| − | "Meet sophisticated men of the world and captivating women in glamorous international settings. Seduction and passion guaranteed." [[Harlequin]] promises this and more in the [[Presents]] line. Launched in May 1973 with the title [[Gates Of Steel]] by [[Anne Hampson]], the series has continued to feature rich, sensual tales with strong alpha heroes and not-always-so-innocent women. In many ways, the [[Presents]] line offers a modern look at the classic [[Gothic]] structure.
