The new Harlequin fiction line also returns the romance novel to its gentler roots, when governesses would look longingly across the room at noblemen or tycoons for most of the book and the tale would end with nothing more salacious than the characters rushing into each other'9 arms and saying, "I love you." As romance fiction took off during the 1980s and more publishers entered the field, the competitive juices produced more explicit prose. Even the characters in some Harlequin romances now consummate their love in detail. In the Steeple Hill romances, the kisses are described in passionate detail, but the action stops there.

Not even married couples have sex in these booksj Rather, the love stories are set in the larger context of the characters' relationships with God Through faith, they overcome past hurts and learn to love again. On the last page of In Search Her Own by Carole Gift Page, trie rugged hero draws the vulnerable young woman into his armfc, holds her close and kisses her. "with a slow, tender passion." -j "Then he said huskily, 'Will you marry me, Her answer: "Yes, yes, yes!" In the final scene, Phillip and Victoria watch the moonlight cast a soft glow over the sleeping son she had given up years ago. "No matter what happens, we'll never be alone," she says, "because our heavenly Father will be with us and watchin'g over us forever." I Dltimnra I 7R I i Dry Creek, Ore.

By David Briggs AP RsKckNI Writer NEW YORK There's a new kind of romance novel in which no bodices get ripped, no loins throb, no breasts heave, and the cover is more likely to feature a wedding dress than a shirtless Fabio. And while a kiss is still a kiss, it no longer sends the hero on an inexorable journey to "the pulsing flower of her womanhood." Harlequin Enterprises one of the world's leading publishers of romance novels, is introducing a line of inspirational Christian fiction in which the heroine is always chaste and God is the third figure in every love triangle.

In a testament to the growing popularity of religious fiction, the Ontario-based publishing house launched its new Steeple Hill division in September with three Christian romances. Steeple Hill plans to bring out three a month through the end of the year, and eventually branch out to broader areas of religious fiction and nonfiction. With Harlequin's publishing muscle behind it, the line represents a major step for religious fiction, enabling it break out of Christian bookstores and into mass-market sellers such as Kmart and Wal-Mart. "It not only speaks loud and clear about the market, but it does, if you will, give a validity to this market because it speaks from a commercial voice.
