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).
Some decisions are worth the consequences…
Fallen Angel, Bree, is far from perfect. Most recently, she stole from work and revealed her wings to her dying sister. On top of this, when a Highest Order Angel comes to remove her wings for her crimes, she accidentally stabs him during her attempted escape. Any hope she had of forgiveness is far out of her reach.
Highest Order Angel, Jaxon, has a perfect record, and he’s proud of it. He loves his job upholding justice, but when a fallen angel with beautiful eyes distracts him, causing his first slip-up in over fifty years, he won’t go home until he finishes what he started. What’s even worse, the fallen angel he was sent to punish is also the compassionate one who risks everything to save his life.

Roses are Red,
Audits are eww,
My mom’s on my nerves,
And this hot guy is too!

Between him laying down the law in the office and my mom nipping at my life choices, I am going insane!
It’s time to put myself first—for once.
No more loving me last.
It’s my turn. His turn.
For a red-hot love affair.
Every good girl deserves a bad boy. ~ Weston
From the award-winning, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Fangirl, Carry On, and Landline comes a hilarious and heartfelt novel about an office romance that blossoms one email at a time...
Beth Fremont and Jennifer Scribner-Snyder know that somebody is monitoring their work e-mail. (Everybody in the newsroom knows. It's company policy.) But they can't quite bring themselves to take it seriously. They go on sending each other endless and endlessly hilarious e-mails, discussing every aspect of their personal lives.
Meanwhile, Lincoln O'Neill can't believe this is his job now—reading other people's e-mail. When he applied to be “internet security officer,” he pictured himself building firewalls and crushing hackers—not writing up a report every time a sports reporter forwards a dirty joke.
When Lincoln comes across Beth's and Jennifer's messages, he knows he should turn them in. He can't help being entertained, and captivated, by their stories. But by the time Lincoln realizes he's falling for Beth, it's way too late to introduce himself. What would he even say...?
I needed a break from my billion-dollar company.
A small beach town called me on a much-needed vacation.
And I never expected to see her there.
Years had passed, and yet I thought about her all the time.
She was my girl and still should be.
Strategy isn’t just for the office.
I’m going to win her heart.
I came for myself, but I’m not leaving without her.
Accidentally saved by the single dad
You know those towns with the dirty names like Spread Eagle or Horneytown? Well, I have a dirty mind and decided to spend my college break visiting them on an epic road trip.
Until my entrance to a sleepy town starts with a bang as my car crashes straight into the Welcome to Rough and Ready sign.
Local mechanic Carter turns up to save me. He’s as rough as the town’s name and immediately has me feeling ready. He’s eye candy from head to toe but his arms stand out the most. Firm biceps, taught forearms and I have an overwhelming urge to run into them.
It’ll take days to fix the car and there’s no motel in town. Luckily he lets me stay in the trailer parked outside his house. I couldn’t be farther from my life at college.
When his six-year-old son’s around a softer side of Carter shows and I struggle to keep my cool with all the heat he creates inside me. Before long it’s obvious the feeling is mutual.
But there’s danger all around him. Danger I have to avoid from a secret I’m determined to learn. And more accidents waiting to happen.
***no cliffhangers, no cheating, and a guaranteed happily-ever-after***
The forecast calls for Grey Skyes... with a chance of trouble...
When her client's diamonds go missing, Bernice Lucia must leave her corporate office in Chicago and travel to the tropical paradise of Isla Peligrosa to investigate a casino that is not afraid to load the dice. She's in treacherous water with smuggling rings, liars, and deceit, but the roguish Grey Skyes may be just the diamond thief she's been looking for.
Fans of ROMANCING THE STONE and OCEAN'S ELEVEN will love SKYE'S THE LIMIT, book one in the frothy rom-sus series GREY SKYES ADVENTURES.
My life is my job. It’s all I need.
Or so I thought.
Everyone around me assumes I’m arrogant and cold-hearted, but it’s a persona.
One that keeps me safe in LA.
I might be at the top, but looking around, it’s lonely as hell.
Not that I’d ever utter those words out loud. Not a chance.
And women come and go like the wind.
None of them are looking for real love.
Until her. A new PR agent that I wasn’t expecting to like at all.
But she shakes me to the core of my being, wakes me up, and forces me to feel things I thought were long gone.
I only have one rule–never get involved with anyone in the business.
Now I just need to convince her of that.

