Reader Question… Solved! The book about the engaged heroine that overhears a conversation between the Hero & her father and realizes it’s a business deal.

Shaira is looking or this one! Oooooh I love books with the “overhears a bad conversation” trope. Always so painful and infuriating and hooks me GOOD!

She asks:

Hi Maryse!

I’ve often followed your blog for good book recommendations! I’ve been struggling to remember the title of a book I read several years ago and was hoping you could help, since I haven’t been able to get it off my mind!

The h was in love or lust with the Hero and engaged to be married, but just before she overhears a conversation between H and her father and realises it’s a business deal.

She leaves before getting married and starts her business, but has to return home when her father dies and the family business is in trouble and to get her two sisters out of debt.

Please let me know if you can help recall the title !

Xxx happy new year!

Anyone have a guess?

Joy: On the Rocks by Kandi Steiner?

Renate: The Unwanted Wife by Natasha Anders

Kate: It doesn’t match the details Shaira mentions exactly, but Bitter Heat by Mia Knight has some similarities to her description.

Skye: The Tycoon by M. O’Keefe

Anitah: It’s The Tycoon by M. O’Keefe

Maryse: I’m pretty sure this one is solved (even though Shaira did not confirm either way), and is The Tycoon by M. O’Keefe, ’cause Shaira just emailed me her “favorites” list, and this book was on it. 😉 YAY!!
