The publication of the Silhouette Desire titles in the United Kingdom was started in January 1983 by Hodder & Stoughton, six month after the start of the North American Edition. At that time Silhouette still was a division of Simon & Schuster. The UK titles had the same covers and numbering as the US Edition but their publisher's ISBN: UK-Edition and US-Edition
Harlequin Enterprises Limited bought Silhouette in 1984 and from January 1985 on the UK-Edition was published by Harlequin's UK-based company Mills & Boon. The UK titles still had the same covers and numbering as the US Edition but a ISBN in the Harlequin range (0-373-), whereas the US-edition still had one in Simon & Schuster's: UK-Edition and US-Edition
From July 1985 to June 1986 the UK-titles were almost identical to the North American Edition except that there where published 6 months later. From July 1986 to April 1995 the UK-titles again had a different ISBN in the Harlequin range, but kept the USA covers and series numbering.
This changed in May 1995, when with #896 Mills & Boon discontinued to issue the American Edition on a 1:1 basis. Titles from the Silhouette Romance, Silhouette Yours Truly and Harlequin Love And Laughter imprints were included and the series now had a special Mills & Boon numbering but kept the ISBN, which makes it rather difficult to distinguish the UK-Edition.
The last single-title edition of the imprint was released in October 2001, with #1362. From that time 3 double-title volumes are published each month, at first called Desire Double and themed and currently named Desire 2 in 1.
- For #1 to #895 see Silhouette Desire By The Numbers and add 6 month to their release date
- Mills & Boon numbered Desire #896 - #1362
- Desire 2-in-1 By The Numbers
