Help! I can't remember the name of this book...

Yep, that's it thanks and that was the problem, my Kindle will "un-archive" it now I know name. must find out how to stop that happening. Thanks :)

THANKS a lot It's the book I'm looking for.

Glad I could help. I wanted to "throttle" the H in that one. He was awful to the h.


A few suggestions but I'm not confident.
sounds a bit like His Unexpected Legacy except child is boy SiL is doctor OR
The Surprise Conti Child h goes to see H and tells him about his daughter. OR
The Vengeful Husband no doctor sister. H is father to h's daughter

I am looking for a book where the heroine jumps out of cake as a surprise for the hero's grandfather and the hero is instantly hooked with the heroine and mistake the heroine for hero's grandfather mistress.If anyone remember the book with above story premises,reply please

Desire Has No Mercy is an OG revenge book!

Yeeeees that's the one, thanks a lot!

Finally found it; Thank you so much!!

-The first one, something happens between H/h, i don't know if she was his mistress or just had a crush on him,they separate but they meet years later either in Rome or Athen while the heroine is visiting the city with some friends, he actually sees her while she's touring the city, it was a dream she always had
It's either an italian or greek romance



I think his first meeting with his son occurred in the heroine's house or her backyard/lawn. Not sure whether the hero barged into her house after somehow finding out he had a son. Or he was there by chance and saw the kid. Or they both discussed a set time/place for this meeting.
Also, I might be making this up, but I feel like there were butterflies or some other sort of pretty feature in the backyard. And the son really wanted to show the hero or they bonded over it.


Claiming His Own is Harlequin Desire series - fantastic book, part of series with The Sarantos Secret Baby, The Sarantos Baby Bargain and Twin Heirs to His Throne. They are all same family or friends.

Probably 80s or 90s. Hero runs/owns hotel on one side of the street, heroine runs/owns one on the other side. They have known each other all their lives and have rivalry due to being competing motels. Hero renovates his motel and encourages her to do the same but I don't think she can afford it (don't remember why, maybe mismanagement by daddy or something). Her motel has major issue - maybe fire? - and all the guests and heroine go across to stay in his motel and I *think* she agrees to sell motel to him and maybe the deal is she goes to work for him? (I *think*) I have a feeling her name was Lacey.
Thanks in advance!

yw - enjoy!

Any more info? How old is the book? Do you remember which country it was set in? I remember a similar intro but it was ducks.

Oh my god, yes yes, i looked for it everywhere, thank you so much!

yw - one of my favourite books, I must have read it about 20 times.

I think the hero maybe paid for her studies at sme point,or knew her family,maybe she had a sick mother/father fr a long time, and could only achieve her dream of traveling after their deaths

Cool. Thanks!
Cool. Thanks!


I probably read it in the early 1980s. Young woman goes to work as housekeeper for a surly scientist. Her parents and brother/s are scientists as well. She uses fake glasses to utterly obscure her beauty, and wears dowdy clothes. I particularly remember an ongoing argument about leaving her car parked on the street and it running down her parking lights; they had to be left on overnight (not a requirement in US).




Thank you so much !!! It was one of my favorite books !! I could not remember the title !!!!

@ Holly I used the name Skye to search for possibilities and found The Italian's Stolen Bride. The premise seems to match and the cover seems familiar. I just borrowed my library's digital copy. I definitely think I've read it before. But I'm not sure if it's the book I'm looking for or if I conflated two books


Maybe The Virgin's Shock Baby I can think of a few books with similar premise.


You're welcome. Glad I could help.


Did she run him over with the car? If so, this one has a red porsche.
