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).
Don’t miss this fan-favorite tale of second chances by #1 New York Times bestselling author Nora Roberts.
It’s been twelve years, but very little in Hyatt Town, Maryland has changed. Vanessa Sexton, a successful concert pianist, has finally come home to the small town after having her heart shattered all those years ago. In some ways her high school sweetheart, Brady Tucker, hasn’t changed much either—he is still lean, athletic, rugged…But the once reckless boy had become a solid, dependable man. He’d stood her up on the most important night of her life; can she ever trust him again?
“You can’t bottle wish fulfillment, but Nora Roberts certainly knows how to put it on the page.”
—New York Times
Originally published in 1992.
In the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains lies a small town with a big heart—and a chance to begin again . . .
When Hannah Montgomery buys a lavender farm in Blue Hollow Falls with three friends, she’s creating a life she never imagined—one she hopes will honor the memory of the sweet young son she tragically lost years ago. Standing on the porch of the sprawling farmhouse, looking out on row upon row of those lush purple plumes, Hannah is ready to embrace this fresh, new start . . .
Then she meets Wilson McCall. The stonemason hired to fix their crumbling chimneys and leaky roof is quieter than most folks in the Falls. Hannah’s not surprised to learn the widower struggles with his own grief. Who could blame her if she finds joy in making Will laugh again, or if she feels a poignant kinship when she sees him with his teenaged son? But her deepening friendship with Will reminds Hannah that there’s a part of her that still needs to heal—awakening a tender yearning to have a life that isn’t just good enough, but lived fully—even if that means taking risks once more . . .

Dear Mr. Brisken,
How do I hate you?
Let me count the ways.
>I hate your smug, sexy millionaire face.
>I hate your cocky, skirt chasing, playboy ways.
>I hate working as your secretary--but, I love the pay. It almost makes dealing with you worth it.
>I hate how my friends call you a BILF, when really BILK (Boss I'd like to kill) is more appropriate.
>I hate that I need you to be my date for my best friend's wedding because my ex-boyfriend, the King of Heartbreakers, and his new busty blonde girlfriend will be in attendance.
>But mostly, I hate how once the charade is over, I might not hate you at all . . .it was so much easier when you were the Boss I Love To Hate.

Still a biker and an outlaw, he goes where the road takes him. He hooks up with women for a while then when the restlessness sets in, he kisses them goodbye and is gone in the blink of an eye.
He doesn’t want anything or anyone crimping his style. He came from a background that taught him to trust no one and that loving anyone causes pain.
Yeah … he’s just fine on his own.
Then Dakota crashes into his life and turns it upside down.
The girl’s trouble.
She’s got a ton of baggage.
And she’s driving him crazy with desire.
Dakota has demons inside her that no one can chase away. The last thing she wants is a man in her life. Men only want to use and abuse women and she’s had her fill of them.
But then she meets Cobra, and even though her logic tells her he’s a dangerous and ruthless outlaw, her body wants him in the worst way.
As she gets to know him, a side of him comes out that Dakota doubts anyone has seen.
And just when she puts her guard down and trusts him, her world comes crashing down on her.
Can Cobra soothe the demons inside Dakota, and can she teach Cobra to let someone into his solitary life?

This guy could offer me the moon, and I’d hand it right back.
Never in a million years did I expect to run into the biggest crush of my childhood.
But, of course, I have.
And I’m reporting to him at the new company I landed a big-time job at.
Arrogant. Hot as hell. Total jackass.
Why he’s still single is no mystery to me. He’s not willing to settle down.
He’s always been that way, and as far as I’m concerned, he always will be.
But, boy, is he beautiful to look at. Every part of me screams "run" as my insides turn to mush.
No. Not me too…
Not again. I should be immune by now.
I know him far too well to fall into this hopeless pit of adoration again.
But maybe there’s a way around it. It’s his power that drives me over the edge of insanity.
If I were the boss instead of him, I’d hold all the cards.
Good thing I’m always up for a challenge.
Funnily enough, this guy thinks he’s going to score.
He might have to redefine what getting lucky looks like after me.
At least, that’s the plan.
I was no one, just another American tourist backpacking her away across the world. Until I stumbled into the arms of not one, but two beautiful British men:
Prince Roland. The blonde-haired, blue-eyed, drop-dead-gorgeous prince of England. Cocky, brilliant, with the biggest…heart of anyone I’ve ever met.
Ben Tolle. The dark-eyed, brooding former-soldier turned bodyguard. They say the quiet ones are always the kinkiest, and his hands are powerful instruments that make me weak in the knees.
They love me and each other—and I love them. Now I’m pregnant and I don’t know how to break the news. Worse, there are people who hate our unconventional union…people who would do anything to see us torn apart.
The world wants me to make a choice. But this American Princess doesn’t roll over. I’m going to fight for my family and the happy ending we deserve. Together.

