Bedded by Blackmail is one of Susan Stephens’ largest series groupings for Harlequin Presents, with 22 books published between 2003 and 2009. The unifying theme is right there in the title: each story involves some kind of blackmail, bargain, or forced arrangement that throws the hero and heroine together. Titles like The Blackmail Pregnancy, Bought By A Billionaire, and Willingly Bedded, Forcibly Wedded make the dynamic clear from the cover.

This type of forced-proximity romance was extremely popular in Harlequin Presents during the mid-2000s, and Stephens was one of the most consistent contributors. The heroes are typically wealthy men (Italian billionaires, Greek tycoons, Mediterranean moguls) who use their power to maneuver the heroine into a relationship. The heroines resist, sparks fly, and genuine feelings develop despite the unequal starting point. The Brazilian’s Blackmail Bargain, Cordero’s Forced Bride, and The Mediterranean Billionaire’s Blackmail Bargain are representative of the series’ international flavor and high-stakes emotional conflicts.
