Contemporary Romance : top book in the genre

All my conscious life, I wanted to break free from control—to speak up at least sometimes. To have a choice… my own choice. Not to listen to other people’s advice. To live my own life, make decisions, study, build friendships, dream, love… I longed for independence so deeply that I failed to notice when those desires turned against me. Sadly, I was the one who took a step whose consequences I can now only guess at.

When the trembling sensations of first love are seasoned with doubt, fragile trust dissolves. When awkwardness plays into the hands of others, and unshakable confidence shatters under convincing lies, all you want to do is scream. From pain, injustice, despair—and a love that not even time was able to destroy. Yet it takes only a single step to feel that absolute moment of happiness again. Will they dare?

I fade on the threshold of the living room, my feet grew to the floor. The glass from the broken vase was scattered on the parquet, small fragments sparkle in the light of the morning sun - so contrasting, so wrong. The power has lowered shoulders. Hands shake. He stands, staring at the place on the wall where a second ago was a vase, and breathes hard, torn as after running. I take a step forward, unconsciously. He hears me and suddenly rotates. Our views meet, and I understand: now he is fighting with himself. And I am very sorry. - I want you to hear nothing well, - says cold. - But ... - Miro, this is not a request - his look cuts me into pieces. I remember what Vlad was yesterday. As he kissed me. As he smiled. Now a completely different person in front of me. Broken, wounded and slig

"I don't know what my father told you, but I'm doing just fine without a personal chef. I glance over at the pizza boxes in the corner of the room. “Yeah, I see that.” “That's none of your business,” he says, angry. I need a job, and you obviously need to eat healthy." - Healthy? I'm on a healthy diet, thank you. - Oh, really?" I point to the bottle of cola next to the couch. He rolls his eyes, walks past me into the kitchen and opens the fridge. - See? I have food! I peek inside. A pack of protein bars, some yogurt, sauces, a can of beer. I look at him, then back at the fridge. “Are you kidding?” I snort. He grabs one of the bars and opens it, taking a bite. “That's a full meal,” he says with a full mouth.

When life tripped you up at every turn, you want to be a completely different person for one night. To forget about all the problems and become an ordinary girl. That's when a friend comes along with an incredible offer to visit the most expensive club in town. The main thing is to change beyond recognition and open up to new sensations. But I didn't expect that this evening would turn my already fun life upside down. After all, I should stay as far away from this stranger as possible, but my body thinks quite differently. I'll think about the consequences tomorrow!

“Why are you looking at me like that?” she asks and takes a step back. “Because you're my last hope,” I say calmly, even too calmly. “Excuse me?” Her voice becomes sharp. “We have to convince the whole world that I've been in a serious relationship for a long time.” “And you want me to...” “Yes,” I interrupt her, “play my girlfriend.” She blinks, as if she can't believe what she's heard. Arsen puts his hand to his face, as if he wants to wake up from this madness. And only I, inspired by my own idea, smile like an idiot. “You're crazy,” Olesya whispers. “I'm not going to play your girlfriend.” “It's a stupid plan,” adds Arsen. “Olesya can't stand you, and here you have to play love.” “Maybe,” I reply and look at the confused girl with interest. “But I know you well. You won't leave me

You Are From My Dreams Adele seems quiet and gentle at first glance… but a storm lives inside her. It is this storm that keeps pulling her into trouble, conflict, and chaos. The world is merciless to women like her — tender yet stubborn, sensitive yet sharp-tongued. Everything changes after one meeting. Adam is young, dangerous, devastatingly handsome. The son of a powerful father, a man feared by many and admired by all. There has been no warmth in his life for a long time… until the day he sees Adele. She awakens in him the one thing he feared the most — the desire to protect, to care, to possess. But their story is not about romance. It is a battle — for trust, for survival, for a love that burns hotter than fire. Camille was meant to be a friend, a support — but became a threat. His fe

Oles: On Valentine's Day, our provincial town was shaken by some scary news. Two influential men were found dead in their own homes. A wealthy businessman who helps orphans and runs a shelter for homeless animals, and the owner of semi-legal entertainment establishments closely linked to the criminal world — what could they possibly have in common? Except that both were poisoned by an unknown person, who left a piece of paper next to the bodies with the words “See you in hell”... Ilona: My boss asked me to write about the mysterious murders that took place in my hometown. I understand that this assignment is just an excuse to get rid of me because I've grown tired of the man I've been dating for several years. However, after moving, I met someone I once considered my enemy, and now I have

Where do memories come from? Maybe they’re fragments of interesting dreams, or events that once happened to us? It’s a strange feeling — not remembering. Feeling like a spy in someone else’s life. But that’s not as scary as finding a dress in your wardrobe. A white one. No, people, we never agreed on this! This isn’t my life. And definitely not my wedding.

A fake wedding, countless lies, and a baby—just enough to bind their lives forever. Lucas is the cold-hearted boss the mafia needed, but doubts about his wife's fidelity torment his mind. He believes the baby girl—who looks exactly like Alexa—isn't his. What he doesn’t know is that his fake wife, whom he was with only once, has remained faithful to him, unlike himself. Everyone has made mistakes, and soon, all the lies will come to light—and there will be consequences. Can Lucas and Alexa overcome their differences and survive the chaos that’s coming, especially as each day seems to pull them further apart? Can little Sophia be the one to bring them back together? There are loves that bind—and maybe Sophia is the love they both need.

