savage betrayal by lynne graham has similarities to your description. the similar points are that leads meet after years in convention where Hero is giving speech and he knows h is gonna be there.

h has their daughter secret and she is living with her sister in their farmhouse

H n h parted due to misunderstanding but hero thinks h has stolen money and thats why she vanished years ago

willaful | 344 comments "1. h is English I think, lives in small village. She gets a new neighbour. He turns out to be some famous (American?) moviestar. She can't trust that he really wants her. At the end of the book she goes to London (?), there is an awardshow. She almost splits, but he catches her in the street. She gets all dressed up and goes to the awardceremony with him."

I'm pretty sure this is Untamed by Carole Mortimer by Carole Mortimer.

I hope you're still reading!

Putri Septiana (69chibikuro) | 1 comments Hi I'm looking for a book where the heroine's name is Crystal. She's some kind of cook celebrity and currently write a cook book in a country where she met the hero. I don't remember the hero's name though. And if I'm not mistaken, the hero doesn't like/approve the heroine. It's an old release harlequin, maybe some 10 years back.


message 1155: by Michelle (new)

Michelle | 8 comments Need help locating a book. Heroine and hero were dating but hero had either family member or close friend that was very jealous of the relationship. There is a scene between the three of them when the hero basically chooses the friend/family member. Heroine had recently discovered that she was pregnant. Hero did not know. Heroine leaves her apartment for a few months to heal from the situation and I think puts her apartment on the market and only comes back when it was sold? And as she comes back hero shows up and starts to apologize. I could be mixing up some of the details here but that's kind of what I remember. Anyone know what book this is?


message 1156: by Jacqueline J (new)

Jacqueline J | 267 comments I asked about this book here several years ago and got no joy so I thought I'd ask again since we have new members. Hope you all don't mind.

The book I'm looking for is about a mistress. The beginning of the book has her unknowingly saying something to the hero's sister that causes her to go out and get injured in a wreck. The hero throws the heroine out onto the street. That's all I remember and it's been driving me crazy for years. I hope someone can help.


message 1157: by Tia (new)

Tia (tiamaria) | 6 comments Think it is an older or vintage HP but the hero meets the heroine and has a night with her, then he leaves to marry another woman or because she wasn't good enough, something along those lines. Heroine finds out she is pregnant soon after and goes to stand on a bridge. Some guy stops his car and tells her not to jump, they end up getting married and she ends up having twins. Then the other guy who married her, dies and suddenly the hero is back in the picture.

I have read this book and I don't think it was that long ago. Drat I can't find it though. Maybe if I had shelved it by "didn't jump off bridge" I could put my fingers on it. ;-)

Jacqueline J | 267 comments Aisha,
Thanks but that's not it. I've read that one not too long ago.


message 1162: by Maddux (new)

Maddux I have an odd one that I cannot find. I never read it, but I did read the promo summary for it in the back of a novel, probably early to mid 1990s.

---------
The Hero is a carpenter/roofer who sings opera from the rooftops that he works on. This is how the heroine comes to know of him.
---------

And that's all I can think to remember of it. It sounded stupid interesting - because a hot carpenter that sings opera? I could read that.

Anyone ever heard of/remember this one? It could have been a Harlequin or Silhouette.

THANKS! -Maddux

message 1172: by Xanti (new)

Xanti | 3 comments I have looked for this HP for years. I think it is 1990 or older. The hero has a mistress and they are happy together. But one day the hero decides it is time he married and tells his mistress he will look elsewhere for a wife, implying she isn't good enough. He breaks up with her and then discovers he was truly in love with her and wants her back as his wife. But he had hurt her badly; she's not sure she wants him now. Can anyone tell me the title of this HP?

This one is from 2004, but it may be the one you are looking for.

Tempestuous Reunion & Raging Passion are two older HP s that deal with an H who thinks his mistress isn't "good enough" to marry.


message 1175: by Sudakshina (new)

Sudakshina Hi! I can't remember the name of this book. Please help me find the name of this book. It is not a Vintage.

The heroine tells hero she is pregnant with his baby. Hero marries her. But we are later told there was no baby. She wasn't pregnant. The hero feels trapped and resents her. The heroine's parents threw a party where the heroine seduces the hero. This is all that I remember.

Oh yes! It is indeed The Millionaire's Marriage by Catherine Spencer. Wohoo! Thank you, Leona.


message 1178: by Xanti (new)

Xanti | 3 comments KatieV-
"Tempestuous Reunion" isn't the book, but "Raging Passion" sounds much closer and its being 1985 also fits well. Amazon doesn't have it in an ebook, but I will scout out a paper copy from them. I'm not sure this is the correct title as I have a vague remembrance of the picture on the front which is different. However, this is closer than I've gotten in many years. Thank you!

There's definitely plot elements similar to The Innocent's Surrender by Sara Craven. The h had a successful business, the H was names Alex (he was Greek though). He also spied on her in a pool in the beginning. There's definitely a revenge/blackmail element too.

There are elements of this that remind me of Maya Banks' Wanted by Her Lost Love. It's not an HP, but is in the Hqn line I think.

message 1189: by Jyothi (new)

Jyothi | 53 comments Hi,

I am unable to recall the name of this book which I am sure was solved on just this forum a few months ago. The h's father had some business (a shipping business I think) and she is married off to the H who wants her in exchange for the business. I remember the h wanted to be a nun. There is a lovemaking scene in which the h gags on being touched by the H. There is a rape scene too I think. I remember a kissing scene below the mistletoe in the end I think. Plzzzz help. Am sure someone else wanted the book name and they did get it. I tried going back in this thread but somehow haven't been able to locate it.

Pras Thad | 8 comments Hi All, I am new to this group and I am glad I found this. This is really good.

I am looking for a book, I dont remember the name, but the story goes like this. I think the girl's name is skyler or something like that I am not sure. She has a boy with an Italian. But the guy lets go of this girl because he thinks she cheated or something like that. The guy's father knows about this girl and her son, but he doesnt like them, so he sends them away. The girl has a step father who took money from the guy's father and cheats her. (She doesnt know anything about this). But the guy finds our years later from his brother who was dying, that this girl had his baby and his father sent her away. This guy comes and apologizes to her and they get back, the guy has an apartment in Bondi beach, something like that. If anyone remembers this book please let me know. Thank you,
