The Red-Hot Revenge series collects 14 Harlequin romances published between 2000 and 2008, all built around heroes (and occasionally heroines) motivated by payback. The Determined Husband and Seductive Revenge set the template early: a powerful man uses wealth or leverage to draw the heroine back into his orbit, only to find that his feelings are harder to control than his scheme.

Titles like The Millionaire’s Revenge, A Spanish Vengeance, and The Greek Billionaire’s Baby Revenge make the stakes clear from the cover. Blackmail, forced proximity, and marriages of convenience appear frequently. The heroes are mostly Mediterranean or Latin billionaires fitting the classic Harlequin Presents mold, and the heroines tend to be women with secrets or past entanglements with the hero.

The series spans eight years and shows the evolution of revenge romance within the category format. Earlier entries are tighter and more direct, while later books like The Billionaire’s Blackmailed Bride and Italian Prince, Wedlocked Wife layer in more emotional complexity. For readers who enjoy the tension of a hero who starts out antagonistic and gradually falls for the heroine despite himself, this is solid ground.
