The heroine is a stewardess. Her sister and her sister's husband
died in an accident. She was forced to marry the brother-in-law
of her sister in order to take care of their niece and nephew. On
their wedding day, her husband was surprised when he learned that
she's a virgin. She eventually fell in love with her husband. Her
husband has a problem verbalizing his feelings for her. As a child,
he saw how their mother controlled their father because he loves
her very much. Because of that, he's very careful when it comes
to showing his affection and love for the heroine. He fears that
she will use his love against him and try to control him the way
his mother controlled his father. In the end, the heroine got pregnant
and her husband eventually declared his love for her.

I am so hoping you can help me figure out the name of two different
romance novels. Each were featured as condensed books in Good Housekeeping
in the mid to late 80's. The first book was a historical romance
taking place in the Post Civil war era. It is about a girl from
the north who has an overbearing father who wants her to marry a
man she doesn't want to marry. This same man ends up raping her.
She decided to leave home and head for the South. I believe she
goes by boat and realizes she is pregnant along the way. She ends
up working for a Southern widower who has a mute daughter named
Jenny. I believe she is hired to take care of the little girl. Her
and the Southern gentleman get married but it is a marriage of convenience.
This is about all I can remember.
February # C3
The second book was a modern story about a girl who had grown
up with Amish neighbors and she had fallen in love with their teenage
son I believe his name was Adam. She ends up getting pregnant but
never tells Adam. I think the baby is given up for adoption. The
story starts with her returning to her family home and seeing Adam
again. This is all I can remember of this book. I have looked everywhere
but haven't been able to find anything on either of these books.
Any help would be super! Thanks!

I read this contemporary book about 11 years ago and it was in
a book with another story, I guess an anthology. In the story, a
woman's husband is an FBI agent and he leaves on a mission before
his wife can tell him that she is pregnant. He dies. About 6-9 months
later she is driving in Texas(I think) when she goes into labor
and has to pull over. A young man stops to help her and I can't
remember whether he delivers her baby or drives her to the hospital
where it is delivered. But later he is taking care of the mother
and baby and they begin to fall in love. However, the widow swore
never to get involved with men who have dangerous professions again
and he is a wildfire fighter or something.

I'm looking for a novel that I read in the 90s. I think it was
written in the late 80s/ possibly early 90s. It was a contemporary
set in Puget Sound. I remember the title being Love Match, because
the main character owned a dating service and was a matchmaker,
but all of my searches under this title have come up with nothing.
She even used a computer to make her matches, which is one reason
I think it was written in the late 80s/early 90s. She falls in love
with a sculptor. I believe he is Greek and his first name is Alexander.
His last name is something like Skupolos? He owns a boat which they
take sailing and end up spending the night on when the engine stops
and there is no wind. I want to say that her name is Abby or starts
with an "A" but I really can't remember that well. The
book I read was a red or pink hardback, but I didn't have a dust
cover. As far as I know it was a single title.

This is a Harlequin Superromance I read in the early 90s. Heroine
was a geologist working in her uncle's company. Was thrown out of
there and joined oil exploration company of an old friend of her
father. Hero is nephew of this man. Heroine is very short (in fact
she says in the book that she is legally a dwarf in US). There is
also a subplot regarding her mother and this old friend of her father.
Towards the end of the book heroine falls down some stairs and dislocates
her shoulder.

This is a Mills and Boon romance from 80s. Heroine is engaged to
be married and Hero is her fiance's brother. He is a hotshot journalist
who has recently written a best selling novel. Heroine owns a business
making hand-designed sweaters, I think. She makes the hero a sweater
with the devil on it. Hero claims that he and girl have spent a
noght together- his novel is based on this experience. Heroine cant
remember him. Turns out that she was suffering from a brain tumor
and had met hero the night before she travelled to England (?) for
brain sugery. She spent the night with him because she did not know
if she would survive the surgery. Chemo has turned her hair white,
which is how the hero remembers her. Heroine is now missing bits
of her memory post the operation. If I remeber correctly, either
the book or the hero's novel had the word "Angel" in its
title.

