In 1973, she became a launch author for the new Mills & Boon-Harlequin Presents line of category romance novels. Presents line books were more sexually explicit than the previous line, Romance, under which Winspear had been published. She was chosen to be a launch author because she, along with Anne Mather and Anne Hampson were the most popular and prolific British authors of Mills and Boon.[1]
In 1970, Winspear commented that she wrote her leading males as if they were 'capable of rape'.
This comment caused uproar and led to her receiving hate mail.[2]
