You need love AND suspense.  You need two people on the verge of falling in love---while clinging to the side of a cliff.  Well, that what we and our eBookHounds' promoting authors are here to give you.  Heart wrenching romance and gut wrenching suspense, all wrapped up in a pretty little ebook.  And, always free or discounted for you.  Read away!

 

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).

My Ex-Boyfriend's Daddy (Once Upon a Daddy Book 9)

by Kelli Callahan


I used to call him Daddy as a joke...

Arlo was my ex-boyfriend's father and my boss.
He was my rock when everyone else abandoned me.
But I still wasn't strong enough to stay.
I thought running away was the right thing to do.

Three years later, a twist of fate brought us back together.

It started out as innocent flirting.
Then it changed from innocent, to giving him my innocence.
But nobody can find out what we did.
Especially his son.
It would ruin their already rocky relationship.

Just because I call him Daddy for another reason now doesn't mean he will choose me.

And if he did, am I ready to face everything I ran from?

This is a standalone May/December Romance that will melt your Kindle and your heart.

The Holiday Bride (The Wilde Brothers Book 9)

by Lorhainne Eckhart


All Trinity Cooper Wilde wanted was a quiet Christmas alone with her baby, a baby no one knows about but her twin sister, Dawn.

Dawn has warned Trinity that she needs to come clean and tell everyone about the baby, including the father, Garrett Franke, their former neighbor, whom Trinity has hated since tenth grade—with the exception of one night last year, a mistake.

Her family is starting to wonder why she hasn’t come home to visit in over six months, and Trinity knows time is running out. She plans to tell everyone, but she gets happily stuck in an unexpected snowstorm in her tiny cabin, located outside a small Idaho town.

Deputy Garrett Franke still can’t get Trinity out of his mind, especially considering he works side by side with her dad, Sheriff Logan Wilde. When Dawn unexpectedly pulls him aside one day, he allows her to convince him to drive out to a remote cabin in the middle of a snowstorm to check on her sister, whom no one has heard from since the storm hit.

That’s the thing about snowstorms: You never know who’ll show up at your door, and a baby isn’t the kind of secret that can stay that way for long.

The Kiss Quotient

by Helen Hoang


One of Washington Post’s 50 Notable Works of Fiction in 2018

"This is such a fun read and it's also quite original and sexy and sensitive."--Roxane Gay, New York Times bestselling author

"Hoang's writing bursts from the page."--Buzzfeed

A heartwarming and refreshing debut novel that proves one thing: there's not enough data in the world to predict what will make your heart tick.


Stella Lane thinks math is the only thing that unites the universe. She comes up with algorithms to predict customer purchases--a job that has given her more money than she knows what to do with, and way less experience in the dating department than the average thirty-year-old.

It doesn't help that Stella has Asperger's and French kissing reminds her of a shark getting its teeth cleaned by pilot fish. Her conclusion: she needs lots of practice--with a professional. Which is why she hires escort Michael Phan. The Vietnamese and Swedish stunner can't afford to turn down Stella's offer, and agrees to help her check off all the boxes on her lesson plan--from foreplay to more-than-missionary position...

Before long, Stella not only learns to appreciate his kisses, but crave all of the other things he's making her feel. Their no-nonsense partnership starts making a strange kind of sense. And the pattern that emerges will convince Stella that love is the best kind of logic...

Lie For Me

by Ali Parker


Maybe I can borrow this beautiful single mom for one night to get what I need.

Get your mind out of the gutter.

My benefactor is up for donating a large sum of money to my retreat center and he needs a little persuading.

Perhaps a ready-made family is just what the doctor ordered.

Except I’m falling for this woman and her girls.

My single life is falling apart as I try hard to avoid love and fail.

I’ve been running my own private wilderness retreat and I love it.

Just me, nature, and solace.

Until her. Our paths cross as she comes to the retreat center for a company getaway.

My mind spins a million webs and my body percolates at the possibilities.

She’s the one. I can feel it. But I need this to be more of a business transaction than a love affair.

I’m hoping I can lie to myself about what’s happening with my heart.

At least long enough for her to help me get financing for my company.

All I need is for her to lie for me.
