YA romance the book is part of a series, about brothers each has his book, the age I think is between 18 and 21 in the book I'm looking for and is about a redhead that returns to attend her best friend wedding after she left town for a year after being finding that she cheated on the groom's younger brother with his twin who's the one really loved. she lived in a trailer.
what I also remember about this series is that the first book - about the 2nd oldest was in love with their neighbour (the best friend mentioned above) who I remember had a cardiologic (?) problem and has a scene where she faints and has to be taken to the ER
the second book- was about the oldest brother and his girlfriend in college but decided that they should take a break (it was his idea)
the third or fourth, since i think the first couple had 2 books, is about this readhead and the twin she cheated with

Hello everyone, so I am trying to find this Harlequin romance novel but I can't for the life of me remember the name or author! It was about a couple who dated as teenagers they saw this ship I think that's only supposed to be seen by lovers. The girl gets pregnant her parents confront the boys parents but the parents are rich snobs and don't want them dating she miscarries and the boy's parents lie that she got an abortion. Years later as adults she come back to town(she moved away after the incident) to purchase some historic manor to cheer up her mom who is grieving her dad. She meets the hero again who is an historian or something and he still thinks she got an abortion but they end up falling for each other again and the snobby parents try again to break them up and get him to marry some high society girl. They find out about parents lie. She gets pregnant again they live happily ever after. Does anyone know the name of this book please? I've tried keyword searching in every search engine I can think of and nothing.

   Long story short , one was left behind during a move and the other was accidently put in with some donated books .


The first I'm looking for was a horror or thriller novel from either ( I'm guessing ) the eighties or nineties about a man murdered by being burned to death . He returns as a ' monster ' and his wife has bad dreams each night about him .
Things I remember most about this book - the wife wears her husband's clothing after his murder . ( His shirts over her leggings )
   The people who killed him are part of a Devil worshipping / Satanic cult who later kidnap the wife for a sacrifice .
   The two main villians are an older woman who is maybe a case worker ( ?? ) who tortures other women for fun , and her sidekick , a younger man who might have been a gang member ( ?? ) They have a mother and son type of relationship .
   There is a scene I clearly remember where a young woman gets tied up in the caseworker's kitchen and is tortured with ice cubes falling on her .

   The second and possibly easier to find is a romance novel about a woman who lives ....... I'm thinking in Texas and a man ( divorced , I guess ? ) and his young son .
   What I remember from the book -
   The woman is more like a tomboy and she saves another woman from being raped / assaulted by knocking the guy out , throwing a baseball right at his head . The two women become friends and go shopping and get makeovers together .
   The little boy hates living in Texas ( or wherever it is , somewhere warm ) and he spends lots of time climbing and sitting in trees .
    His drunk nanny or babysitter locks him in a closet or pantry and the female main character rescues him .

    Any help and / or info is appreciated !   I'd like to find the names , titles , authors ......... anything so I can replace those with other copies .

A romantic book. The boy and the girl were in high school together. He was the type of "bad boy" with tattoos and she the good girl. Their paths crosses when they are older when he drops his daughter of at the place where she works. I think in the book he was working in construction. She was teaching ballet i think or working at a day care.

This is a book that I probably read about ten years ago so I'm sorry if this is very rambling. It was mainly a contemporary romance/mystery book about a woman whose father had recently died, but he had left her a house/apartment in New York(?) and she had to move there and find out what happened to her grandmother who had disappeared when the father was younger. The father had planned to move there himself before he died. The grandmother had been a singer and a gangster's girlfriend when she was a young woman.

The male protagonist lived in the same building (I think) and had known the father. He also had an honorary uncle/godfather that had been secretly involved with the grandmother when she was younger. He was also very rich, had a twin brother and a large family and I vaguely remember a party/family event where the twin brother tried to play a prank on the female protagonist where he pretended to be his brother but the female protagonist didn't fall for it.

At one point in the book the now old gangster turned up and tried to claim being the female protagonist's grandfather. Throughout the book there were also flashbacks of the grandmother's life to try to help solve the mystery as to what happened to her.

Thank you for any help, this has been driving me crazy!

A rock star romance - the h is a university student whose friend won tickets to a rock concert and wants to take her. She has never heard of the band and is basically a concert virgin...has no idea how to dress. At the concert, lead singer invites her backstage...immediate heat. She goes home and researches the band, learns the words to all their songs, their likes and dislikes. A guy that likes her invites her to their next concert and she gets all rock-glammed up this time. Lead singer sees her in the audience and freaks out, thinking that she has played him and knew who he was all along. He's really cruel to her and takes everybody BUT her to a reception area. Turns out okay and they spend the next day or two discovering Seattle...fascinating, intimate trip up the Space Needle! I hope somebody can figure this one out!! Thanks, guys.

Help me, please!

I read this book in the mid-early 2000's and cannot remember the title or author. I remember that it was about a teenager who moves and lives in a little bungalow/shack over the water and there is a surfer who sleeps on her roof because he is homeless. They are pretty close in age. They befriend each other and later they realize that he is her long-lost brother who was kidnapped when they were young. It mentions a red ball from their childhood, which is one of his only childhood memories. This girl also dates a super wealthy boy from across the pier and one of her friends struggles with anorexia.

I know that all makes no sense, which is why I can't find it.

Help me figure this out PLEASE!

Hi all,

I'm looking for an ebook I read many years back (~2009-2011) about a tycoon/billionaire/successful type-A man whose fiance/wife has gone missing (I think she left him or ran away for reasons I can't remember). He's looking for her but finds her lookalike half-sister (not twin) instead and I don't think he believes her at first when she's trying to tell him that she's not his fiance/wife.

He takes her for revenge and sees there's chemistry and passion between them. The wrong woman (the half-sister) is innocent and a contrast to her sister, who only got together with the male protagonist for money. We find out the other woman would stay with the half-sister whilst she was getting abortions, but there was no children between the couple. The male protagonist eventually believes the woman is the half-sister and reveals he first saw the half-sister first and fell in love/lust but got together with the other woman because he thought they were the same person. The male protagonist and half-sister get together in the end.

I remember a part of the book where the protagonists go to a party together where people mistake the woman for her half-sister, and maybe it's here the two sisters have a confrontation.

Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks!

Hi everyone,

so I read this book few years ago and can't remember the author or title. It's plot was about a teen author who wrote a really popular novel series and her books got made in to a movie or tv show. This girl writes her book under a false name and add a photo she found from internet as the picture of the author. And when the movie crew decides to film the novel in her village so that she could oversee it, she pays someone else to pretend like her and she as an assistant. Any help would be highly appreciated.

Edit: I remembered something else. One of the character's(author or decoy, i cant remember exactly) name was veronica

One in a million that anybody remembers this. I read a book in the 90s where the female heroine had hidden a figurine by Michelangelo as a child but didn't remember doing so. Book was set in the modern day where she fell in love with someone from the family that had owned the statue.

So I read this book a while back and the story went like this:A girl meets a boy , they fall in love, and she is describing everything that they did together till they broke-up. In the end it turns out that all that was a goodbye letter she wrote and gave to her bf along with a box full items like a ticket from a movie they went to and other things like that. She left the letter and the box outside his door and left. That's all I remember. It would mean a lot to me if you could help me with this.

Thank you for you time.
