Help! I can't remember the name of this book...
Hi all, I am looking for a harlequin book.Hero lost his parents early on. He took responsibility of his siblings and was busy raising them. Didn't have much time for anything else. Now all his sibling have grown up and left home. He want to leave a life of free and single man. He meets heroine and is attracted to her. They sleep together and she ends up pregnant. Hero is not happy to be responsible for another kid so soon. So there is conflict. But he comes around during the book.

@Tmstprc A Late Loving by by Robin Donald has a story line similar to this.

Can anyone make a recommendation of a book where the H emotionally supports the h in confronting or dealing with an ex (usually when they try to slither back into the h's life) that jilted or hurt them in the past?

Thank you, I've read Don't Ask Me Now and love it. I'll check out Outback Heat. Looks good! (and I like the dress the heroine is wearing on the cover, too. What a color)

The Greek Tycoon's Virgin Wife Stalker is her ex
@Neri - we all dress like that here ;)

The heroine's dad is horrified when the truth comes..."Could it be The Husband Trap. It has a similar plot. I don't think there was any deal between the H and the h's father.
Hi all, asking for a friend...Does anyone know of a book where the heroine leaves her husband, the hero, because the OW, who is a family friend is absolutely horrible to her, but none of her in-laws are willing to believe her? Her FIL threatens to have her committed to the psych ward if she does not stop with the accusations. So she runs away in fright.
The only one who believes her is the hero's younger brother whom the OW does not keep up her 'nice' act with and so he has seen her dark side since the beginning.
Some additional points: (that my friend is not totally sure of)
1. The OW might have caused the heroine to miscarry her child
2. The OW kicks the hero's brother's dog

Thank you and sorry for the late reply. I had seen this and went to get His Mistress with Two Secrets since Dani Collins is a growing favorite for me. Absolutely loved it and so any bonus things I like in there, too.
All the more reason to finally go to Australia, lol! (I spent a year in NZ and never popped over...) Perhaps I really need to go, too, because that book was a scorcher! (Thank you for the rec, Marina!!)

It's a trope I love across the board (whether it's a dweeb of an ex or the H in obsessed mode) and in all flavors from romance to outright thriller/suspense. Very much a guilty pleasure!
Hello guys☺I am looking for two books that I read in the past but i forget the titles I have looking for these books by no result so far;
#1Plot: Heroine think hero is cheating with ex wife if I'm not mistaken they work together. But it's turn out hero had a MOC with the ex he married with her because she was pregnant with his brother child and they never consumed the marriage
#2Plot -Step-sibling romance(hero mother and heroine father married) heroine disappeared after she discover her father relationship she thought he was cheating on her mom.
Thank you in advance!!

Hi everyone. This is a vintage Mills and boon. The h is a model who thinks her parents are dead. Her grandma is a fashion designer. She models for her Granny and she sees the H in the audience and just gets hit with a thunderbolt. Then the h is taking a shower in her apartment which is apparently unlocked including the bathroom and the H walks in on h naked. H is her father's partner in the ranch, who is sick and wants to meet the h and Granny explains that the h's dad is not dead. So, h goes with the H meet her till then unknown father and continues to makes a cake of herself over the H. There is also an OM who causes some trouble and our h is so gullible that she immediately believes the OM instead of talking to the H about it. I think it could be about some property issue where the h thinks that the H only wants to marry her to own her property. However, in the end the H rescues the h and everything is explained.
Does anyone remember reading this book?

Hi trying to remember this book. The heroine’s brother sunk the Hero’s boat and I think makes her marry him to make up for it

I looked at the heroine's revenge list but couldn't find anything other than Sally Wentworth's Judas Kiss and Carole Mortimer's A Past Revenge that really scratched this itch: are there any HPs, preferably older ones, where the heroine is excessively cruel to the hero who keeps coming back for more (because he's smitten/snared, of course)? The opposite way is a dime a dozen, but I do love a good "heroine gets plastic surgery or loses a bunch of weight or just grows into her figure or it was too long ago and hero doesn't recognize her but she sure as hell recognizes him and has whittled a very sharp bone to stab him with for how he treated her in the past."
@Se: I have been reading the stalker books you posted and this may be a response to reading too many of them back-to-back, LOL. But then again, I've always loved to see an h behave as badly as an H.

Hi All. I am looking for a book where h and H are married but having trouble in the marriage as h is always giving priority to her brother who is a troubled teen getting into scrapes . At one point H asks h to choose between him and her brother and h still rushes to her brother. But she comes back from half way realising her mistake only to ring H kissing his ex. ..and the she flees and disappears and the rest of the book is how the H is searching for her etc etc …..I think is is a Jennie lucas book but can’t remember the name.and somewhere in the book us a line. Where hero is thinking that he has to find his very hurt English wife reply | edit | delete | flag *

Hi all, this is very vague but I remember just this one scene.The heroine (who is an academic of some sort) arrives at the hero's (who is the ruler of some sort) Kingdom. She get very offended when she finds out/infers that the place/building/wing she's living in is the harem and comments on how inappropriate it is for her to be housed there. She is later informed that the place (which may or may not formerly have been a harem) is actually one where women studying while living away from their families are provided safe accommodation, and is actually the most appropriate place for her to be staying.
Trying to remember a book. Starts (maybe prologue) with H & h meeting, love/lust at first sight, I think she is employee at his ranch which is probably in Argentina or somewhere in South American. I think they meet while she is horse riding, H starts flirting immediately. Not sure if they were actually married or having affair.In chapter two or three, the h wakes up in hospital - pretty sure in London. h has had brain surgery and was in a coma, maybe hit by car, H initially couldn't find her. She had run away from H for some reason. I think the book goes back and forth a bit between current and past.
There is confusion about a pregnancy with h believing she lost baby but near the end discovers she is still pregnant. I would guess book no older than 2000. I initially thought the h has amnesia, on reflection, I'm not so sure, I might have been confusing coma and hospital.
It is NOT The South American's Wife.

At I guess I would say one I'm looking for is older than 2012. I put some additional detail in original post.

Did you ever find this book?
I'm trying to remember the name and author of a book where the h is a widow with a child and her late husband died in a plane crash. She meets a new man and, for a moment, she is reminded of her husband but then dismisses it as he has different coloured eyes. In the end, the new H and the husband are the same person. I think the picture on the cover had the H wearing an eye patch.

Do you remember any more? Maybe part of series? In The Sultan's Harem Bride h is writing a book on history of harem. I remember the scene you describe but need to narrow down book. Will search again on my Kindle. Too many hits on "harem"
