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 was born an Elite and forged by the king.
I’m ruthless and soulless, a bastard to fear.
I’m merciless, I’m fierce, and trained to kill.
I’m broken, I’m evil, not worthy of her love.
My Baby Girl has a halo; she’s truly an angel.
I always knew she’s my soul mate, and yet I force myself to wait.
This wild need compels me to claim her and drives me insane.
My heart aches, my soul rages, and I refuse to have her near.
I can’t crown her my queen; thus, the kingdom is not at peace.
The danger and intrigue shroud the Elite.
The wrath of war is in the air, and a woman’s scorn is always a power to fear.

I only know that we belong, and our souls are fated to be one.

Yvette clear green eyes tear up, she sniffs, glaring at him she points her index finger against his hard-chiseled chest, emphasizing every word.
“Don’t you get it?
Really? I can’t stand this! You keep telling me that. I’m trying to be patient.

you’re out. . . . out there with some hussies! I. . . . . want . . . .you, I want to see you every day!”

“Do you know what I want? I want you to handle your needs yourself or come to me. This bullshit that I have needs doesn’t cut it!”
“Ok, I’ll handle it because we’re waiting!”

When the bank turns her down for a loan, Drew sees a double opportunity—he can finance her brilliant, unique idea to rock Happily Inc’s wedding industry and win back her trust.
Despite her reputation, Silver’s not as tough as she seems. Losing Drew nearly destroyed her. Still, his kisses are as tempting as his offer to invest in her business. If she can’t quite get over him, maybe she should get under him and knock him out of her system once and for all.
But her best laid plans begin to unravel as Silver finds herself falling even harder than when they were high school sweethearts. Which means that she’ll have to come clean about the secret she’s been hiding from him for years—and risk losing him forever.

He can’t forget
Former SEAL Matt Walker was dishonorably discharged for the crime of protecting the innocent. Now he’s licking his wounds in a remote mountain retreat, minding his own goddamn business.

Honor is amazing. Smart, tough, brave. She slipped her shackles and somehow escaped from her cruel captors. She doesn't know how or why. Whatever it is that she did, whatever she does or doesn’t remember about what happened—those filthy bastards who tried to hurt her are going down, and he’s just the man to make it happen.
But now the stakes are bigger than either of them ever imagined. While their passion rages, they must race the clock to stop a devastating attack against their country. …
Trapped in his tiny mountain cabin, she didn't expect to fall for his big heart.

Instead of basking in the glory of her article’s success, she’s on the run from a powerful man who wants her dead. To stay safe, she’s forced to trade one bad situation for another. Stuck in the Montana wilderness, she’s secluded from anything resembling civilization or the modern-day world. The only good thing about her situation is the gorgeous mountain man assigned to protect her. Too bad he isn’t the slightest bit interested in a city girl like her.
Beau likes his life quiet and simple. Give him a peaceful day hiking in the woods with his dog, and he’s a happy man. He has no use for large crowds, noisy cities or dramatic women. So when a hotshot reporter rolls into town, dragging her big-time problems with her, he should have run for the hills. Instead, he volunteered to keep her safe. Bringing her into his world won’t be easy, but if he can convince her that Montana isn’t as terrifying as she believes, they might just be the perfect match.

Contains WILD, DIRTY, and SECRET - all three books in Luke and Shelly's complete story! This boxed set from the Chicago Underground series is over 450 pages long.
WILD
Once upon a time I was the girl who had everything, the clothes, the car. The rich dad who spoiled me. But the truth was, the only thing I had was my body. I used it to buy my way out.
That's how I became a call girl.
There's only one man who makes me wish things had been different. One man who could never be with a girl like me. Luke is a cop. Untouchable. Unbreakable. And dangerous in his own way.
When I end up on the run, he's the only one I can turn to.
And he just might be my downfall.
DIRTY
There's no escape for me. I'm tied to some of the scariest men in Chicago. Bound so tight I'll never get free.
I'll do anything to survive, except bring Luke down with me. I won't taint him. I won't ruin the one good man I've ever met. I won't turn him into a dirty cop.
Except he refuses to let me go.
SECRET
I'm the one with the dark past, the scarlet letter, the soul so black there's no hope of redemption. At least, that's what I always believed...
Luke has secrets of his own, and the more I search, the more I'm afraid of what I'll find. But I have to know. My survival depends on it.
****************
WILD DIRTY SECRET is a sexy suspense novel told in three parts, all of which are included in this bundle! Not intended for those uncomfortable with the subject matter or those under eighteen.
There’s bad, and inappropriate, and scandalous, and wrong.
And then there’s giving your v-card to your gorgeous and dominant high school government Professor, on his desk, five minutes after you turn eighteen.
Oh I’ve been a bad, bad girl…
Winchester Academy is home to a lot of things – the spoiled rich kids of the world’s elite, ivy-covered walls, typical high school drama and angst, and him – Professor Oliver Bard. Dominant, alpha, and completely freaking gorgeous.
I know he looks at me, even if he sees me as forbidden fruit—tempting and off-limits. But I’ve been obsessed with him for way, way too long, which is why I purposefully got myself thrown into his infamous “midnight detention” on the eve of my eighteenth birthday.
Just the two of us, alone, watching the clock tick down.
Yesterday, this would be illegal. Today, it’s just plain wrong. Wrong, sick, morally reprehensible, and achingly hot.
This could ruin him, and put a scarlet letter on my back for the rest of high school. But once I feel those big hands on me, and once I get a taste of his perfect, forbidden mouth, and once he shows me things I’ve only ever dreamed about, imagining him, I know there’s no going back.
I know I should say no, but that’s a little hard to do when his mouth and hands and…well, other things are only making me scream “yes, professor”…
Each of the Winchester Academy books are completely standalone stories, with no cliffhangers.
Hot, wild, and insta-love galore, with an utterly obsessed alpha hero and an untouched, very, very off-limits heroine. If you love over-the-top, slightly unrealistic, and wildly dirty stories, this one’s for you! As with all my books, this steamy novella is safe, with no cheating, and a HEA guaranteed.
I’ll never love again after losing my wife.
There’s no time for it anyway.
My daughter is my main focus, along with fighting fires for a living.
I’ve closed up my heart and decided the bachelor life is for me.
Or that was the plan.
And yet there’s something about my daughter’s teacher.
The woman unravels me—one smile at a time.
Too bad she’s off limits.
A casual fling would be nice. But no, it’s not right.
Unfortunately, the pretty woman who’s staining my dreams disagrees.
She wants what I want, and so much more.
No matter how badly I fight it, all bets are off, and I’m losing this battle.
She lights a fire inside me that rivals the ones I’ve dedicated my life to fighting.
And no matter how much I fight it, this woman is mine.
Now. Tomorrow. Forever.
Every Good Girl Deserves a Bad Boy. ~ Weston
Doctor Winters… would you like to be a daddy… my baby daddy?
It would just take one little accident, right?
I… I want a baby,
No, no… I don’t want IVF,
I want it the ‘old fashioned way’.
I want it …. with you, doctor.

I am supposed to be evaluating the qualities I want in a donor.
But, all I am thinking about is,
How about Doctor Winters as the… omg…
We all deserve a second chance in life, right?
Well, I know it’s not going to happen,
I know what I did back then was unpardonable,
And yet, I am dreaming about our future.
Dreaming about him rubbing my swollen pregnancy feet,
Dreaming about him running out at midnight to satisfy my weird food cravings,
Dreaming about him feeling my belly when the baby kicks.
A high-school sweetheart, now my fertility doctor, and in the future…
Well, who knows…
Judge me all you want,
Call me the queen of scandals, if you will!
