Definition of "Contemporary Romance": While technically a subgenre of the Romance category, that category is much too large to not be broken down. Contemporary Romance, by definition, is set in the time in which it was written. The ebooks in this category are largely focused on the relationship and romantic love shared by two people. Typically, ebooks in this category reward characters that are good people, punish those that are bad, and end with an upbeat, positive conclusion. But, that "formula" is always being altered by excellent authors--which is why we read their ebooks, right?
Some examples of the best Contemporary Romance ebooks past and present include Nicholas Sparks (The Longest Ride), Tracy Brogan (Crazy Little Thing), Jojo Moyes (Me Before You), Nicholas Sparks (The Notebook), Lisa Kleypas (Blue-Eyed Devil).
Aiden Cross is my dad’s best friend
And he just became my boss.
He’s so off limits it isn’t even funny
But I’m not laughing.
I’ve been in love with him for as long as I can remember.
He’s always been my dad’s best friend,
And now he’s a handsome, hot shot marketing CEO.
Dominating a business I’m just starting out in,
And dominating my every thought.
I never thought I had a shot with him,
But the way he looks at me lately makes me wonder.
I know he thinks he’d be double crossing my dad,
But we can’t keep deceiving ourselves.
Even if giving in means we burn every bridge,
I want him and he wants me,
And we can’t deny it much longer.
I never should have let myself get this close to the fire,
But now that I’m here, I can’t help it.
I want to get burned.
He almost ruined me once. And now, he’s back to try again.
I’ve suffered through hell and back to keep the life I’ve built. Every single challenge, overcome. Every mountain, climbed. Being at the top of my game means not taking time to look back. There’s no time for regret.
At least, until an old flame returns, threatening to bring my life crashing down. His smile is almost as lethal as the way he crushed my heart into dust. No way am I letting him get close to me again, but he breaks down my barriers one by one, rekindling old feelings that never died.
Little do I know that he’s hiding a secret that has the power to ruin me once and for all. Will I find out what he’s keeping from me before I fall too far?
If you like the heat of Alessandra Torre and the heart of Abbi Glines, you will adore Dakota Davies’ steamy new trilogy.

♥ Entwined Hearts is a slow-burn, intense romance wrapped up in a suspenseful, beautiful love story. It’s the first book in a new series and should be read first. ♥
She’s going to lose a bet… or I’m going to lose her heart.
I’m about to lose my future wife, and we aren’t even married yet. But despite me being sure she’s the one I’m meant to marry, Holly’s convinced we’re not meant to be. That may have something to do with my mom being engaged to Holly’s dad, but we didn’t know about that until after the hottest night of our lives. That means nothing to Holly now, though; she wouldn’t be caught dead dating a stepbrother.
Maybe I should be offended, but I’m not really her stepbrother yet, and I see no problem with our relationship moving forward. But she’s determined to find a date for the upcoming wedding—anyone but me.
Holly’s about to learn that when I set my sights on something I really want, I go all in. I’m offering her a bet: if she can meet Mr. Right and show up to the wedding with someone she’s really in love with, I’ll pay up. But if not? She’s mine.
I just hope I haven’t underestimated how much she hates to lose… because there are some things that are more important than winning.

"Shiveringly Gothic."—New York Times Book Review
A PopSugar and BookBub Best Romance of 2022!
A London heiress rides out to the wilds of the English countryside to honor a marriage of convenience with a mysterious and reclusive stranger.
Tall, dark, and dour, the notorious Captain Jasper Blunt was once hailed a military hero, but tales abound of his bastard children and his haunted estate in Yorkshire. What he requires now is a rich wife to ornament his isolated ruin, and he has his sights set on the enchanting Julia Wychwood.
For Julia, an incurable romantic cursed with a crippling social anxiety, navigating a London ballroom is absolute torture. The only time Julia feels any degree of confidence is when she's on her horse. Unfortunately, a young lady can't spend the whole of her life in the saddle, so Julia makes an impetuous decision to take her future by the reins—she proposes to Captain Blunt.
In exchange for her dowry and her hand, Jasper must promise to grant her freedom to do as she pleases. To ride—and to read—as much as she likes without masculine interference. He readily agrees to her conditions, with one provision of his own: Julia is forbidden from going into the tower rooms of his estate and snooping around his affairs. But the more she learns of the beastly former hero, the more intrigued she becomes...

Father’s Day
Single mom Robin Masterson’s ten-year-old son, Jeff, thinks he needs a dog more than anything in the world. And there just happens to be one right next door! But the friendly black Lab belongs to Cole Camden, the unfriendliest man in the neighborhood. Robin can understand why Cole’s solitary life has made him cold—her own much-loved husband died when Jeff was just a baby. Still, Jeff persists…and soon his mom and Cole are looking at each other in a whole new way.
Lone Star Baby
Wade McMillen might be a minister, but he’s also a man. An unmarried and very attractive one. Is it as a man that he responds to the lovely young woman who shows up in Promise, pregnant and alone? Or as a man of God? Maybe it’s both. Amy Thornton hopes to make a new life for herself and her baby, and to do that, she needs Reverend McMillen’s help, his compassion. What she wants is the love of a man named Wade…
No man ever made her scream and beg for release. Until now, I say.
She claims I’m asking for the impossible. I will prove her wrong.
I always get what I want. Always.
She's a professional, paid to lie and seduce, but those tricks won't work on me. I don’t want her insincere moans and fake smiles.
I want the real thing—and I know how to get it.
Because I know it’s not her body that needs to be conquered–it’s her mind.
But our relationship rests on unsound footing, a contract and nothing more.
And when my actions turn reckless, the vulnerable agreement may be our undoing.
All of our best dates end up in the emergency room....
I planned the perfect proposal. Plenty of lobster, caviar, champagne and—her favorite—tiramisu. The perfect setting. The perfect woman.
The perfect everything.
My dad gave me my late mother’s engagement ring, platinum and diamonds galore. Of course, my Shannon wouldn’t care if I slid a giant hard-candy ring on her finger instead of a three-carat diamond designed to impress.
But my future mother-in-law, Marie, will pass out when she sets eyes on that rock, and that will give us two minutes of blessed silence. That woman talks more than Kim Kardashian flashes her naked backside on the internet.
I was going to make it perfect, down to the color of the tablecloth to the freshness of the roses.
And it was perfect.
Until Shannon swallowed the ring.
Written by USA Today Bestselling Authors K.L. Middleton and Cassie Alexandra
