Help! I can't remember the name of this book...
I’m looking for a book that starts with a runaway wife who comes back to her husband because she needs help. The H has been waiting for her and he has now a long beard. He shaves after he is disappointed with the h and decides that they won’t be back together. After that he does help her with her problem. Maybe someone was kidnapped?

Thanks Neri, but it’s not really it. The one I am searching for is full of angst

Unfortunately - who knows why - the series stops at three books kinda leaving you hanging as to what happened with the other "Disgraced Copelands". Highly recommend the other part of the duo mentioned by Rom.
Hi all. Does anyone know this book. The heroine and the hero's brother are friends (I think they also live together) and he asks her to let him introduce her to his family as his girlfriend for reasons. When they go to meet his family, which includes the hero, the family raises concerns that the heroine might be a gold digger. But the brother starts laughing and tells them her family are American Oil Barons and wealthier than they are. I'm not sure, but I think she's a doctor by profession.

Hi I am looking for Harlequin book where the hero divorce his pregnant wife but shares the chid, and after the wife meet with an accident he decided to reconcile with her.
Hello everyone, Searching for a book I read 2/3 years ago, the heroine and hero was married. The heroine was in a accident with her daughter and son. The hero find the heroine and his daughter in the hospital and the son was missing. The heroine has no memory of her, how she was in a accident and what happened. The hero was very angry of her because he thought she cheated or something (cant remember). At the end, it was revealed that the evil twin of her was the wife of the hero and she was not guilty whatever her crime was. He divorced the evil twin and married her.
Anyone any Idea?
Hi all, please help me find this book.I remember very little. The hero and heroine are together in the hero's house. The heroine is there against her own wishes, the hero is forcing her to remain there for some reason. Towards the end, the hero tells her she's free to leave, and goes into his (office/study/some other room). The heroine is about to leave when she hears a loud crash and goes to investigate and finds that the hero threw something in in a sad rage because he thought she left. He didn't really want her to go, but felt he'd wronged her by forcing her to stay. That's all I remember. Does anyone know this book?
I’m looking for a non HP book and hoping maybe someone can help me figure out out the name of the book.. The heroine is coming out of a traumatic divorce or maybe her husband dies unexpectedly I can’t remember exactly. She’s absolutely exhausted and spends days and weeks sleeping recovering. The hero lives in the same apartment block maybe and they become friends. The heroine is processing her disastrous previous relationship and it turns out she was financially supporting her slimy ex by doing multiple jobs and taking care of the household chores. She might have been a writer. She wanted a baby but her ex denied her this and her ex cheated on her and wanted to take his share of her royalties or money in the breakup. The story is about how the hero brings her out of her shell and back to life by showing her the joy in life. He comes from a big family and has a few brothers. The story is set in New York I think. They have a passionate relationship. It could be an author similar to Judith Mcnaught or Jayne Ann Krentz. I,can’t remember much more. Any leads are greatly appreciated. Thanks

Maybe is Journey Into Love of Jessica Logan
Hi everyone. Looking for a book that is driving me crazy because details that I recall are a lot blurry. I even made a post about it on that other thread but with too many requests over there, I'm afraid mine will fall into oblivion.
As there seem to be several HP connoisseurs around this forum, I decided to made a post it here as well. Who knows, maybe someone will be able to figure out the puzzle.
It all started when I was looking for this book. Then I mixed up similar storylines from different books and ended up remembering other works until I finally made a mess in my brain LOL.
What I do know:
- It's a Silhouette/ Harlequin/ Mills & Boon Contemporary Romance.
- I believe it was originally published between the late 90's and the first decade of the 2000's. Give or take.
- It's a second chance romance. I cant't recall if they're a divorced or an estranged married couple, or even if they were high school sweethearts. What I'm sure is that they're no longer together in the current timeline.
- There's a scene where the male protagonist pays an unexpected visit at heroine's workplace, she gets distraught and sick, fails to reach the restroom in time and ends up throwing up on his expensive leather shoes.
- The female protagonist has an old lady friend who happens to be a doctor. Cannot remember if said friend is a GP, a shrink or an OB-GYN, but she knows the heroine’s medical history and provides counselling over the course of the story.
- I think the h is a jewellery designer but I'm inclined to believe that she also may be a fashion designer, an artist or some kind of artisan. What I do know is that she owns her own business/ workshop/ studio/ atelier.
What might be part of the plot, but I'm not so sure:
- Hero blackmails heroine into resume their relashionship. I'm not sure if he demands heroine to give him an heir or if he proposes they make a child in the old-fashioned way.
- Heroine dreams of being a mother but doesn't want to take a chance on a romantic relationship again. That’s why she starts to consider alternative routes to fulfil her wishes, such as going in pursuit of a donor in a sperm bank.
- I think she suffered a miscarriage in the past and I suspect their relationship didn't end up well at some point because of that fact.
- I entertain the idea that a (HIS or HER) powerful and evil father played an important role in their break-up, mainly because of their upbringing and class difference. I'm not sure if the hero starts off poor and the heroine lives comfortably and, when they meet again, he's no longer poor then. Or if she's the one from a humble background and he's a very rich guy.
It's none of those below:
Vows They Can't Escape by Heidi Rice
The Pregnancy Contract by Yvonne Lindsay
Bound as His Business-Deal Bride by Kali Anthony
Marriage on Demand by Susan Mallery
The Pregnancy Affair by Anne Mather
The Pregnancy Secret by Maggie Cox
The Greek's Marriage Bargain by Sharon Kendrick
If anyone could be of any assistance I would be very grateful.

