Rie | 18 comments Hi all! Looking for two related books

In the first book, the hero is Greek but I believe was the product of his mother's affair with a Scandinavian father? He and the heroine have fertility issues and adopt... either the baby or the heroine is named Eve? I remember it because there was no miraculous pregnancy to fix the issues

The second book was a marriage in peril & the heroine is the half sister of the hero of the previous book. At some point she meets her brother and the hero confronts her suspicious meeting with another billionaire man.

I think I have these…and loved them both!
No Longer Forbidden? and More Than a Convenient Marriage? & No Longer Forbidden?

In the first one they are step bother and sister, parents got together and neither child apparently liked each other - they do now of course! Fertility issues are because she was a dancer and underweight for most of her life.

H from first book has a half sister who is heroine of 2nd book. She proposed a marriage of convenience to H and they both have secrets…..

Jr C | 1 comments there is an older harlequin book i’m trying to find there is a specific scene in it where the secretary/other woman breaks perfume in the husbands car and the wife smells it even after the husband tries to clean it out, i believe while one the way to see family but she was trying to separate from him.

addicted2romance | 1 comments I’m looking for a Harlequin Presents (I think) book I read years ago. It was published in the 1980s or 1990s.

Heroine is a tall gorgeous blonde name Cathy/Cindy I think, an American. She’s pretending to be engaged to a guy named Mike in a wheelchair (I think).

She visits his family and meets his stepbrother (I think) who is the hero. I think his name is Rafe. The hero thinks she’s a gold digger but falls in love with her anyways but dislikes/hates her.

She leaves that family home in the end but after a few months tries to find him.
The last scene is that she finds him on a beach, and he’s lost weight and looks very gaunt (his bony hipbones are mentioned) because he’s suffering without her and he realized the mistake he made.

They embrace and it’s HEA.

Thanks!!

Pinkz11 | 7 comments I can't remember the name of this book or even the author's name so please bear with me.

In this story the H/h were either dating or were curious about each other in the past. The H used to work/still works for the h's father and is among the higher ranks in his organisation or he currently runs his own company and is still on good terms with h's father. The H/h were separated and the h moved to a different country and has now come back with a child, it isn't her child but H doesn't know that. I'm not sure about this but I think that due to circumstances the H/h have a marriage of convenience/pretend to be in a relationship.

I don't think it's a harlequin book but I might be wrong,at first I thought that it was Kiss an Angel by Susan Elizabeth Phillips since I thought the cover looked familiar but the blurb doesn't match.

I'm going a bit stir crazy finding this book and would very much appreciate the help. Thanks.

Sophia Hardy-Weinberg | 13 comments Hello, everyone. It's been a while. I hope everyone is ok.

I'm looking for a book (probably a Harlequin Presents/Mills & Boon Modern, but it may also have been released under the Harlequin Desire or Harlequin Romance series) originally published between the years 2000 and 2020.

I can't recall much about the plot. All I can remember is that the Hero is a shipbuilder or some kind of shipyard owner. He's looking for the blueprint of a new boat/sailboat/yacht/ship that is in the possession of the female protagonist. Her uncle is the designer of this new boat, and he's out of the picture during the unfolding plot (my guess is that he's sick, or in jail, or even already dead). She's also a boat designer.

Unfortunately, that’s all I could remember.

Many thanks in advance.

Bethany (alaskagirl) | 7 comments I am racking my brain for an old Harlequin where the H is a MMA fighter and the h, is, of course, rich and a little prissy. I'm a little fuzzy on all the details, but I think they might have know each other when they were younger but she went on to marry rich and that upset him, of course. Sorry, I know that's not much to go on.

Michelle | 2 comments Hi everyone, I am trying to find the book which i had read ages ago (maybe in 1996/1997). If my memory serves me right, the heroine was an editor and the hero was a writer but used the pseudonym of an older woman. The heroine goes in search of this writer whom she thinks is an old lady. The hero knows she is looking for him but humors her around playfully misleads her until eventually she discovers his identity. The ending his he writes a book on their love story and goes to her in the city asking her to write the ending (meaning waiting to see if she accepts his proposal) ... I dont know why i remember this story :-)

Tawn | 2 comments Hello here :)
I'm looking for a Harlequin or Silhouette book, please help if you can. Thank you

