Dear Reader,

Someone once asked me why I thought romance novels were so wildly popular, and, for a moment, I was stumped for a response. Then I realized it’s because romance novels are one of the few things in our society that are so specifically tailored to women. Almost exclusively, women write, edit and read romance. The heroines in our books are strong, savvy and sensual Too often in our society, women are discouraged from being such things, but in a romance novel, there’s always a gorgeous; intelligent man who prizes a woman for those very traits. Talk about your happy endings…

And those happy endings are what it’s all about. Romance novels are often dismissed as insubstantial fluff. But those of us who love them know that simply isn’t true. Over the years, a good deal of change has come to our genre. And Silhouette Books has always been the front-runner of promoting that change, especially in its Desire line. I’ve enjoyed Desire novels that depict everything from timetravel to single-parenting to overcoming substance abuse to recovering from domestic violence. So much for insubstantial fluff.

A romance novel is just about the only place a woman can visit where the world works the way it’s supposed to, where good people are rewarded for their good deeds, and nice guys never finish last. In romance novels, no matter how tough a woman’s life gets, by the last page, we know she’s going to be just fine. And in this day and age, with the society we have to meet head-on every day, what woman wouldn’t be attracted to that?

There’s nothing better than a good romance. That’s something Silhouette knows, and something the Desire line has always aspired to bring its readers. I’m proud to be a Desire author and a Desire reader. And I can’t wait for the next 1000.

Best wishes,
