Sometimes you have to break the rules to right a wrong.
Janet Cardona is usually a by-the-book good girl–but when Matt Carrington won't give her cat back, she sees red. Rules mean nothing when there's an animal to be saved. So when she's caught in a burglary and blackmailed for it, she finds she can't refuse. Matt only needs her to pretend to be his wife for a day or two so that he can run a scam he's involved in. But once the pretense gets going, he begins to yearn for the real thing. Now Janet has to decide if she can let herself fall for a con man.
Recipes for Crab Open-faced Sandwiches and Basic Asian Soup included.
Excerpt
"Vanessa, Vanessa," he murmured, grinning. "How you've changed from the passionate woman of my dreams."
"I'm not Vanessa," she hissed.
"Sit," he ordered, and she sat. "What would you like to eat?"
"I'm not hungry," she said, though a sudden rumbling in her stomach reminded her that she hadn't eaten a thing since breakfast, having been much too busy keeping an eye on the Jessup house to stop for food.
"I'll give you half of my sandwich," he offered, turning to the refrigerator and pulling out vast quantities of food and placing each item on the counter near the cutting board.
"Just let me go," she said in a bleak little voice.
He glanced at her, then away. "I'm sorry, Janet," he said quietly. "I can't do that. I really need you."
He swung the refrigerator door closed and began to pile meat and cheese and lettuce and tomato slices on the bread he'd spread out on the cutting board. "I think you'll like it here," he went on. "The amenities are superb. During the day you'll be served by a cook and two maids. There's also a nurse who comes daily to care for Aunt Mavis." He placed a sandwich on a china plate and put it in front of her. "Think of it as a vacation." He sat down across the table from her with his own plate. "I guarantee you'll have a good time."
Before she had a chance to answer, there was a whirring sound and they both jumped up, turning toward the kitchen doorway. In through the opening came a lady in a wheelchair. If it had been closer to Christmas, Janet might have thought they were being hailed by Mrs. Claus. Her cheeks were pink and her eyes glowed with a vague, slightly muddled goodwill.
"Vanessa!" she cried as she neared them. "It is you, isn't it? I'm so glad you've come! Matt was so worried."

A Little About the Destiny Bay Romances: Sweet Editions
From Author Helen Conrad
"The Destiny Bay Romances take place in the sort of beach town I've always loved--and now I live in one! But writing about beach towns came first and this series is centered on the rich, influential Carrington family living along the California Coast, and in Hawaii. These are good-looking, fast-driving, hard-hitting men and women whose impulses lead them into trouble every time--and inevitably to fall in love.
The original series includes language and love scenes that aren't, for the most part, especially harsh and explicit--but some of my readers from my years writing sweets for Harlequin as Raye Morgan have asked if we couldn't have sweet and clean versions--and I thought--what a good idea!
These are basically the same stories...but with the conflicts softened a bit, the language cleaned up, and no explicit love scenes. There are still a few adult situations, but they're muted. Consider these the PG versions.
I hope you enjoy them!"
