You did it! We figured this one out! It is a truth universally acknowledged (by me for certain) that the Bitchery pretty much knows everything, and really, it's true. Scroll down to see the solution for this HaBO - and many thanks!

I’m hoping that someone could help me identify a historical romance book that I read in the late 80’s. I’ve search for years and can’t find it.
The heroine of the book is named Kathleen or Catherine who gets sold as an indentured servant to the master of a plantation on a Caribbean Island and becomes his housekeeper. The hero is a plantation owner who is masquerading as his own twin brother as a masked pirate in order to get revenge on something or someone. His hands became scarred when he was a child, so he wears black leather gloves all of the time.
One of the most memorable scenes occurs when our masked hero manages very clumsily to deflower our heroine in a moving carriage. They’d been making out and she ultimately refuses to go all the way. He’s getting off her (with his pants around his knees) when the carriage stops suddenly. He literally falls on top of her and the deed is done. Literally. Insert tab A into slot B.
The plantation owner marries her and then becomes jealous of himself as he pursues her as both himself and the pirate guy.
I know that it’s not The Raider by Jude Deveroux because this was set on a tropical island. I’d love to read this one again if anybody recognizes it.
Only in a romance novel does one get deflowered by a bad brakes. Anyone recognize this tribute to antilock brakes and smooth roads?
someone found it…. Im shocked i completly forgot about it! HaBO wins again!
If this is the one I can’t believe it has been found! This is awesome! I’ll never get a copy of it out here in Belgium though. Ah the unfairness.
Anyway, the joint power of the Bitches proves it’s awesomeness again.
I hope Candy is still checking this thread out.
@Tiffany, aww that’s a shame about a Reliable Wife, I suppose it wasn’t really intended as a Romance? Maybe that’s why you were left wanting. Though unbelievable characters are never good.
Jan Oda,
you can order the book from one of Amazon’s used bookstores. I live in Sweden and order from them all the time and I just ordered
Windswept Passion by Sony T Pelton.
It couldn’t have been found without JennyG posting it to amazon. I’m so ordering it. THANK YOU!!
There are 74 used copies on amazon. I can imagine the thoughts running through the sellers’ heads. Twenty people just ordered the same book..what the fu….:) 🙂 🙂
@JamiSings, I’d love to read that phantom book….try remembering the title 🙂
Hey, i think I’‘ve found which book it is. It’s Phantom Lover by Millie Criswell. is it???
I just read through this entire hilarious thread. I am so glad the book was found as it was one that I read as a teenager. I always thought the accidental devirginizing was so hilarious. You guys are great.
Well, now there’s one less “Windswept Passion”‘s out there…down to 73…lurked about on this thread, spewing and laughing, you folks are my kinda peeps! Could not resist a book that has all of the slapstick of my own life, and will enjoy watching some other shlub experience all those mortifying little moments, even if she not a real peep.
Glad Cammy (and I) had help finding the title and am so very glad I found y’all.
“stage86”: 85 + me on stage singing the Hallelujah chorus when boogehagen found the book’s title

Hi,
Though acne is not a very serious problem,when it becomes relentless,can cause big problems, that leads to degradation of self confidence.So you have to take care of your skin everyday.The foremost and crucial things you have to do are smoothly clean your skin, particularly your face,as a minimum two times a day. Apply a soft cleanser and subsequently, wash your skin with water.Take advice of your dermatologist about what type of cleanser is best for you according to your skin type.
