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).
I hooked up with a sexy masked stranger...
And he turned out to be my enemy!
The worst part?
I'm now carrying a BIG secret.

But what happened at the ball can't stay at the ball.
Because we're living under the same roof.
He's staying at my B&B.
And the uptight jerk is set on driving me crazy.
I thought all the madness would come to an end.
Instead, I fell for the cocky Casanova.
And he's carrying a secret of his own.
Falling for your nemesis is one thing.
But when I find out his huge royal secret...
The world is about to turn upside down.
I wonder if now's a good time to tell him about our baby?
Love finds him, in the most devastating manner possible...
In the grief and heartbreak of being separated from his cherished family, young Prince Alejandro denies his feelings and his very being, bonding irrevocably to the only thing he has left: España. As he was born and bred to do, Alejandro gives his life to Spain.
Now grown, Prince Alejandro is charming, dazzlingly handsome, the most powerful man in his country--and unable to connect to either himself or anyone else.
It's the clash of the titan egos between a diva Parisian opera singer and the crown prince of Spain. His royal highness cannot tolerate Nicolette when she speaks, but he must confront the bizarre truth that when she sings, this bewitching prima donna is the miraculous key to his transformation.
An Edwardian Royal Romance.
Rating: Sensual and romantic. The focus is on the romance with adherence to the cultural mores of the time, consistent with historical fiction.
Not everyone deserves a second chance.
My brother’s best friend surely doesn’t after leaving home without a concern.
Even when my brother died, he couldn’t handle it.
Good for him. Life moves on and changes.
After years of trying to make it in New York, I find myself headed back home.
This time with a little girl and no hubs to help.
I’m a big girl though. I can make this work in my favor.
Until he shows up. And fate would have it that I’m forced to go out for coffee with him to make up for an accident I caused.
He’s beyond gorgeous, a billionaire, and stares at me like I’m the only woman in the room.
And he wants to help me dream again.
First about business, then about love.
I try to refuse, but he has this way about him.
He’s bullheaded and dominant, unwilling to relent.
Scarily enough, he’s exactly what I need.
I’m doing the one thing I hoped I wouldn’t—falling for him.
Again.
Captured by Comanche as a child, Molly Hart was assumed dead. Ten years later, Texas Ranger Matt Ryan finds a woman with the same blue eyes.
“A rousing, spicy story of long lost love in the gritty Old West. The Wren will make your pulse flutter and your heart sing.” —Ann Charles, USA Today Bestselling Author of the Award-winning Deadwood Mystery Series
Ten years have passed since Molly Hart’s ranch was attacked, her folks murdered and she was abducted. Now, at nineteen, she’s finally returning home to North Texas after spending the remainder of her childhood with a tribe of Kwahadi Comanche.

Matt Ryan is pushed by a restless wind to the broken-down remains of the Hart ranch. Recently recovered from an imprisonment that nearly ended his life, the drive for truth and fairness has all but abandoned him. For ten years he faithfully served the U.S. Army and the Texas Rangers, seeking justice for the brutal murder of a little girl, only to find closure and healing beyond his grasp. Returning to the place where it all began, he’s stunned to encounter a woman with the same blue eyes as the child he can’t put out of his mind.

Until tonight. Tonight, he’s determined to make me his and – God help me – I’m going to let him.

Leah Martin has a secret that she's not ready to admit to the world: she's pregnant. Leah has always wanted to be a mom, but the circumstances are all wrong. When a local contractor, Beau Hill, bumps into her at the doctor's office two towns over, Leah is certain it won't be long before all of Yearly knows her private business. So she corners the handsome handyman and demands he keep her pregnancy news quiet until she's ready to tell.
Beauregard Franklin Hill, or "Beau" to those who know him best, is a pragmatic man. The shortest distance between two points is a straight line. Yet, when he inadvertently stumbles into Leah Martin's private life, he knows he has to do something to help the new mom. The only problem? Beau doesn't know how to assemble a baby shower, and he's in way over his head.
They both just might fall head-over-heels into happily ever after.
Love in December has a touch of laughter, a few tears, and a lot of heart in a small-town, secret-child romance.

