The following is my attempt at an index of the titles in the RAINBOW ROMANCE line, published by Signet/NAL (New American Library) from 1968 to 1973. This was Signet's short-lived effort at competing with Harlequin's category romance line.
Note that authors Vivian Donald and I. Torr were pen-names for Charles Roy MacKinnon (a.k.a. Charles Stuart). Joan Garrison and Rebecca Marsh were pen-names of William Neubauer. Perry Lindsay was a pen-name for Peggy Gaddis. Rosalind Burke was a pen-name of Robert Haynie.
The "CCE" notation refers to the date listed for the book in the Catalog of Copyright Entries.
