Destiny Bay Boxed Set Vol. 2
The books of this series are loosely connected. Each can stand alone.
The Carringtons, like most rich, influential people, are good-looking, fast-driving, hard-hitting men and women whose impulses lead them into trouble every time. Here are a few of their stories.
Book 4-MAKE-BELIEVE WIFE He was her childhood crush come to life and he seemed to want her this time. Did she dare risk her famous father's scorn--again?Kathy's whole life is focused on winning at swimming to redeem herself with her father. She has no time for Jason, a champion himself, who doesn't believe she can do it. Will she let his handsome face and intoxicating lovemaking throw her off the track again? She has to make a choice--love, or winning. Either one will tear her life apart. Original published in print by Pageant and recently revised as part of the Destiny Bay Series.
Book 5-PROMOTED TO WIFEShe has to prove she can do the job as butler. But is sleeping with the hot shot son part of the job description?Terry Yardley is trying to keep her father's butlering job open for him until he recovers from an accident by doing the work herself. Cleaning and preparing for a ball she can handle, but no one told her she would have to deal with a blow up doll, a set of hard-to-handle children, Rick's Aunt Julia and the very sexy Carrington gentleman himself. Original published in print by Dell Candlelight Ecstasy and recently revised as part of the Destiny Bay Series.
Book 6-NOT THE MARRYING KINDWill she risk her heart to catch a thief?Shelley Carrington isn't sure if movie-star handsome Michael Harper is a conman or one of the good guys. It's hard to tell and she's had so much uncertainty in her life, she doesn't dare to trust her own judgment. She watches him fool and dazzle others-is he doing the same to her? Is that why she can't even trust what her own heart tells her?

About the author
Helen Conrad
67 books74 followersaka Jena Hunt and Raye Morgan.
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."

Destiny Bay...
It was a nice, easy read getting to know each new set of Carringtons. Kept me looking forward to the next chapter. I wish Destiny Bay was a real town I could visit. I love how the author brings it to life.

In this 2nd box set these books were really good. Books 4 & 5 had good storylines. Books 4 & 5 I really liked the chemistry & romance between the main characters. I really enjoyed Kathy & Terry's determination. In Book 5 I really loved the scenes with Terry & the kids. Book 6 was okay. I think this 2nd book set was better than the first one.

Great Trio
Three more stories about the Carringtons. Dr Steven Carringtons three children. And the continuing story of Tag and Mickey. Conrad writes a really engrossing romance, and her love scenes are great without being gross. I prefer something left to the imagination.

I've read series 1-4 box set and box set 1-3 on the second series and I thought they were both very enjoyable reading.
Now I'm about to start ready the baby box set and looking forward to it.
