Harlequin Searches for the Greatest Love Story Ever Told ... Yours

NEW YORK, Feb. 14 /PRNewswire/ -- Harlequin, the world's leading publisher of romance novels, and Sandals Resorts, the world's leading all-inclusive luxury resorts for couples, have joined to give one loving couple the chance to immortalize their relationship on the cover of a Harlequin novel. The Harlequin(R) Everlasting(TM) Love contest asks readers to share the greatest love story they know - their own. The couple with the most epic tale will win the chance to pose for the cover of the latest Everlasting(TM) Love series novel, as well as an 8-day/7-night ultra all-inclusive trip for two to Sandals Grande Antigua Resort & Spa for their cover shoot.

Harlequin's Everlasting(TM) Love series is a collection of novels that showcase a love that can span several decades, going through the trials and tribulations of a relationship, and remain as strong as the minute it began. The philosophy behind the Everlasting(TM) Love series is "Every great love has its own story to tell."

Sandals Grande Antigua Resort & Spa is located on the longest stretch of Antigua's most spectacular and celebrated beach, Dickenson Bay, and is just 15 minutes from Antigua's V.C. Bird International Airport. Voted "the world's most romantic resort" 10 years in a row at the annual World Travel Awards, Sandals Grande Antigua is proud to be Green Globe Certified since 2001. Sandals Grande Antigua also received the prestigious Five Star Diamond Award in 2003 from the American Academy of Hospitality Sciences.

In June, Sandals Grande Antigua Resort & Spa will grow to 373 rooms as it adds a new, all-suite Mediterranean Village to the resort's existing Caribbean Village. The Mediterranean Village will feature 180 luxurious suites, a palatial lobby with private check-in services, the largest freshwater pool in the eastern Caribbean, chic poolside cabanas with wireless Internet access, plus new state-of-the-art meeting and banquet space and an expanded Red Lane(R) Spa.

Harlequin and Sandals Resorts are asking couples to put down in words their great love story and, with a recent photograph, send their entries to the Everlasting(TM) Love contest. This contest is open to all legal residents of the U.S. and Canada and entrants can start sending in their submissions on Valentine's Day, February 14, 2007. The contest will run until March 30, 2007. The winning couple of the Everlasting(TM) Love contest will be announced in July 2007. They will then be whisked away to Sandals Grande Antigua Resort & Spa. During their relaxing visit to the luxury resort, the Everlasting(TM) Love winning couple will prepare for and shoot their novel cover, forever being immortalized on the cover of a Harlequin novel.
