Steeple Hill Romantic Suspense
www.eharlequin.com
This new brand in the Steeple Hill imprint is a series of edge-of-your-seat, contemporary romantic suspense tales of intrigue and romance featuring Christian characters facing challenges to their faith…and to their lives.
Each story should have a compelling mystery or a suspenseful situation threatening the hero and the heroine combined with an emotional, satisfying and mature romance; however, the characters should not make love unless they are married. Even if characters are married, lovemaking must occur offstage. (No love scenes, please.) Any physical interactions (i.e., kissing, hugging) should emphasize emotional tenderness rather than sexual desire. There should not be an excessive reliance on kissing scenes or use of words such as "desire," "need," etc. or a focus on specific body parts. Please avoid any mention of nudity.
Drama, mystery, suspense and even a touch of humor all have a place in the series. Foul language and swearing do not. Paranormal or horror elements are not acceptable. Conflicts cannot be solved purely by divine intervention (e.g. an angel arriving to save the day). Violence is appropriate only insofar as it relates to the plot. Any subplots should come directly from the main story. Secondary characters can also help contribute to an exciting story. First person point of view (hero or heroine) may be used. Secondary characters' point of view can also be used, but only if sustained and appropriate to the story line. Stories can have international settings, though the main characters should be North American.
