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).

Despite the urging of her mother and her academic advisor to get a life and have some fun, “all work and no play” sums up her plan to survive her grueling internship year at a children’s hospital. She doesn’t want to end up like her father, whose constant ups and downs broke her family, and avoiding unnecessary emotional entanglements is a must.
Then she (literally) runs into Dr. Aron Lindstrom in the middle of her disastrous first day on the job. The attraction is instant—and terrifying. Nessa knows she should stay away—especially when she finds out he has a reputation for being a player—but Aron is brilliant, intense, and as sexy as they come. When he challenges her to take a chance on him, her plans to stay focused on work start to crumble.
But what begins as passion takes on a dangerous edge, becoming an emotional roller coaster that’s frighteningly familiar. As things spiral out of control, Nessa must decide whether she should hold on for the ride or run … even if it means leaving her heart behind.

Would you sell your soul to save your daughter's life?
With my NHL career ripped to shreds by a devastating knee injury, I've hit rock bottom.
Dead Ass Broke.
Divorced.
Single Dad.
My new life isn't glamorous and people love to judge and label. The groupies have dried up and all that remains after my ex-wife stole all my money and left the country is my hell hole of an apartment and a beat up car I won in a shooting contest my rookie year. But none of that matters to me. It's all about my precious little girl. My heart. My soul. She's sick and she's hurting. There's a special trial at the Mayo Clinic but it costs six figures. I'm uninsured, and the only thing in my bank account is a string of zeros.
So when temptation makes its siren's call inside a hotel bar. I answer. How hard could it be? Escorting rich, powerful women around town? Besides, I'll do anything.
Anything.
My daughter's uncertain future hangs in the balance. A simple mistake invites a ghost from the past back into my life. She's only a name and a beautiful face in a photograph on a computer screen. Until she isn't. Something about her is so familiar.
Tempting me.
Threatening to destroy me with one look. One touch.
It wasn't supposed to turn into this. She's a trick. A sexy means to a desperate man's end. In spite of the raging chemistry between us, she's veiling her angel's light behind an icy exterior. And she's got her reasons to hide. Especially, from a man-whore like me. I've been reduced to a pathetic shell of the man I used to be. I'm someone who could drag her down from her ivory tower running one of the most powerful tech companies in the world into the cesspool of my meager existence. And I can't. I won't.
We both know this is a one-time thing. No repeats. Bought and paid for in a simple transaction. But I don't think I could ever be finished with her. She calls to me, salving my pain and despair with her kindness and vulnerability. But even she can't help me and my beautiful Jessica. No one can.
Coming up with the money's all up to me. Saving my daughter's life is all up to me. And come hell or high water, I'll get it done.
It was never supposed to be real. Like they say, never say never…
The last thing I wanted was to get serious, hence the need for a sub I could also use as my fake wife.
From the moment I laid eyes on her, the attraction was instantaneous. I should’ve known that could only mean trouble.
Her body succumbed to mine so easily. The rapture of taking her to heights she’d never known, exhilarating.
Could real love come out of a fake relationship?
Lies beget more lies. Guilt, pain, and regrets go hand in hand with lies. They would surely be the death of the love we stumbled upon.
In the end, there were choices. None of them would come without consequences. None of them would be painless.
Could I let her go to save her from the pain and scrutiny of what I’d made her do?
Would she ever be able to forgive me if I did?
This book is a full-length standalone novel with a guaranteed HEA and no cliffhanger.

F*cking girls until they scream my name.

Do you ever get tired of being a good girl?
I know I do, with a name like Snow I guess it’s expected.
But there is nothing good about my boss’ new wife.
That witch took over the office.
And she’s determined to turn my fairy tale into a living nightmare.
Hello, Enchanted Woods, an exclusive retreat for worn-out girls like me.
The retreat has a saying:
“True love’s kiss will fill your heart with love, but it’s his c*ck that will make you cream.”
Who knows? I might even find a prince there to give me a happy ending.
There’s no room for grumpy, sleepy and dopey in my life,
not when I can have horny, cocky and lucky.
A cowboy, an athlete, and a biker... maybe even a billionaire too.
Seven is my lucky charm. Let’s see which one is my happily-ever-after...
Sometimes the fix is worth the fall.
Ezra Mackenzie is a disaster, but at least he’s a disaster in recovery. He hasn’t done much he’s proud of the last few years, and he’s got a lot of work to do before he can look himself in the mirror and like what he sees. Let alone attempt re-entering the dating world—what kind of woman would be interested in a screw-up like him, anyway?
Then he meets Juliana Almeida—and she is more than interested.
Knowing full-well that romance ought to come second to his shaky new sobriety, Ezra tries to keep his distance. But her allure is too strong, and self-control hasn’t ever been his strong suit. Juliana believes in him—or at least the him he lets her see. As he nears the one-year mark in his recovery, Ezra’s demons refuse to stay buried and his desire to be the man Juliana deserves can’t compete with the fix he never stops craving.
What Ezra doesn’t know yet is that sometimes the fix is worth the fall.
What would you do...
If the man of your wet dreams made you an offer?
One that made you blush.
But accepting would mean total and complete submission.
It's what I do...
I see a woman I desire and I go all in.
One-hundred thousand dollars.
My private estate.
Non - stop orgasms.
No strings attached.
But there’s one catch...
I own her for those fourteen glorious days.
Every delicious morsel.
It’s how I feed the beast at night.
So I can conquer the world by day.
It's my equilibrium.
At least it was, until two weeks stopped being enough. How will I convince the woman of my dreams to stay after she's had a taste of the beast?
This Billionaire Romance contains light-BDSM. There's no pain. It's all about her pleasure. It's a full length story with no cliff-hanger and a HEA. I've also included bonus books for your enjoyment.
Meet the Maverick Billionaires―sexy, self-made men from the wrong side of town who survived hell together and now have everything they ever wanted. But when each Maverick falls head-over-heels for an incredible woman he never saw coming, he will soon find that true love is the only thing he ever really needed...
An exciting and emotional new contemporary romance series from New York Times and USA Today bestselling authors Bella Andre and Jennifer Skully!
BOOK DESCRIPTION:
Will Franconi has a dark past that he's kept a closely guarded secret―very few people have ever heard his real story and he plans to keep it that way. After surviving a hellish childhood, he's now living the dream life where everything he touches turns to gold. But something’s missing. He doesn't quite know what until a simple letter from a teenage boy brings Harper Newman into his life. A woman who just might fill up the empty places inside him...if only he could ever be worthy of her love.
When a man has more money than he could possibly spend in five lifetimes, Harper has to ask herself what Will Franconi could possibly want from a woman like her? She's learned the hard way that rich men always get what they want no matter the cost. If it was just herself she had to worry about, Harper would manage, but she's guardian to her younger brother who depends on her for everything. After nearly losing his life in a car crash, she's vowed never to let anyone hurt him ever again.
Still, sometimes Harper can't help but long to change her story from one of an always-cautious woman to an adventurous tale of a heroine who's wild and free...especially when Will's kisses and caresses make her utterly breathless. And as he begins to reveal his story to her, she discovers that he's so much more than just another wealthy, privileged man. He's kind and giving, and he fills up all the spaces inside of her heart that have been empty for so long. Together, can they rewrite their stories into a happily-ever-after that neither of them had previously thought was possible?