The book I'm looking is a Harlequin set in contemporary times.
I think I read it 6 or 5 years ago. The book is filled with flashbacks
that explain the hero and heroines relationship. The heroine and
the hero used to date but they broke it off when the hero learned
she was pregnant. He thought she became pregnant on purpose so he
would be forced to marry her. He is very rich. When the woman is
miscarrying she begs him to please save their baby. He realises
he had been wrong all along. Before he can apoligize to her and
make amends she disappears and he can't find her anywhere. When
she returns to the States she starts working at a jewelry store.
He finds her and is determined to win her back. The hero and heroine
are forced to lock themselves inside the stores ''panick room''
or safe when an armed robbery occurs. They make love inside the
''panick room'' and the hero tells the heroine that the best way
to get over a miscarriage quickly is to become pregnant soon after
and that he wishes to have a child with her. Still heartbroken over
her loss and the way he treated her, the heroine pushes him away.
But he continues to persue her. She tells him that if he does'nt
leave her alone she would desappear like before and he would never
find her. They eventually end up together and she gets pregnant.
The heroine then tells the hero that her hiding place was a house
or cabin located in Tuscany (or Sicily, somewhere in Italy), that
her grandmother had left her.

who was married and now is widowed. He blames his sister-in-law
for the death of his wife. His sister-in-law is innocent and she

knowing it is her. The book was published possibly in the 1980's
and I think the cover was red.

Im looking for a contemporary romance (probably Harlequin)
that I read sometime in the late 80s to early-mid 90s. In it, the
lady wanted to have a baby on her own but either couldnt afford
to or didnt want to go through the hassle of sperm clinic/artificial
insemination. She decided to ask her next door neighbor & one
of her best friends (or a family friend?) growing up if he would
help her out the old fashioned way. I believe his name/nickname
was Buddy and he worked in construction or something?

The book was aHarlequin Prsents novel. It is a contemporary novel
set in Scotland where the heroine and her son move to Scotland and
I think her name is Sara. She moves into a house which the hero
wants to buy for his mother. He seduces her and then she finds out
the reason he seduced her (which is to get the house). She decides
to kinda have her revenge and call him up and they begin a relationship
and then she falls for him and then he finds out she played him.
They ended breaking up and then when she admitted she fell for him
they got back together. I read this in about 2005/6.

From what I can remember a man moves in next door to a woman after
his divorce.They become friends and they grow fond of each other.
She takes him to the opera and they have fun with each other. She
is looking to get married and he never wants to get married again.
After planning a romantic evening where she cooks him roast chicken,
he gets a frantic call where he has to go over to his ex-wife and
he falls asleep over his ex-wife. The heroine takes this as a sign
and they break up but in the end they get back together. One scene
I remember also is where once she was sick and he went over her
house and he helped her up and then she went to weigh herself where
she tells him not to look and she said she lost a pond or two.I
read this in about 2005/6. I believe the heroines name is Holly
but I am not sure. There were kids in the story.

daughter. Tay then disappears without a trace and then she finds
out she is pregnant and then Tay returns and tells his reason for
leaving which was that his deceased wife's parents were going to
kidnap his daughter so they left. After some groveling she takes

her to come and stay with him and after some back and forth she
decides to stay with him and then they sleep together.

I read this book in the mid 1990s. It's a contemporary romance.
The woman is engaged to this seemingly perfect guy who is on a missionary
trip (I think). He's killed so she goes out and gets drunk and has
a one night stand. Her father ( a preacher I think) finds the man
and makes them get married when she finds out she is pregnant. I
think he is military, maybe Navy. I think her name may be Hannah
but I'm not sure. The hero is down on himself and feels like he
can't measure up to her perfect late fiancee who may have been Greg
or Gregory(?). The plot centers around her pregnancy, their sexual
attraction, and the question of her love and his worthiness. In
the end though they are in love and he's perfect for her.

I'm looking for a book I read at school around 5 years ago about
twin girls who lived in quite an old village. (I don't remember
the era the book was set in I'm afraid). One of the twins slips
in a stream, hits her head a dies one day and so her sister poses
as her leading everyone to think the wrong twin died. The only other
thing I remember is that the village is evacuated by all and is
turned into a reservoir years later. At the end of the book the
twin swims out to a church spire sticking out of the water and tries
to swim down to where her sister is buried.

