Harlequin Presents Readers discussion

Hi all, can anyone please recommend books where the Hero is absolutely horrid to the heroine specifically to make her dump him. Reasons don't matter, the bigger the jerk the better.

Bonus points if he suitably redeems himself afterwards.

I haven't read it, but there is one on my To Read list that seems to be along these lines, Cheater's Regret. I read the previous book and this one seemed to be leading up to exactly what you described, although no idea if he redeems himself.

Since this is the Harlequin Presents readers thread are you looking for Harlequin Presents books with that plot?

@Arann thanks for the suggestion, I'll check it out...

@Reader in NJ yes, I am..

Oh, whoops! I wasn't paying attention to the HP part. Sorry!

Jacqueline Baird: Shattered Trust

Basically anything by Diana Palmer, especially her Long Tall Texan series. Her specialty is mean heroes who are outrageously horrible to very sweet, blameless and kind heroines - and somewhere down the line the hero realizes his mistake and does everything in his power to win her back. Bonus points if the book includes the heroine running away and getting terribly injured as a result, add some extra guilt and groveling to the whole thing.
