Contemporary romance

Contemporary romance is love in the real world: no fangs, no magic, just two people, a complicated situation and the moment it all clicks.

There are cosy small-town romances with bookstores, bakeries and second chances; rom-coms full of fake engagements and road trips gone wrong; tender love stories set in Florence, Tokyo and seaside towns; dark academia and secret societies; and forbidden romances that test faith and loyalty. You will also find why-choose stories with secret inheritances and rockstars. The heat runs from sweet and swoony to very steamy, so let the subtitle guide you.
