The Heat series is a Harlequin line that leans into the more sensual side of romance fiction. The 19 books feature explicit romantic content within stories that still deliver on character and plot. Vicki Lewis Thompson contributed entries spanning from 2001 to 2017, including Insatiable, Relentless, and Wickedly Hot.
The series gave Thompson room to write steamier material than some of her other Harlequin work. Titles like Her Private Dancer, Going All the Way, and Seduce Me signal the level of physical intensity readers can expect. Despite the emphasis on sensuality, Thompson maintains her characteristic humor and likable characters, balancing heat with heart across the lineup.