Each book in The Yearly, Texas Romance Series is a standalone romance. They can be read in any order.
My mother wants all her kids and grandkids to spend Christmas Eve at her house and wake up on Christmas morning together. Sounds reasonable, right?
And it would be.
If it weren’t my mother.
My husband, Declan, is protesting any involvement, though he’s openly intrigued by the idea of claiming his territory by having sex in my childhood bed.
And by intrigued, I mean a series of really hot suggestions that make me whimper when I have to say no.
Wait — why am I saying no, again?
Mom has turned her house into a Christmas showcase that makes Frankenmuth look like the picked-over clearance rack at Target on December 26. You know those crazy people on Etsy who make felted gnomes out of belly-button lint and use… a certain kind of hair… to make thatched roofs on little decorative elf homes?
Those people are saner than my mother.
There is no force of nature stronger — or more emotionally volatile — than a fifty-something grandmother determined to create holiday memories.
Wait a minute. Maybe there is.
My husband.
A Halloween party. A chance encounter. A blooming relationship. An explosive demise.
Sounds like a regular college romance, right?
But for me, it was four years of my life I’ll never forget.
I went to that Halloween party a single, curious college girl and left as the apple of a man’s eye.
As Brett’s dedicated little sweet treat.
Four wonderful years… and one night is all that it took.
One night and my life was shattered.
I watched him walk away…
And today, I’m sitting in his billion dollar company interviewing for a job.
Memories resurface, secrets are revealed, and…
I am making the same mistake.
Falling for a cheating, heartbreaking man for a second time.
I shouldn’t be doing this…he’s ex for a reason.
Not only that, he’s my boss!
Mistakes have consequences,
And mine is evident from the two positive lines on the pregnancy test.
Cal Olin is a grudging member of the Immorti. A resurrected Aztec warrior, he knows he has much to atone for but doesn't believe waiting for an enemy who hasn't appeared in hundreds of years is the best way to do it. He'd prefer to spend his time in his CEO role with Civica, an organization dedicated to righting wrongs.
However, when Cal sees the unconscious body of a woman near a magical portal, he knows the long period of peace has come to an end. He's shocked to discover the woman is Dr. Iliana Rogers, Civica's second-in-command. The beautiful, argumentative thorn in his side has managed to open the gate and set off a chain reaction that could end the world. Is she an agent of evil or an unknowing pawn? He has to find out.
Nightmares have taken over Iliana's dreams and with Cal, she no longer feels alone. But when he breaks into her house and tells her, incredibly, that he's immortal, she knows she's been living an illusion. It's a shock to find out he was telling the truth and that her own mother was an agent of the malevolent Nilohum—and that she herself is fated to end the world.
As Iliana searches for the truth, Cal struggles with a terrible choice: does he help the woman he loves, or does he stop the end of the world and risk Iliana's love…and life?

NOT ALL FAIRYTALES END AT MIDNIGHT
Elle Davenport is no princess—she just dresses up as one for her job at a local theme park. But when she gets the call that she’s won a contest to live and work at a real-life castle in Virginia, she finally feels like she’s found her calling. If she’s successful, her venture could become permanent, and that sounds like Elle’s idea of the perfect modern-day fairytale. There’s only one problem: the castle’s grumpy—and sexy—new owner wants her gone as soon as possible.
Theo Langdon never imagined he’d inherit the title of Earl of Highcastle so young. With his grandfather’s recent death, he needs to sell Rosemont Castle so he can return to London. If only he wasn’t butting heads with the vivacious new property manager at every corner. Although he’s got a life waiting for him in London, Rosemont Castle suddenly feels a lot like home, thanks to Elle. As the clock winds down on her time at the castle, he’ll have to reconcile his obligations in London with the American woman who’s stolen his heart.
Aric Prince is an All-American high school football star with a body built like a Greek god and hair so beautiful he could sell shampoo by the boatloads.
The only problem is that Aric’s also a rich, arrogant, and gigantic prick. Nothing but filth and insults come out of his smirking mouth, constantly reminding me that poor, trailer park trash girls like myself don’t belong in his pretentious academy.
Aric and his best friends all think they’re untouchable.
But the cocky bastard is finally going down this year.
I’ve hit the motherload of blackmail on the jerk, pun intended, and I can’t wait to give him exactly what he deserves.
Aric Prince’s reign at the academy is coming to an end.
Before I’m done with him, he’ll be on his knees, begging for mercy.
Hosting her brother’s wedding for an MVP guest list is the challenge of Jess Canning’s life. Already the family screw-up, she can’t afford to fail. And nobody (nobody!) can learn of the colossal mistake she made with the best man during a weak moment last spring. It was wrong, and there will not be a repeat. Absolutely not. Even if he is the sexiest thing on two legs.
Blake Riley sees the wedding as fate’s gift to him. Jess is the maid of honor and he’s the best man? Let the games begin. So what if he’s facing a little (fine, a lot) of resistance? He just needs to convince the stubborn blonde that he’s really a good boy with a bad rap. Luckily, every professional hockey player knows that you’ve got to make an effort if you want to score.
But Jess has more pressing issues to deal with than sexy-times with a giant man-child. Such as: Will the ceremony start on time, even though someone got grandma drunk? Does glitter ever belong at a wedding? And is it wrong to murder the best man?
Caution: May cause accidental aspiration of tea or coffee. Do not read in a public place where loud laughter is inappropriate. Contains hot but hilarious hockey players, puppy cuddling and a snarky pair of underwear.
