Harlequin, of course, has an imprint called Harlequin Teen. What is interesting about it is that the books are amazingly chaste. Instead, they tend to be pretty serious novels dealing with things like image issues, racism, and peer pressure. It's almost like the publisher is bending over backwards to avoid sex.
