Home Groups Talk More Zeitgeist. Name That Book cont. Part II. I thought I'd start a new thread, since the other one was getting rather lengthy with loading with nearly posts from here. Updated: A list of all found books on this thread can be found here. A list of guesses of books on this thread can be found at Post Driving me crazy trying to find this book: it was a romance, Historical I think For some reason I do not recall But he is just injured, His portrait hangs in the bedroom and he comes to the room at night pretending to be a ghost and appears to walk out of the portrait.
They talk each night, he is trying to drive her out of his home, but she has no choice but to stay as she has been sent there almost as a prisoner or exile.
X goes away somewhere before the book starts, and the heroine wants to lose weight and generally make herself over before he returns. The heroine meets another man we'll call him Y at a party near the beginning of the book, and I believe they start going out so that she can gain some experience in preparation for her reunion with X. At some point, she goes to a wedding or something like that and gets to know some footballers' wives.
Also, she has a sister-in-law, who lives in the same house and is nasty to her. As I vaguely recall, the cover had flower petals and a mouth on it, if that helps. Sorry, I think I initially posted this in the wrong place: I'm trying to find a series of books involving a black-haired catholic heroine marrying an autocratic hero. The setting is coastal, historical US. Their book involves the heroine having twins, a hurricane, and hiding on an island near the family plantation.
I remember two other books in the series although I think that there were more. One of the twin daughters wants to join a convent, but the father is outraged and sends her to marry a distant relative in Brazil. She ends up married to an invalid and is involved with the invalid's brother. The other daughter marries someone from a nearby plantation but it's a bad marriage, the husband dies, and she falls in love with someone else.
