So it makes perfect sense that his group date Monday night features Sean and the ladies in a Harlequin books photo shoot. After a makeover and costume-fitting session, they’ll get up close and personal in sensual, sizzling poses -- it’ll be a very hands-on way of getting to know each other!

Watch a preview of the episode:

The woman who demonstrates the most chemistry with Sean will win a cover modeling deal for three Harlequin books.

"What makes 'The Bachelor' so compelling -- searching for true love and ending up with your soul mate -- is what our novels are all about," said Harlequin representative Michelle Renaud.

"This is a real Harlequin story come to life. And 'The Bachelor' and Harlequin are a great fit, because people know both always have a happy ending."

That’s what she said!

"The Bachelor" airs Mondays at 8 PM on ABC.
