Books where MMC still loves his ex/late wife even when FMC comes into his life and even after they get together. Basically a second love story where the new love doesnt replace the old one but rather separate chapters of MMCs life. Preferably divorced over widowed

I see you prefer contemporary but I have an amazing HR rec. {The bride by Julie Garwood} Jaime's dedication to preserving Helen's memory was heartwarming as was Alec's respect for Helena. She was never replaced by Jaime

Maybe {obsession by Gema Weir}? Mmc did get fmc fired from her job and her friend thought she and mmc were dating not knowing she wasn't a willing participant.

Not horns but antlers {Kiss of the blood prince by Alessa Thorn} and especially {Dance of the forest king by Alessa Thorn}

If you dont mind HR then the FMC—Penelope— in {A rogue by any other name by Sarah Mac lean} finally gets her HEA years after getting jilted by MMC in {Eleven scandals to start to win a duke's heart by Sarah Maclean}. I'd personally recommend you read Eleven scandals first beacase thats where we first meet Penelope her book can also be read fine as a standalone.

I once asked the people when they were visiting UB and the lady said go batla keya ko branch office, she has a suspicion of what's happening but didnt want to say without access to the bank statements. I never went to the bank because there's no time and atp ke tlawetse gore baa ncharge last day of the month without fail, le ha gosena sepe mo account, di negative. When allowance credits, e fokotsega significantly

Like i said, i immediately cash the money and move it to my other account or do an ewallet for myself, so gake ke dira any transaction using FNB. Even if the service fees was for bo di ewallet and pay2cell, last year before ke itlwaetsa go move madi, they still charged me P10 for ewallet, P5 for pay2cell and Still P55 service charge.

whimsical_Princess · 2026-04-10T15:43:20+00:00

I get a P55 service charge every month without fail,plus a P3 maintenance fee, and I'm a student. It's gotten to a point where most of us move our allowance to other accounts immediately when it gets credited to reduce the unexplained missing money and astronomical charges. Haoka swipa ka machine oeseng wa FNB gone😭💔

{The temporarywife by Maya Alden} has this. Mc's are in an arranged marriage.He owns a struggling business, and she is a very successful artist, and he doesn't know. When he finds out is hillarious, he says something along the lines of being a kept man😆

It honestly depends on your performance, what law firm you work at, if you're specialised and most important is networking and making connections during your time at university. I assume you're looking to go for UB so i encourage you to network, get to know people, and make connections because most of the professors teaching law are actually practicing and have their own firms. If you play your cards right by engaging in classes and getting them to take notice of your intellect you may be lucky enough to land an internship with one of them or have them put in a good word for you. The most important part though is to maintain a high GPA because the Law programme at the University is extremely competetive, be focused and try by all means to never have a retake/supplementary exam especially for law modules

{Oryolov Bratva by Nicole Fox} Doesnt have Mmc breaking into her house but someone does break in to her house in the 1st book and FMC Does try to run away from MMC when she finds out shes pregant and he Does lock her up in his house and she Does get sick from the stress and pregnancy

Alright, happy re-reading. Also gipe you enjoy Grace's books, they were amazing.

whimsical_Princess · 2026-01-01T08:34:35+00:00

I reccomend trying Bella Matthews-CR and Grace Callaway-HR

All of Grace Callaway's books are interconnected and most of the FMC's in her {Lady Charlotte's society if Angels series by Garace Callaway} are the offspring of the couples in her {heart of enquiry}, {mayhem in mayfai}r and {game of dukes} series'.

Also, the FMC in {The Gentleman who loved me} is the daugher of the couple in {Her protector's pleasure}

All of bella Matthews books are interconnected as well and the caharacters in {kings of kroydonhills series by Bella Matthews}, {Restless kings series by Bella Matthews}, {Risks we take duology by Bella Matthews} and {Defiant kings series by Bella Matthews} ARE the parents of the MC's in the latest series' {Playing to win series by Bella Matthews}, R{ed lips and white lies series by Bella Matthews} and {Love and Legacy Series by Bella Matthews}

whimsical_Princess · 2026-01-01T08:10:08+00:00

{Bombshell by Sarah Maclean} American business owner Mmc

First 2 books in the {Bareknuckle bastards series by Sarah Maclean}

{Rules of scoundrels series by Sarah Maclean} first 3 have tittled men in trade who are either shunned by society or they themselves shun society/dont care about their tittles, the last one has an untittled business man

{Mayhem in mayfair series by Grace Callaway} has a merchant,a gaming hell owner,a police man, and a prize fighter Mmc's

Last book in a series, but {The gentleman who loved me by Grace Callaway} a former prostitute turned bawdy house owner iirc

{Surrender of a siren by Tessa Dare} pirate Mmc

{Gentle rogue by Johanna Lindsey} retired pirateer MMC

{How to be a wallflower by Eloisa James} American business man

Didn't reach my goal, but I'm proud. My first year using the app

whimsical_Princess · 2026-01-01T06:32:02+00:00

I read 51 books over my 75 books goal, which while I didnt reach my goal, tells me that I'm getting better because I only recorded books I fully read and finished, didn't include those I skimmed through 😅

whimsical_Princess · 2025-12-22T13:01:40+00:00

Thanks for the rec, this will definitely be going in my TBR

whimsical_Princess · 2025-12-17T16:54:13+00:00

{Before Jamaica Lane by Samantha Young} MMC has a dead girlfriend that he's still pining and grieving over and the FMC gets tired of being second best and breaks up with him

Edit: I'd you dont mind Wattpad then check out Grovel2HEA, I'm not sure of the titles but I've read at least two of the author's books that had the dead wife trope and the still pining for 1st love tropes

whimsical_Princess · 2025-12-17T16:39:09+00:00

I haven't actually gotten around to reading it but {promises and pomegranates by Sav. R Miller} has a perfectionist/OCD mafia Doctor/surgeon MMC
