The Uncut series was a Harlequin Presents sub-line that turned up the heat. Published between 2005 and 2007, the eight books kept the classic Presents formula of powerful heroes and dramatic romance but included more explicit love scenes than the standard line. Titles like Virgin for Sale, Captive in His Bed, and Master of Pleasure signal the bolder tone.
The heroes are the usual Presents mix of sheikhs, millionaires, and alpha males from around the world. Desert settings, power dynamics, and possessive relationships run through most of the entries. The Uncut line was short-lived, but it gave Harlequin Presents readers a steamier option during its two-year run.
