it, one of his family
friend who wanted him for herself told her that she would post it for her
but she didn't. instead she gave it to the guy's father and the father
paid her to have and abortion. the lady didn't and left her home because
she felt abandoned even her mother sided with her employer on the
abortion. 10 yrs later ( i think) the lady had to go back and look after
her mother only to meet with her former lover and her son's father but she
didn't tell him that she had her son. the guy whose name is Jason ( i
think) eavesdropped on her talking to her son and she signs of by telling
him " I love you" but her jumps to the conclusion she is talking to her
current boyfriend and he gets all jealous"

I hope you can help with the following book search. It is a Harlequin Presents book.
The heroine calls out for "Bobby" in her sleep and the hero gets jealous because she said another man's name. It turns out that she was dreaming about her brother who died. The brother might have been a paraplegic or had some other debilitating desease, not sure though.
Someone on another board suggested a Carole Mortimer book but that is not it because I never read that particular CM book but I did read a book with that scene. I am pretty sure that it is either a Michelle Reid or Lynne Graham book. Other possible authors would be Jacqueline Baird and Sarah Morgan.
I think I read it between 2000-2009.
I've been going through my books but no luck so far so I thought to ask for your help and thank you in advance.
Thank you for trying to help.
Jenny

Thanks for the offer, Meg. I found a copy. I might take you upon one of the other MRs. I'm trying to collect all her in paper, if I can.

I am buying some of the ones that come out in Harlequin Treasury for my Kindle, but I like to have a paper copy of my favorites. I'm weird like that!
