First-time authors get around $2000 advance (US) and about $1000-$1500 in other countries. You then get a royalty rate if your book goes past the first imprint. This varies between 6 and 8%, but is only a percentage of Harlequin's profit, which can be very, very small, perhaps only 5c per book sold. Do some more research into publishing - one author, whose book has sold more than 300,000 copies with Harlequin over the past 11 years, has earned less than $21,000 in the whole time.
