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).
Rafe Buchanan – 6’3’’. Hard muscle. Marine MP. My brother’s best friend. And the guy who took my innocence five years ago!
Also the guy who gave me the most precious gift ever – my daughter (well, our daughter I should be saying).
Did I tell you he kinda left me, asking me to move on?
So, that’s what I did.
I moved on to study further, to raise my child and to work with the Marines.
Everything is going great until…
Rafe shows up at my clinic.
He’s seeking a cure for PTSD, and I’m his counselor.
It’s totally f*ck*d up, right?
Once again, our attraction is instant, the chemistry undeniable and don’t even get me started how good he is in bed.
I want him so bad, but can’t let him know about our daughter.
There’s no way our relationship could work.
They say war is hell, but isn’t love a torture!
Danger is my comfort zone.
But it’s not hers.
Somebody wants her dead.
Mysterious packages threaten her life, and I have to fight to stay focused.
Her curves are a distraction, and she trusts me to get the bad guy.
She needs me to fight for her.
That’s my cue.
My vow to keep her safe is as strong as my will to make her mine.
And to put the threat in the ground.
Lucky for her, I always win.
Whatever it costs me.

Especially now that she’s pregnant.
I’ll do whatever it takes to claim my family.

Hazel Rivera was an untouchable small-town princess… but that summer five years ago, she was mine.
All it took was a few hours of hell to destroy the heaven we built. I left Shippensburg with nothing but the shirt on my back and my dog at my side. Leave or die, and ruin the lives of everybody I cared about at the same time. There was no choice.

I’ll get my answers, make her remember how she used to run her tongue over my abs and dig her nails into my back, then I’ll leave this damn town forever.
Violet Marcus’s life is settled. She has it all: a place of her own, a business where her temper has its uses, and great people who work for her.
But something is missing. The problem is, her stubbornness refuses to admit how lonely she actually is.
She lost the one man she thought she could marry, a university love, but when their careers drive them in different directions they went their separate ways.
Now he’s back.
He’s also changed.
Unsure if she wants to hug him or throat punch him, she keeps her distance. Or tries to.
Travis Stewart moves to Ballarat for one reason—to have Violet back in his life. His love has never diminished. Not through the years, the distance, or even in the underworld he finds himself a part of.
He will always love her.
Now he just has to convince Violet that his heart is hers, and his soul isn’t as black as it seems.
His mission is simple: get Violet to understand they have a future together before getting kneed in the balls. Easy, especially as he refuses to be outplayed.
I’m a risk taker. Always. Every day.
My patients deserve my boldness and more.

She’s off limits.
I can’t stay away from her, even after I find out she’s a resident at my hospital.

Being caught would destroy us both.
Oh well. Rules be damned.

Mistake number one: Getting drunk in Vegas.
Mistake number two: Waking up in HIS bed with a HUGE rock on my finger (and our clothes missing).
Mistake number three: He is my best friend’s brother!
Nooo….get it together girl. You did not do this.
You did not just get married to your best friend’s brother!
Okay cool down babes…mistakes happen but everything can be fixed, right?
This marriage needs to be annulled.
Wait…why does the pregnancy test show those lines?
Another mistake probably?
Oops…Did I just get pregnant with his baby?
Now what!
It's not every day you wake up to a stranger getting into your bed.
Only, he isn't a stranger at all, he's my best friend's hot older brother…and apparently my new roommate.
Having him in my space, driving me crazy, isn't a problem at all. Nope.
All I need to do is keep control of the situation…
But that's easier said than done.
Shawn Lassiter is the kind of distraction I don't need.
First he accidentally gets into my bed, half-naked, the night before my first day at my new job.
Hello, muscles and tattoos!
Then he's there, in nothing but a towel, making me coffee in the morning.
It's more than any girl can resist. Right?
But Shawn is off-limits, even if his eyes are saying differently.
Years ago, back when I still had my crush, he destroyed friendships with his reckless playboy antics.
There's no way I'm touching those perfectly formed abs now. I don't care how nice and responsible he's acting.
I don't want a boyfriend anyway. That's what my trusty vibrator is for.
I'm the smart girl—the glasses-wearing, book-reading workaholic. I can totally do this.
After all, it's only for two and a half months.
I'll be on my best behavior...even if Shawn isn't.
Love is not a luxury a man like me can afford.
I save lives for a living, and there’s no room for distractions.
Until she is assigned to be my resident.
The girl is everything I want and exactly what I can’t have.
The hospital won’t allow it, and she’s far too young for me.
But I need her more than I need my next breath. And luckily enough, she feels the same.
In exchange for paying off some of her medical debts, she makes me an offer I can’t refuse:
Herself.
It could cost me my career. Hers too.
I don’t care.
I get what I want, and she’s no exception.
We just have to keep our love affair between the sheets.
Every good girl deserves a bad boy. ~Weston

My wolf wants to claim her. But she’s human, and her delicate flesh won't survive a wolf's mark.
I'm too dangerous. I should stay away. But when I discover she's the hacker who nearly took down my company, I demand she submit to my punishment. And she will.
Kylie belongs to me.