I checked The Greek's Chosen Wife by Lynne Graham out and it's not the one, but thank you so much for the suggestion! It makes no mention of the only scene I remember with some sort of certainty. I'm referring to the one where the male protagonist pays an unexpected visit at heroine's workplace, she gets distraught and sick, fails to reach the restroom in time and ends up throwing up on his expensive leather shoes. I think she's already pregnant by that time or undergoing some form of fertility treatment.

Sadly, this isn't the one I'm looking for. Nor are the following:
The Markonos Bride by Michelle Reid
Pregnancy of Passion by Lucy Monroe
Contract with Consequences by Miranda Lee
The Marriage Renewal by Maggie Cox
I spent the weekend checking out lots of books and came to the conclusion that finding one from a monthly series like Harlequin is hard work, especially because many of them have similar plots.
I'm inclined to believe the scene I've described above belongs to a storyline and the elements involving the old friend/ lady doctor belong to another one. I don't know...
For a matter of reference, at the beginning of Stolen for My Spanish Scandal by Jackie Ashenden, there's a scene just like the one I mentioned in my other post.

Hello everyone! Looking for HP in which the hero and heroine are both professionnals (white collar) and happily married. One day the heroine sees him eating out with another pretty woman and then he lies about his whereabouts, making her think he might be cheating. She decides to test him by putting on a disguise and seducing him all over again. Pretty early though the hero recognizes her (duh) and lets himself be seduced. They have an "affair" and at the end the truth comes out with him dumbfounded (btw he never cheated). I remember almost every detail of this book except for the name or the author. Please help me as I'd like to read it once more. Thanks!

Found it!!! Honestly, I was about to give up looking for this one 'cause I wasn't sure if I got things mixed up.
It's The Baby Bonus by Metsy Hingle.
I can stop making myself crazy now. Thanks for all your suggestions and tips.

Hi, I’m searching for:HP or Silhouette from mid-to-late 1990s - I may be a bit off on the date, but I believe the cover was the white Harlequin Presents or the Silhouette white with gray stripes cover. I
don’t remember the author’s name.
Female MC’s name is Margaret or Meg, I think. The male MC’s name may be Ezekiel.
She’s a rural schoolteacher who lives with her mother or grandmother. He’s a local farmer she’s had a crush on, and he asks her to teach him how to read. They meet at her house for his lessons. A neighbor woman who is trying to gain his interest learns he’s visiting Meg/Margaret and spreads rumors, so he proposes marriage, supposedly to save Meg’s reputation.
I believe Meg/Margaret wore a pink nightgown or dress on the book cover.

Is it The Nesting Instinct by Elizabeth August?

He didn't tell his wife because he had no interest in the job he was being offered. When his wife asked where he had been, he lied and so she thought he had a romantic interest for the blonde. She decides to test him by wearing a disguise and calling herself Mary but he recognizes her immediately by her legs and thinks she's playing some kind of game. It goes on for a few weeks and I remember they have sex (in disguise) at a posh hotel. He just thinks it's a fun game, while she's devastated by his "betrayal". You have both pov during the whole book.

I hope someone can solve it.
The only thing I remember about this one is that the H is about to get married and so he goes to her mistress apartment and breaks up with her. After that he is sitting in his limo reading a newspaper. I hope someone knows!

Hello ladies and gents...I am looking for a book, unfortunately I do not know the title or the heroes' names in it. Some clues for you are maybe that was written around late 90s and allegedly is H Desire...it was from the thicker paged harlequin type of romance books at least...
Here is how story unfolds though:
There's these two rival sisters (maybe twins?) that fall in love with the same boy. Story first begins from their childhood, one sister seems to be the good character the other the evil, and the more promiscuous. The good sister firstly meets this young boy-cowboy in their neighborhood that gets reeeally fancinated of. She even fantasizes about him all the time.... There's this scene engraved in my mind, where that good sister and that cowboy get together under a tree and their first sexual tension unfolds. Very vivid scene.
The then bad sister, though, since wants attention (even though has plenty of from many suiters and boys) she just wants to ruin her sister's flame out of spite.
So the good sister backs down, silently longing for the boy, and the bad one forms a relationship with said boy. (I believe there is some unwanted pregnancy involved).
Then we are taken some years forward, where the good sister - heroine returns to hometown after many years looking for her evil sister (she was gone for a long time).
And this, now all handsome, much older cowboy, owner of some ranch, I believe, meets our heroine and takes community's responsibility of showing her around, settling her into a temporary home or something.
Rest is history, the spark is still there, some resolutions come to an end, as it seems he was always in love with her and the pregnancy news of him and heroines sister were completely false or something.
I do not recollect much about the ending but I do believe both sisters finally get together and patch things up. Also our good heroine and the hero-cowboy finally get together.
If anyone has any kind of clue, let me know because I am at wits end....
Kind regards Rafaella.
I’m looking for a book in which the h is a gold digger. She admits it and everyone knows she is. Thank you!

Please help me find this book:The Hero is in some kind of a legal battle. His lawyer warns him that for the next few weeks/months his public image needs to be squeaky clean. The heroine works in a hotel and is somehow tricked into being seen in a compromising situation with the hero by a relative of the person who is on the opposite side of the hero's legal case. So he coerces the heroine to either marry him or pretend to be his fiance for a little while. We find out much later that the legal case is over the custody of a child and the hero is quite desperate because the child's current guardians are bad people.