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Nightingale and The Great Alone comes an incandescent story about the resilience of the human spirit, the triumph of hope, and the meaning of home.
In the rugged Pacific Northwest lies the Olympic National Forest—nearly a million acres of impenetrable darkness and impossible beauty. From deep within this old growth forest, a six-year-old girl appears. Speechless and alone, she offers no clue as to her identity, no hint of her past.
Having retreated to her western Washington hometown after a scandal left her career in ruins, child psychiatrist Dr. Julia Cates is determined to free the extraordinary little girl she calls Alice from a prison of unimaginable fear and isolation. To reach her, Julia must discover the truth about Alice’s past—although doing so requires help from Julia’s estranged sister, a local police officer. The shocking facts of Alice’s life test the limits of Julia’s faith and strength, even as she struggles to make a home for Alice—and for herself.

I just needed a fresh start.
A new place to raise my little one as I worked to pull my life back together.
It’s never been an easy life, raising my kiddo alone, but I find strength in the little things.
The kind woman that I work for has been like a second mother.
And I had no clue how hot her marine son was until he comes home for a visit.
The guy is 100% alpha male. Everything I find attractive and usually fall hard for.
He’s got a decision to make. Leave the service or reenlist? Time is ticking down.
But the longer he stays, the more I want him to stay.
Where love didn’t seem like a possibility before, I feel like I’ve found a reason to breathe.
Him.
My life couldn’t get any more ridiculous.
A few days ago, my son’s teacher wanted to berate me on my parenting style.
I politely told her to f*ck off, in so many words.
And now? She’s sitting across the table from me at my first blind date in years.
You can’t make this shit up.
Nothing has been easy since my wife left me and Hunter years ago. And yet, we persevered.
He’s my whole world, and the last thing I have time for is a woman.
But this beautiful teacher disagrees. She wants to help me find the right girl for me and my boy. My best friend agrees. It’s time.
To shut everyone up, I go along with it. How bad can this get?
Don’t ask.
The right woman has been under my nose the whole time. And without realizing it, I’ve fallen deeply in love with her.
I can only hope she’ll stop her silly search and accept my offer.
Be mine.
Forever.
A man's quest to find answers for those who are haunted by the past leads him deeper into the shadows in this electrifying New York Times bestseller from the author of Promise Not to Tell.
Quinton Zane is back.
Jack Lancaster, consultant to the FBI, has always been drawn to the coldest of cold cases, the kind that law enforcement either considers unsolvable or else has chalked up to accidents or suicides. As a survivor of a fire, he finds himself uniquely compelled by arson cases. His almost preternatural ability to get inside the killer's head has garnered him a reputation in some circles--and complicated his personal life. The more cases Jack solves, the closer he slips into the darkness. His only solace is Winter Meadows, a meditation therapist. After particularly grisly cases, Winter can lead Jack back to peace.
But as long as Quinton Zane is alive, Jack will not be at peace for long. Having solidified his position as the power behind the throne of his biological family's hedge fund, Zane sets out to get rid of Anson Salinas's foster sons, starting with Jack.

During a routine assignment, Trista stumbles across a cryptic exchange. She doesn’t think much of it...until someone tries to murder her—twice. Both times, Matt had been there to save her. But now she has to hide. And her new bodyguard, Matt, and his K-9 are the only hope she has against the powerful forces that want her dead.
To protect her, he must remain a ghost…
Jack McCann has been in love with Shelly since they were teens. They married just out of college and right before he went to work as an undercover agent for the FBI. When he can, he slips away from his assignments to see her.
Jack has been undercover on his latest case for months, investigating a weapons-smuggling business. But just as the FBI is set to make the bust, Jack’s cover is blown. The last thing he feels as he crashes through a warehouse window and into the open water is a bullet piercing his back. The last thing he hears is Adam Wu promising to destroy everyone Jack loves.
Shelley’s worst nightmares come true when the FBI arrive at her doorstep to bring her the news. But she doesn’t know the truth: Jack survived the shooting and will do anything to keep his beloved wife safe—even if it means hiding in shadows…

Meg Sanders enjoyed her wild night with a prince and his bodyguard—but now she’s moving on. She has enough problems without borrowing the kind of trouble Theo brings just by being who he is. But no matter how determined she is to leave that night a fond memory, she hasn’t seen the last of Theo and Galen…
Galen Mikos's life boils down to one goal. Keep Theo alive. But as long as Theo draws breath, he’s a threat to the powers that have taken over Thalania—and anyone they associate with runs the risk of becoming a target, too. Galen will never forgive himself if they let their selfish desire for Meg puts her in danger. But it might already be too late…
Theo Fitzcharles might be an exiled prince, but he doesn’t intend to stay that way. He’s only concerned with one thing—clearing his mother’s name and reinstating himself as Crown Prince of Thalania. There’s no room in that plan for distraction, especially when it makes him forget himself the way Meg does. But after spending one perfect night with her and his best friend, Theo has no intention of leaving her alone.
Even if it damns all three of them in the process.
