Ruthless collects twenty-one Harlequin romances featuring powerful, uncompromising heroes and the women who refuse to be controlled. Published between 2005 and 2022, titles like The Billionaire’s Captive Bride, Innocent on Her Wedding Night, and Ruthless Billionaire, Forbidden Baby deliver the intense power dynamics the line is named for.
The series spans nearly two decades, with later reissues and new entries keeping the Ruthless brand alive through 2022. The heroes are billionaires, tycoons, and men of influence who meet their match in heroines who won’t be bought or bullied.