It was about a couple that was together.. Then she thought he had
died.(work related I think) she had very long hair that was her
vanity.. She got together with another man who abused her and would
pull her hair/ braids.. She escaped and cut her hair and went to
her brother (I think).. He knew her first love wasn't dead.. I think
the main man's name was Rafe.. Anyway brother called him to help
because she was emotionally in a very bad way.. The abusive man
was hunting her and Rafe (?) had to stop him plus help her... I
know part of the book (I think where she saw Rafe again for first
time) her brother had surprised her causing a flashback and Rafe
had to get between them so she would focus on him only.

I am trying to find a book I read about 15 years ago. I believe
it was set in England. It was about a woman who was a burnt out
surgeon and her boss made her take time off. She went to stay at
her uncle's house, who was out of town. Her uncle's dog went through
a hole in the fence and she met the neighbor. The neighbor, I think,
was a genius of some sort and had a "think tank" in his
home. He believed she was a young woman seducing the older man (her
uncle) for money. She was bored by not working so she started working
for him, I believe as a housekeeper of some sort. She revealed that
she was a doctor when one of his co-workers fell down the stairs
and needed to be rushed to the hospital for surgery.

Contemporary romance from a (probably) English author. It takes
place in India. The heroine's friends get married, one of them is
Indian, so they all travel there for a traditional wedding. During
the celebrations, an Indian man (I think Jay but I'm not sure) witnesses
her taking money from the groom (she lent it to him), and thinks
she is his mistress. He is attracted to her, but is determined to
resist. He gives her a job in India (she may be an interior decorator
or something similar) and she stays with him and I remember they
travel to a factory in the countryside. He seduces her with the
intention of keeping her away from the new-husband, and the truth
comes out.

I am sure it was woman who wrote it. Date: 2000 or older. It was
a romance novel, at least 10 to 15 years old, maybe older. It was
set in the past I believe and centered around a girl named Rainy
who lived with her father in some house in the forest. Her father
named her Rainy because it was raining on the night she was born
and her mother died in childbirth I think. Her love interest is
a guy I am guessing here when I say his name is something like Thorn.
He takes her into the city for a business trip and they fall in
love, she ends up pregnant and then loses the child after being
thrown down the stairs by some bad guy. "Thorn" finds
out she was pregnant after he is told by the doctor that she lost
the baby, he insists she didn't even know but the lady says she
did cause she had bought a tiny pink baby dress from a shop earlier
(at the shop she talks with the owner saying she isn't sure if should
buy the dress cause she's not even sure if she's really pregnant
and the shop owner says a woman always knows). Rainy is depressed
because she thinks Thorn will not give her another baby so they
return back to town and she begins a friendship with the local handsome
school teacher, "Thorn" is jealous and thinks she likes
him but really she is helping him woe another lady in town he is
head over heels for. After quite a confrontation that involves "Thorn"
punching the school teacher he realizes that it was all misunderstanding
and begs for Rainy to forgive him, she does and they end up together.

Hello I am searching for a contemporary romance that I read within
the last 7ish years. The book is about a woman who is working towards
getting herself out of a large amount of debt. I believe she had
large hospital bills for her ex/dead boyfriend. She worked as a
secretary in a technology type business and was trying to get a
promotion in order to better make ends meet. Early on in the book
it shows her getting evicted from her apartment and living in a
uhaul truck. She also has an interesting way of not letting anyone
in on her poverty by abusing store return policies to get new outfits.
I remember that she went to great pains to not sleep in the uhaul
very much by staying late playing video games with some of other
people in the building, getting up early to hit the office gym as
well as trying to sleep under her desk. She is eventually found
out by the boss and he offers to buy her a sandwich in exchange
for her talking about her situation. He is the CEO of the company
and is very well off and has a vacation home on an island, I think?
One day an important, top secret software program goes missing from
the CEO's desk and is obviously found on the secretary's desk. She
is fired and led from the building. She goes off to her uhaul only
to find everything in it stolen except for her very ugly couch.
She then thinks up a plan to go live at the CEO's vacation home
and pose as his fiancee until she figures out something better to
do. While living there he brings clients and finds her there, he
gets angry but lets her say to charm the prospective clients. In
the end the real culprit behind the theft of the program is the
secretary from when the company first started up. She felt betrayed
because she wasn't getting as much recognition as everyone else.

