Modern, real-world love stories set in the city — careers, chaos, and chemistry.

Contemporary romance is love in the real, modern world — careers, crowded cities, and chemistry between deadlines. Our contemporary novels run on the tropes that make modern love feel real: neighbors to lovers, the billionaire next desk, late-night meet-cutes, and the quiet relationships built in shared walls and coffee shops.
