Romantic Suspense

A great tale of love just isn't enough for you, is it you adrenaline junkie? 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).

Instead, I’m making her mine.


The job was simple.

Enhance the Senator’s security.
Neutralize all threats.
Protect his only daughter.

The Billionaire's Unexpected Wife #1

by Ali Parker


As soon as I saw her, I knew I had to have her.

I thought this Vegas fundraiser was going to be boring—another obligation to keep the family business alive.

Only problem is, I don’t believe in true love. And she doesn’t seem to, either.

I know a good deal when I see one.

This is book 1 of a trilogy. You will have to purchase book 2 and 3 to finish the story.

Caught Up In Love

by Weston Parker


I was chasing what I thought was a dream.

Having made a billion dollars by twenty-nine, I decided to retire.

Build a boat. Back where life started in my small town on the lake.

My days of one-night stands are hopefully behind me.

I’m ready to find the girl who has a big heart she’s willing to give away.

And I found her, but she’s tainted by her past.

Seems life has dealt her a few too many blows, and rich guys aren’t her thing.

They aren’t mine either. Ha! Looks like we have something in common.

But this girl… she’s the one. I can feel the truth of it coursing through my veins.

And if nothing else, the way she looks at me. She wants me. I’ve never been more sure of anything.

There may be a million fish in the sea, but I only see one option.

Her.

Every good girl deserves a bad boy. ~Weston

Taming the Bad Boy

by Jolie Moore

 

From up here on stage, I can see her. Even with her First Lady hair and Sunday school shoes, I can’t take my eyes off of her. 

The music starts. I swing my hips to the thumping bass. Oh, so slowly I slip one button through a hole, then another, then another. I ease the black silk from my shoulders and toss it right toward her. 

I watch her pale glossy lips form a big ‘O’ before she catches it like a major league baller. The flashing lights blind me. Between beats, I can see her blue eyes zeroed in below my waist.  

I know what she wants. I give it to her. With a zip and a tug, the leather pants join the rest of my clothes. In my skin tight briefs, I dance just for her. With the last chord of the song, the stage goes dark.  

I know when the lights come up again, another guy will be dancing in my place because this is my last time. I’m not doing this ever again. It’s too bad I didn’t get her name. I really liked that shirt. But not enough to go back and claim it.  

If she wants me bad enough, she’ll have to find me.