Around 15-20 years ago, my sister was an avid reader of Mills &
Boon & Silhouette type books.She loved one in particular but
no matter how hard I search the net, I just can't find it!I don't
know what it was called or the author but here is what I do know:The
story is about a girl of about 17 whose father dies & leaves
her in the care of a male work colleague/friend in his early 30's.
It was modern, she had a name that could be a boy's or girl's (pretty
sure it was Alexandria but she's known as Alex) and he only agreed
to look after her thinking she was a boy. He takes her to live with
him on his ranch or something like that & this may have been
in Mexico or South America. It's that usual story of the girl flirting
etc & him pushing her away but every now & again going with
it reluctantly. He disappears a lot to hunt lions or something that
keeps killing his animals then the girl gets lost after losing her
horse & they finally get together after he worries about her.I
really hope someone can help, my sister has a special birthday coming
up & I would love to find this for her!

It's one of those rancher books. I think it's Harlequin American
or something. Basically it came out probably in between 98-2001,
I believe. It's about a couple who were married when they were very
young for a short time, then they broke up. Eight years later they
somehow end up at the same place again. The thing is they never
got a divorce so technically they are still married. I think one
of them wants a divorce now. But I just remember the guy being a
big
shot, but being a rancher also and the woman I can't remember. There
is a scene with them on the elevator.

It's most probably a Mills & Boon from the1980's. The hero
is an orphan and is adopted by a rich man who is estranged from
his only daughter. The hero grows up to become a successful doctor.
He is very close to his foster father but when the older man dies,
he bequeaths his house to his grand-daughter i.e. his estranged
daughter's daughter. This saddens the hero very much and he develops
an animosity towards the unknown girl. By a strange coincidence
the grand-daughter comes to work under the hero as a trainee doctor
and is a carefree & fun loving person. The hero, who is very
serious & dedicated tries to mend her ways but is at the same
time attracted to her. There is another senior female colleague
who is interested in our hero and tries to drive a wedge between
the couple. Add to this the tussle over the inheritance of the house
and the wider than a decade age difference between the two protagonists
. Eventually things are settled to a happily ever after end.

What I remember about the book, is that the heroine runs an agency
that helps people interested in getting married meet each other.
The hero comes to her agency looking to find a wife, because he
wants a child. I can't remember the specifics, such as, if there
was a particular reason why he wanted a child. The hero and heroine
end up agreeing to a marriage of convenience, in which they live
apart, but the hero visits with her every Wednesday (I think it
was Wednesday) so to get her pregnant. Also, before they married
the heroine was a virgin. I can't remember exactly why they ended
up marrying each other, but I think it had to do with the heroine
not wanting to set up her clients with a marriage that wasn't for
love? Nevertheles, as the story progresses, the hero falls in love
with the heroine and decides he wants to court her instead of just
visiting her to make her pregnant.

time with this man she is on holiday with. She is then later kidnapped
and the husband has to try and find her just by feeling this telepathic
link between them. I think she is in a helicopter or something?
I think it was either set in Italy or Greece.
February # C41 This book must be 20-30 years old by now but it was a lovely story and I would really appreciate any help to find it. Can’t remember the title or the author but I remember the plot, an overweight lady has to go to the ancestral family home as an elder very rich relative is dying and has summoned all the family to his bedside. She does not want to turn up alone as her family are mean to her so she hires a man to pretend to be her boyfriend. He is a writer who writes slightly smutty books and the two of them do not really hit it off at first. Once at the big family reunion they are set a task by the dying relative, she must lose weight and he must write a book which doesn’t have any smut in it while at the same time trying to solve the riddle of the hidden family treasure. He finds an old book containing recipes and helps her to lose the weight with exercise and they start to fall in love with each other. By the end of the book she is slim and beautiful and he has written a cookbook based on the old family recipes he found. I seem to recall there is someone else trying to find the family treasure and there was some kind of suspense in parts but basically it was a romance with our too very proud main characters discovering there is more to people than meets the eye.
