Harlequin will introduce a new contemporary romance imprint next year, KISS, which the publisher describes as “fun, flirty and sensual romances.” The imprint will feature four titles per month with the first list set to be released in late January in e-book and mass market paperback formats. The first list of paperbacks will be $2.59, and rise to $4.99 beginning in March, while February e-books will be priced at $1.99 and will also rise to $4.99 starting in March.
To get readers interested in the line, Harlequin will release a free e-book December 1, Waking Up Married, that will remain free for at least five months. Titles in the launch KISS list are The One That Got Away, How to Get Over Your Ex, The Downfall of a Good Girl, and Hitched!.
