| − | "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.

| − | The name for the [[Presents]] line was reportedly the brainchild of prolific author [[Anne Hampson]], who suggested the idea over lunch with Alan Boon of [[Mills and Boon]][http://www.pollingerltd.com/clients/anne_hampson.htm]. Other authors for [[Presents]] include beloved authors such as [[Violet Winspear]], [[Penny Jordan]], and [[Charlotte Lamb]]. A full list of authors is [[:Category:Presents_Author|here]].
