Jack and the Princess / Betrothed to the Prince

by Raye Morgan

"Jack and the Princess"Cracking the security system at the Roseanova estate seemed like a surefire way for Jack Santini to prove to the royal family that he was the man for the chief-of-security position. But he hadn't counted on waking up a beautiful, golden-haired princess! Karina Roseanova thought the brooding bodyguard who scaled her balcony was the perfect person to free her from the confines of her ivory tower and show her the ways of the world. Before long, Karina's irresistible girlish wonder gave way to a love beyond her wildest dreams. All she had to do was convince her family that this gruff commoner was her one and only prince!

"Betrothed to the Prince"

Princess Tianna had no intention of honoring her lifelong betrothal to Prince Garth Roseanova. But when she arrived to disengage herself from the playboy prince she'd never met, she ended up going undercover as a nanny--to protect the abandoned baby girl who might be the man's illegitimate heir! Dashing Prince Garth was nervous around the child, but her sweet cooing soon won him over, just like her beautiful nanny. Before long, he and Tianna were drawn together, propelled by forces beyond their control. But could their fairy-tale romance survive the shocking truth?

About the author

Aka Helen Conrad and Jena Hunt

Helen Conrad was born on April 11, 1945 in Pasadena, California, U.S.A. and grew up between Holland, Guam, and California, and spent a few years in Washington, D.C. as well. She obtained a B.A. in English Literature.

Helen was working toward a Master's in Library Science when she dropped out to have her first son. "One look into those baby blue eyes and I knew it was going to be a long time before I went back to school. But with young ones, you do have time to read, and the more I read, the more I learned about writing". She started writing because she felt guilty about spending so much time reading. "Through writing I figured I could still immerse myself in the stories I love, but I could actually claim I was working! The amazing thing was when I sold my first book and the excuse was justified. Dreams really do come true!"

After years of writing romantic suspense in the style of Mary Stewart and children's books in a lot of styles, she finally sold a romance to Jove's Second Chance at Love and there was celebration all around-at least in her ever-patient family of husband and four boys. She published four more romances for Jove under the name Jena Hunt, then began writing Silhouette Desires. A few sales to Bantam Loveswept and Harlequin Romance, Temptationand SuperRomance under the name Helen Conrad followed, as well as to Harpers, Dell Ecstasy, Mills & Boon, and even an historical with Zebra. Today, she is concentrating on Silhouette Romance, completely captivated by the breezy fun and touching poignancy of their compact, to-the-point form. She feels the perfect "quick read" should make the reader smile, sigh and put the book down feeling better about the state of love in the world.

Now, she lives in the Los Angeles area now with Nick, her geologist-computers cientist husband and the two of her four sons who still live at home."Having the boys around helps keep me up on the current trends," she says with a laugh. "But writing helps keep me in touch with the romance that weaves through the everyday lives we all live.
