ionR: Introducing Harlequin DARE

HARLEQUIN TO PUBLISH ITS MOST EXPLICIT ROMANCE LINE YET!

Harlequin DARE will feature emotionally powerful, sexually graphic storytelling

 
Harlequin announces the official launch of Harlequin DARE, a new romance series featuring strong, independent women and sizzling hot heroes. With its first title to be released in January 2018, Harlequin DARE will deliver riveting, irresistible romance stories featuring highly explicit sexual encounters, making it the publisher’s sexiest series ever.
 
Harlequin DARE titles play out in an array of international settings, from glamorous urban centers (Paris, London, New York, Rome) to sensually exotic locations (the Amalfi Coast, Hawaii, the Caribbean). The global backdrop reflects the international makeup of DARE’s editorial team, which is actively acquiring manuscripts for the new line from its offices in London, New York and Toronto.
 
Four Harlequin DARE titles will be published each month in print and ebook formats in the UK and Australia and digitally in North America. Each fast-paced, plot-driven title will be approximately 50,000 words in length.
