We’re so excited to share the name of our new sexy contemporary series, Afterglow Books!

Launching in January 2024, Afterglow is a new Harlequin series aimed at the under-35 romance reader, featuring spicy romances grounded in relatable character journeys. From showing up to glowing up, these characters are on the path to leading their best lives and finding romance along the way—with a dash of sizzling spice.

Everyone deserves a love story that’s true to who they are. In the pages of these swoon-worthy romances, characters from all walks of life chase their dreams and find that true love is only the beginning.

“Afterglow is that feeling after a beautiful moment, achievement or experience—it takes readers to the happy part of life,” said Stacy Boyd, Senior Editor of Afterglow Books. “It’s timeless, positive and rings true for the characters in these books. Our authors have crafted romantic stories with so much realism and relatability that we believe readers will see themselves in Afterglow characters and their journeys.”

Stacy, who has helped to envision this new romance series from day one, added that it’s been a joy to work with experienced Harlequin authors and brand-new voices to bring Afterglow to life.
