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).

Royal a$$h0le, daddy’s best friend, and also my new boss.
But how on earth did we end up making a baby?
Was it just a mistake?
Well, let’s go back a few years.
I was innocent and naïve.
He was off limits.
But that was the challenge, right?
Finally, I seduced him into a no strings attached relationship.
Yep, I’m the s$xy kind of innocent.
And then that one mistake…
Oops, daddy’s gonna kill him if he finds out.
And the board is going to fire him for sleeping with an intern.
I guess I should keep this baby a secret – even from the father.
Wasn’t this supposed to be no strings attached?
Oh well…how many pieces can a heart break into!

With a reputation for fast moves on the gridiron and even faster moves off the field, Shane Devlin is a player in every sense of the word. Unfortunately, his bad boy persona has made him a risky prospect as a quarterback—and only the Baltimore Blaze are willing to give him a chance. But he’s is about to take a hit he never expected.
Working for the Blaze, Carly March knows too well how jocks think—and what they think with—so she’s always made a point of keeping ballplayers at arm’s length. But when she shares a kiss with the devilishly handsome Shane, she finds it hard to play by her own rules—and even harder to resist him

I’M LIZETTE CLARY, copywriter by day and Epic Fail Girl by night. I’m an internet meme so notorious that I made a brand out of being human wreckage. Now I’m up for a promotion to New Media Editor at my real job, but there’s a catch: I have to compete with some guy named Jason Moon, a Pulitzer-winning photojournalist taller and more gorgeous than any man I've swiped right on.
Jason says he doesn’t want to the New Media Editor job, but a project that inspires him. And right now, he seems inspired to help me stop being an Epic Fail. We have to work together for six months either way. What’s the harm in becoming Jason Moon’s pet project?
I’M JASON MOON. Yes, that Jason Moon. It’s been years since I felt inspiration. My last muse destroyed my life when she left it, and I’ve been looking for a new model to relight the fire inside me. Instead, I have Lizette Clary, a party girl who comes to work hungover with a poop emoji purse. She's brilliant, but the New Media Editor needs more than brilliance. She needs control.
I'll help her learn to "adult," so to speak. Lizette's eager to improve, and by the time I'm done with her, she'll be a great editor. My plan is perfect except for one thing... I’m starting to feel inspired by a human meme. And it’s not just passion for art.
MY FAIR MILLENNIAL is Pygmalion with Snapchat puppy ears. A hilarious contemporary romance filled with slapstick, sexual tension, and enough 2014 pop culture to leave you swinging from the chandelier. First in a new series by really good-looking and hilarious author Elle Hume.
What happens when you're instantly drawn and inexplicably attracted to a man you haven't really met?
Me? Well, I left a party like my butt was on fire when it happened to me. Arrogant, wealthy and physically perfect men were nothing but trouble, even if I was mesmerized by a man with all of those attributes.
Unfortunately, we met again--in person this time-- when I literally collided with Carter Lawson in the flesh several days later, and discovered he was a man I just couldn't stay away from, no matter how much I tried. He felt the same attraction, and was determined to make it impossible for me not to see him.
My body craved him, and as I got to know the real man behind the jaded billionaire, womanizer facade, I was surprised to discover that I actually liked him.
He's the quintessential alpha male that I normally hate, but there's something I see in him that nobody else does, a pain I recognize in his glacier-like eyes--because I'm just like him. Both of us are frauds
I want to crack him like an egg, and see what's inside, but there's no way I want him to do the same thing to me.
On the surface, I'm a successful supermodel with a great career.
Inside, I'm someone else, a woman that nobody sees--until Carter slowly breaks through my defensive walls as well as he satisfies my body, starting to open wounds that have never really healed.
But there's only so much I can let Carter see. Revealing everything could ruin my entire life and the career I'd worked so hard to build.
So why was it so hard to lie to Carter like I'd been doing with everyone else my entire life?
The Enchanted Masked Ball, the biggest event of the year.
A magical night and anything could happen.
I could even meet Prince Charming.
Like I said, anything is possible.
When a tall and chiseled masked stranger approached me, I was mesmerized.
"Tonight, I want to be by your side".
We danced and he stole a kiss.
It should have been one of the best nights of my life.
Instead it was a tragic one.
I was forced to run from the ball. To leave him and everything behind.
Months later, I gave up hope of ever meeting Mr. Right again.
Til I walked into his castle. And he gave me an unforgettable night.
Prince Luca wants me to stay, but we're from completely different worlds.
How could we ever make this work?
With his heir on the way, I guess we're about to find out...
Leave the family fortune for love? Heh. Not a chance.
Besides, romance is a luxury a man like me can’t afford.
I come from wealth and lots of it.
And wealth comes with responsibility. Not freedom. People like to get that shit mixed up.
But I gotta get away for a while. A small coastal town in the Northeast is perfect, until it isn’t.
The pretty single mom I meet there is everything I want in my life, but she’s not going to be accepted by my family.
And she’s damaged goods. Her words. Not mine.
The bastard that knocked her up years ago left without a word, and this beautiful girl is scarred.
But I’m not him. Worse in some ways and better in others, I have no choice but to try.
Even though it will cost me everything I thought was important.
I’m over casual flings.
Time to become this lady’s main squeeze.

The world’s sexiest firefighter is about to get a second chance with the virgin next door…

Seriously…. Have you seen them? Anyone?
Maybe they’re hiding in his bedroom. With my heart.
Yeah, I know. I’m hosed.
So hosed.
