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).

Like paint stunning, colorful portraits of her,
And then invite her and her art class to my exhibit.

I know it’s the beginning of something truly beautiful.
Too bad her arrogant father is ruthless and controlling,
Thinking I don't have a real job and can't take care of her.

I vow to be a better father than her old man ever was.
Because nothing will come between my muse and our tiny masterpiece.
Two billionaires determined to claim her.
And a war fought on the most dangerous battlefield-the heart.

When Logan suddenly starts asking her to work overtime in his office, it all comes down to the inevitable...