These are facts I remember

1. The couple is estranged but not divorced, I think.
2. The wife has a secret baby. The husband is not aware but her siblings are.
3. The wife went to stay with her siblings which is how she reconnected with her husband
4. The baby and husband have the same colour of eyes. I think...blue
5. The wife is a bit on the plus side, just a bit
6. The story is set during the holidays-- I remember dumplings and cold from the winter
7. The husband has a habit of cooking for two even though he lives alone
8. Even after reconnecting with his wife, the husband wasn't quick to realise the child was his.
9. The Husband really likes his wife's legs? Or hair? Not particularly sure.
10. It's a HEA

Bethany (alaskagirl) | 7 comments FOUND: Tempting Lucas by Catherine Spencer

Hello all of you amazing fellow Harlequin readers! I'm looking for an older Harlequin. The H is a doctor and stuck up with it. The h has unrequited feelings. In the 3rd act she contracts Hantavirus. She mentions not feeling well several times to family and the H, but the H basically tells her to quit being dramatic and trying to get his attention. The morning following a party, her aunt finds her in her bed extremely ill and 'gurgling.' H feels immense guilt, of course. I know I have it but could someone give me the name?

Tempting Lucas by Catherine Spencer. It's been years since I read it, but I believe her grandmother lived next door to the heroes mother. I think the heroine became pregnant as a teenager and had a miscarriage. The father of the baby was the hero, and I don't think he knew of the baby or miscarriage.

message 6883: by KimReads (new)

KimReads | 35 comments Looking for a book about stepbrother/sister. Quite an old one if I remember correctly.

There is a scene near the beginning where he visits her at her home and I think she has one of the neighbours round. He is mean to or about the neighbour and later admits it was jealousy.

His mother is married to her father. I think they both end up at the parent’s house and are somehow found together, maybe in bed?

The mother has some kind of illness and at some point is in hospital and at death’s door. I think there is a marriage between H and h because if mother is happy she is more likely to survive…..

If I remember correctly the h thinks the H has persuaded an actor friend to do the service so she thinks it’s fake but it actually isn’t?

The father is rich and may have offered his company to the H as the h isn’t interested, but she then thinks the H only married her for the company?

There’s lots of to-ing and fro-ing from the hospital while all three - H, h and father - are avoiding each other.

Any ideas?

Bethany (alaskagirl) | 7 comments Hi all! Looking for another book. The H has a 13 yr old daughter. I remember a convo between the h and his daughter. The daughter is complaining about her father and the he replies with "You father isn't the type of man people like. They either love or hate him." The H overhears and says something like "And which type of person are you?" or words to that effect. h responds with "The jury is still out." or something similar. IDK why that scene is so stuck in my head. I just found it kind of memorable and a great way of describing people who evoke strong emotions. Also, the H having children previous to meeting the h isn't super common in HPlandia. The h and the daughter have a good relationship. Daughter isn't crazy or trying to run off the h as far as I can recall.

As is normal with Harlequin Presents . . . the H is rich and I'm thinking the h is a teacher or in a nanny type position? Sorry, I know that is not a lot to go on.

Sofia | 1 comments Hi everyone, I'm trying to find a novel I read when I was a teenager. I think it was published in the 90s. I don't remember the title or the author, and I don't remember the names of the characters.
I think that when the female character was younger, she worked on an island (I'm not sure, but I think it was Mallorca), where she met the male character (a spanhish guy for a ritch family), but they broke up. I think his family accused her of theft or something, and she went back home - London I think. Some years later, she went back to the island and met the guy again.

Hi everyone, I’m looking for a book but I just remember one scene: the heroine is leaving the hero and as she walks to the car the hero tells her that if she leaves she cannot take their child with her and she says she knows. He is stunned. I don’t recall if she is seriously leaving or trying to make the hero open his eyes.

Poorvi | 302 comments Please help me find these books with similar premises:
1. The MCs are married and the MMC has amnesia. The FMC takes care of him and they slowly fall in love before the MMC regains his memory and realises that he actually hates the FMC and had married her to get revenge of some kind.

2. The MCs are married, and the MMC has been missing for some time after some kind of incident at sea. He is rescued by some islanders but has lost his memory, so he just continues living there. When the FMC finally finds him, she interrupts his wedding to the daughter of the man who rescued him.
