Romance Books

Love can fill your sails or dash your ship against the rocks, depending on which way the wind is blowing. That's why there are so many Romance Books dedicated to depicting the helium-filled highs and subterranean lows brought about by true passion. Sometimes the story is a sinfully sexy one, like E L James's notorious Fifty Shades trilogy, and sometimes it's an epic fantasy, like you'll find in Diana Gabaldon's Outlander series. But whatever kind of love story gets your kindling glowing in the fireplace, you'll find it among our ample offerings of Romance Books.
