How Passion in Paradise Began
The Passion in Paradise series was born from Harlequin’s vision to deliver escapist romance set in glamorous, far-flung destinations. Annie West kicked off the series with Wedding Night Reunion in Greece, setting the tone for tales of intense attraction and emotional stakes. Collaborating with bestselling authors like Susan Stephens and Jane Porter, Harlequin crafted a series that celebrates love’s ability to overcome obstacles, all against stunning backdrops. The authors drew inspiration from their own travels and passion for storytelling, creating a vibrant world where every novel feels like a mini-vacation.
The Heart of Passion in Paradise

Wedding Night Reunion in Greece by Annie West introduces Emma Piper, who flees to Corfu after discovering her marriage to Greek tycoon Christo Karides was a matter of convenience. Their fiery reunion sparks a tale of trust and seduction. In A Scandalous Midnight in Madrid by Susan Stephens, chef Sadie Montgomery’s life changes forever after a moonlit encounter with bachelor Alejandro de Alegon, blending culinary passion with forbidden desire. Jane Porter’s His Shock Marriage in Greece follows Kassiani Dukas, a last-minute bride, as she navigates a complex marriage with the emotionally guarded Damen Alexopoulos.
At its core, Passion in Paradise explores themes of love, trust, and second chances. The exotic settings—Greek islands, Spanish castles, Venetian palaces—aren’t just backdrops but characters in their own right, amplifying the emotional intensity.
