Definition of the "Romantic Suspense Genre": The Romantic Suspense genre is oftentimes the bestselling subgenre of Romance, though that can vascillate with historical romance. The elements of a romance need to be there--a budding relationship between two people that overcomes obstacles and succeeds in the end. But, the critical elements of suspense in that romance setting also need to be interwoven expertly. Those include action, adventure, and oftentimes, a heroine that has been wronged and a hero who attempts to help right that wrong. Through their work to right the wrong, they are brought closer together and what would you know? They fall in love. Honestly, you can think of many, many Disney movie scripts for this storyline (start with Frozen).
Some examples of the top ebooks in the Romantic Suspense genre are Mary Stewart (Nine Coaches Waiting), Tiffany Snow (No Turning Back), Colleen Hoover (Never, Never), and Melinda Leigh (She Can Run).

And the man I’ve always wanted on top of me.
I can’t help it.
Can you blame me after that one night?
He adored my curves… made me feel beautiful, smart, desired, and everything in between.
Yes, all of that… and more.
He also gave me the one thing I never thought I needed.
My daughter.
She reminds me of him. I couldn’t escape him if I tried.
Especially now that life has brought us together again.
But our past is not the only secret in the room this time around…
He’s in for a massive surprise. Or should I say shock?

She was here to check our cattle, not me.
The last thing I need is a sexy veterinarian to distract me.
My ex was only after money.
I learned my lesson.
No way would I let flirting with the pretty new vet,
Turn into anything more.

Fighting the sexual tension between us is a losing battle.
Taking her to bed is natural, incredible.
It’s just for fun. Nothing serious.
But when a strange virus starts sickening our steers,
Jeopardizing our contracts,
I know I can trust Tessa to help.
Except maybe I can’t trust her at all.
A rancher tells me Tessa dumped him because I have more money.
I fell for her, and she’s just like my ex.
I don’t know who the real fool is.

Besides – we tried this once before and I know how our love story ends. We burned hot and heavy for one month in high school and then he left me for the head cheerleader.
So why is he kissing me goodnight, and why am I letting him?
I thought Speed Dating would be a waste of time, and then my hunky stepbrothers show up with their gorgeous friends Nick and Oscar.
I'm mortified: they might think I'm an easy lay or that any of this is my idea. It's not, I was dragged here by my BFF.
Seven minutes with each man is long enough to find out that Nick and Oscar are funny, charming, and sweet. Their smiles make me blush. And I'd like to meet them again and get to know them better.
It is also enough time to discover my stepbrothers both have the hots for me.
Matthew Harris has the decency and good sense to know we must not do anything about our mutual attraction, not when we live under the same roof.
However, his twin brother, Luke wastes none of his seven minutes on small talk. He wants to take me home to do the filthy things I've only dreamed of.
And I'm tempted to say yes.
How can I choose one of their friends when all four men want me?

Laurence Riley might be able to see the future, but he can't see a way to fix his messed-up life. He can't control anything—not his supernatural talents, not his drug addiction, and not his violent ex-boyfriend. Laurence needs help and he knows it. A lifelong pagan, he turns to his god... and he gets Jack. Jack can help Laurence tame his powers and take control of his life. But it comes at a price: Laurence will need to keep him fed with regular offerings of sex. For the old Laurence, that would've been a pleasure. Problem is, Laurence has met Quentin.
Quentin is devastatingly handsome, way out of Laurence's league (like British nobility levels of out-of-his-league), and unbearably chaste. If that weren’t enough to keep Laurence away, Quentin's wild telekinesis is even more uncontrollable than Laurence's precognition. But Laurence doesn't want anyone else, and Jack is getting hungry.
Then Laurence foresees a glimpse of Jack's true plan. It will leave a trail of death across San Diego--and Laurence has been helping him do it. The past has taught him that the future can't be changed. But if Laurence and Quentin can't stop Jack, there won't be any future at all.

An epic and addictive roller coaster ride of a romance that’s unforgettably heart-wrenching and jaw-dropping, brought to you by Wall Street Journal and USA Today Best Selling Author, Willow Winters.
Our love story isn't a tragedy but it sure as hell started out like one.
I grew up in the life, and learned to hate everything in this town.
Everything but her. She was my constant through it all.
Just a look would tempt and torment.
Just a touch would singe and soothe.
I only survived because she was by my side.
I feared the danger would bleed into what we had.
After all, she was too good for this world. But I was too far gone to push her away.
I was Laura’s downfall.
Problem was, she was mine too.
Hard to Love is book 1 of the Hard to Love, romantic suspense, series.
"This highly addictive read had me glued to its pages, and unable to put it down. This story will have you jaw-dropping, gasping for breath, and begging for more!" Sarah, SWBR Book Blog & Reviews

That’s what the note with orange juice and a muffin next to my bed says when I wake up.
That’s it. No phone number, no text.
I don’t even know his last name or where he lives.
I mean - really? We nearly make the king-size bed in our hotel room break down (twice!) and my ONS from last night doesn’t even bother to say goodbye?
Gosh, I hope I never see this jerk again.
But it seems like the Universe has different plans for me.
Because when I start my new job, guess who’s my new boss?
Right, Mr. I’m-so-handsome-and-I-know-it.
Getting a tooth pulled is fun compared to being his assistant.
He’s cold, arrogant and demanding, and nothing I ever do seems good enough for him.
If I didn’t desperately need the money, I’d quit right away.
