| The heroine is held captive by her guardian who threatens her if she doesn't let the hero take her. She tells him her story and he pretends to take her but then makes plans to rescue her. Instead her guardian has him arrested and she has to rescue him. They head to america on a boat he is delirious one night and takes her in his sleep. When they get to america she finds out she is pregnant and then eventually they are married. |

I think this might be Crystal Passion by Jo Goodman:
| Quote: | Ashley Lynne had never expected kindness from her guardian, the cruel Duke of Linfield. But to be betrothed by him to an aging peer she hardly knew was unthinkable. Even worse was the cost of her resistance, for Ashley awoke from a drugged sleep to find herself in the bedchamber of a dark-haired, steel-eyed stranger.
Sent to England on business, Captain Salem McClellan assumed the lovely young woman curled in his bed was only an evening's entertainment supplied by the Duke of Linfield. Ashley's terrified protests were proof of her innocence - and a powerful inspiration to rescue the young beauty from her guardian's clutches.
From the gloomy docks of London to the lush green hills of Virginia, Salem and Ashley embark on a journey that plunges them into scandalous family secrets, and into the danger of the American Revolution. Together, they will fight for America's freedom, and the promise of being wrapped in each other's arms...forever. |
IIRC, at some point they come to believe that they are brother and sister (I don't remember how they come to this conclusion). |

Goodman also does that in With All My Heart.