Bet’s on. Any takers?

Amber
How would I describe myself?
Single mom.
Strong as steel.
Stupid – because I listen to my heart and not my head.
Logan
This job interview was supposed to get Amber in front of me so I could apologize for hurting her. So I could figure out how to get a second chance to make her mine.
I don’t care if she’s had kids since us – I’ve always wanted to be a dad.
She’s my best friend’s li’l sis – we’ll figure that out.
I’ve got money – but I can’t buy her.
I was her first – she was mine.
I want her to be my last.
Wait…is that even possible?
One kiss changed everything.
Sounds like something out of a fairy tale, but it’s more like a reality TV show.
And thanks to that show, I finally get my big chance at fame.
But there’s a catch.
My fiancée needs to star in the show too. The damn thing is for couples.
The only problem?
I’m not engaged.
But that’s not going to stop me.
Surely, there’s a lucky lady in the world willing to play my fake fiancée for a trip to Hawaii.
And I know just the girl.
But things never work out as planned, and I have to make a decision soon after we get to the show.
What’ll it be?
The fame I’ve lusted after, or the real love I never expected to find?
I need a wife. Now.
It doesn’t have to do with love and living the good life. This is all about getting the money my billionaire father left to me.
And I’m running out of time.
But who proposes to a stranger after the first date?
Me. That’s who. As if I have another choice.
Luck is on my side though, and a beautiful model shows up in my office.
Single? Gorgeous? Funny? All of the above.
Our first date goes so well that I feel unsure about my decision to do this thing with her—you know, fake it. I put it off and decide to do it later, to ask for her help after we get to know each other better.
But I like her more and more each time we meet, and eventually, offering her a ring isn’t for my dad’s money—it’s because I want her more than anything else in the world.
Besides, who’s going to know if it’s fake or real? And does it really matter?
Yeah. It does.
To her…
I take what I want, and what I want is Olivia...
I wanted her the moment I saw her.
Virgin curves, sun-kissed lips, legs that wouldn't quit.
She craved adventure, and I craved her.
Billionaires don't ask permission, they just take.
So I took Olivia... all night long.
Before I could taste her again, she disappeared.
Two years later, she's back. Olivia's my new secretary.
And she has a big secret, my son.
We revisited our past. And woke up with a ring on our fingers.
This marriage may be a mistake, but my vows are real.
But someone's still trying to keep us apart...
And whoever kept me away from my family will f*cking pay!

An Amazon Top 10 Bestseller!
When Valerie Stephens made the resolution to say yes to new adventures, she never thought she'd end up in the tiny town of Shambles, fake engaged to one of Ireland's top rugby players. But there's a first time for everything...including losing your heart.
My Life in Shambles is an emotional and sexy new standalone contemporary romance from the New York Times bestselling author of A Nordic King and The Pact.
They say bad things happen in threes.
After my boyfriend broke off our engagement, I lost my apartment, and was laid off from my job, I can definitely attest to that.
They also say life is what happens when you say yes to new adventures.
So when my two sisters invited me to ring in the new year in Ireland, I decided to throw all caution to the wind and go for it. I was going to let "saying yes" be my new resolution.
Little did I know I'd spend New Year's Eve having a hot and dirty one-night stand with Padraig McCarthy, one hell of a sexy Irishman. I also didn't know that the brooding and intense sex god was one of Ireland's top rugby players.
A rugby player with a proposition for me:
Come with him to his tiny hometown of Shambles and pretend to be his fiancé for a few days, just so that his ailing father can have some peace of mind.
It sounded simple enough.
It was anything but.
Not when a town gets up in your business, not when the media hunts you down, not when your past comes back in the picture, not when there are real hearts and feelings at stake.
Not when there are secrets that could break you.
They say life is what happens when you say yes to new adventures.
This is my life in Shambles.
WARNING: this book will pull at your heartstrings. It is recommended to have a box of tissues ready, and maybe some wine. But don't worry, you're in good hands. Also contains sex and foul language, sensitive readers be advised.
