- Flipside
- Love and Laughter - The Love and Laughter line featured short, humorous stories. The line later became Flipside. While humor remains a popular topic, dedicated Harlequin lines never seem to catch on with readers.
- Temptation - Temptation was Harlequin's long-running sensual line. As the hotter Blaze line drew off readers, Temptation finally ceased publication in 2005.
- Heat - Blaze was the original "flash" on Temptions drawing readers looking for hotter, sexier reads. After Blaze became its own line, the Heat "flash" debuted.
