All About Harlequin Medical Romance
Harlequin Medical Romance stories are intense, uplifting and relatable romances set in the medical world. They feature relatable main characters in a medical setting – dedicated top-notch docs, hot-shot surgeons, fearless first responders and even some vets. We are committed to publishing for our diverse global readership, and are actively seeking to acquire authors from underrepresented backgrounds.
Key Medical Romance elements include:
- A central romantic relationship against the backdrop of a contemporary medical setting.
- Engaging medical settings and situations around the world from cozy GP practices and maternity to intense ER and first response, all with a strong sense of community.
- An emotionally intense read, ranging from the traditional to the ground breaking.
- Innovative emotional conflicts and traditional emotional themes developed in a unique way.
- A range of sensuality from intensely passionate to warm and tender.
- Word count of 50,000.