His life changes suddenly when the woman he slept with a month ago shows up at his office claiming she’s pregnant. The last thing he wants is a child—he hates commitment and doesn’t believe in love. But the worst part isn’t that she refuses to have an abortion... it’s that they’re being forced to marry. Her father insists on it and won’t take no for an answer—or he’ll take everything from him, including his job. Now they hate each other, even if their hearts whisper otherwise. As part of their wedding vows, he makes a cruel promise to the woman he now blames for ruining his life: he vows to hate her forever and make her life a living hell while they’re together. But neither of them knows that the heart has whims that must be obeyed.

The woman with whom he had a passionate affair shows up at his father's company, claiming an inheritance—and declaring herself his widow. Owen can’t believe his eyes, but he’s even more shocked when two identical twins appear before him… twins he can't tell apart, and who look exactly like him. She turns his world upside down. She’s taken everything from him and his brothers, and now they all hate her. A story full of secrets, lies… and love—where two mischievous little boys add a comedic twist to the chaos. But what will Owen do when he discovers that the kids who’ve declared war on him… are actually his sons?

After her father’s mysterious death, Inga discovers a letter in which Nik Polozov — a charismatic businessman with a dark past — is accused. Consumed by pain and rage, she decides to take revenge: earn his trust, destroy his empire, and only then deliver the final blow. The plan works perfectly — the girl gets a job at Nik’s company. But everything changes when something sparks between them. Inga no longer knows who she’s looking at — her enemy or the man she’s falling in love with. And what if he’s hiding the truth too? A story about love born from betrayal… one that might become salvation — or destruction.

What happened made her close the door for a few minutes and exhale loudly. The girl's pupils dilated, her palms became clammy, and although her legs were shaking a little, she had to pull herself together, calm down, and muster the courage to go back. Rada took a deep breath, pulled the handle, and entered, her heels clicking on the floor. Once again, four pairs of eyes stared at her intently, filled with anger and malice. Matvey tapped his foot, Sasha nervously bit his lip, Asya tugged at the hem of her skirt, and Roma frowned, giving Rada a heavy look. The girl closed the door behind her and headed into this gathering, which did not promise anything good for her. Because all her exes were there.

When you let a stranger into your home, be prepared for your life to turn into hell. Even if he seems so nice at first... And there will be no turning back, especially when you find out that your stalker is no longer alive...

To pay for my sister's education, I have to get a job as a caregiver. My patient turns out to be a young and handsome former athlete. True, he has a terrible temper... But I love difficult challenges! "If you hired me as an escort dressed as a nurse, take her away immediately and fulfill your strange fantasies yourself. "I have a diploma... "Oh, as if I don't know that Tadey can buy any diploma. With legs and hair like that, you can't work in hospitals. And nurses only play to order for VIP clients... — I really did work in a hospital. But I was fired because I didn't reciprocate the chief doctor's advances. I was dismissed “by mutual agreement”... — And that's why you decided to go work for a rich disabled man, — Yarema snorted...

I will have to marry this cruel and selfish man, even though I love someone else. My sister was supposed to marry him, but my parents decided to sacrifice me. “My parents have gone completely mad... That Gordey, he's a sadist, four brides have run away from him...” said my sister. “What do you mean?” “I heard he has a special room,” she blushed. “Like in those movies... And that he does whatever he wants with those girls there. And then they break off the engagement.” “But brides always move in with their husbands after the wedding.” We're not even engaged yet, why should I move? “Exactly... Usually after. But this one... This one uses them and throws them away,” she looked away. “And they all hope...”

In bed with the enemy - that's her. Anna found herself in a “golden cage” when she married an attractive diplomat who turned out to be a sadist. Together with her husband, who is appointed ambassador, she moves from Greece to Ukraine. But one day she disappears, and her relatives are very worried. Is their daughter alive? What happened to her? This is what a detective of Ukrainian origin, Julian Khmelnytsky, nicknamed Khmil, has to figure out...

I woke up in bed with my ex, and a few weeks later I found out I was pregnant. But wedding rings are not in our future, just like ten years ago... “I have bad news,” I said as soon as Mir sat down on the bench next to me. “What news?” He frowned, then looked at me with alarm: “Do you have HIV or some other nasty disease? Did you get infected in your lab and then infect me?” Even here, this damn egoist was thinking only of himself. For a moment, I wanted to scare Mir, to say that I had indeed infected him with some rare incurable disease, but then I pulled myself together and said: “Don't panic. I'm just pregnant.” Well, I'll figure it out, I don't need money, don't worry. I just thought it would be right for you to know..."

Sofia thought she had found the perfect man. Gian: handsome, powerful, addictive. Six months of wild passion had her dreaming of a “happily ever after.” But instead of a ring, she got a goodbye that shattered her and crushed her pride. Now, Sofia has risen from the ashes. She’s no longer the shy, modest girl Gian discarded. She’s pure fire—dangerous curves and an attitude that screams: *“Look, but don’t touch.”* Every move she makes is a provocation; every glance, a challenge. Gian is torn between contempt and desire. He says he doesn’t want her anymore, but his eyes devour her, and his fists clench every time another man gets too close. He tries to stay away, but the magnetism between them is undeniable—electric, almost painful.
