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.

This book snuck up on me. I got it in a pack of books from the used bookstore and I am glad I read it. I thought this book had great tension between the characters and it was very touching as well. Grant had lost his first wife and child tragically, but also felt guilt because he hadn't been the father he wanted to be to his daughter. He longed for a son to carry on the family name, and was drawn to one of his employees. He asked her to carry his child before, but she thought he was crazy. When he asks again, her desire for a child motivate her to say yes.
One of the strengths of this book is that the hero and heroine are down to earth people who live everyday lives, and you want things to work out for them. Even though this was a short read, I was caught up in the story, and wanted to finish it. It was definitely a nice way to fill a few hours, and I went away with the message that although we are not spared loss in life, there will also be the opportunity to find and to strengthen connections with others as we go through life.

Virgin Widow meets Texas Tycoon/Cowboy, for baby-making business marriage. Face meets palm. This story was ludicrous in a number of ways, but I think the hero having no qualms about the heroine being a virgin, when he was demanding a loveless marriage, took the cake. I did like how the story developed towards the end, in a subplot involving an orphaned baby.

First things first, to enjoy this story you have to accept that the scenario is very far-fetched. A boss who proposes marriage to his employee just because he wants a baby would end up in a sexual harassment lawsuit in real life. But this isn't real life, it's fiction. If you can suspend reality for a moment, you'll find the story is actually not bad. There was great character growth in the hero.
