Our aim is to set the platinum standard for authors in the Romance genre. We want you to have a totally A-list experience, irrespective of where you are in the publishing process. From submission, through editing, to the all important receipt of royalties, we go the extra mile to create an environment where you feel comfortable, valued and totally engaged.

We've been going strong as a market leader for fourteen years. As well as being a digital first publishing pioneer, we're also the first publisher to offer an 'Open Publishing' model to authors, giving them a more diverse offering than ever before.
