The Modern Shorts Contemporary Romance series features five short stories, tales exploring the possibilities of love in this modern age.
Modern Shorts Contemporary Romance is not a series in the traditional sense. Rather, these five romance and erotica shorts are connected by the time in which they are set — the 21st century. (I’m usually a historical romance writer!) Each story features a heterosexual pairing and each can be read as a stand-alone.
The stories are:
An Academic Pursuit
Romance author Jean is propositioned by a virgin college student eager for her sensual expertise. Jean’s tempted, but what will her husband say? (“An Academic Pursuit” was originally published with the title “An Age Play”.)
Object
A dinner date with his girlfriend becomes something more than Nigel bargained for. A 1200-word flash fiction BDSM erotica short.
Silent Sky
A moody romance set in California on September 11, 2001. The possibility of loss spurs a woman to reminisce about her once-perfect marriage.
Window Display
In this tale of unexpected voyeurism and romance set in Zurich, Switzerland, an American scholar trying to finish her dissertation finds her room has a very distracting view.
Orcas
An erotica short set on Orcas Island, which is also one of my Stories from the San Juan Islands. A lawyer on vacation finds stress relief in a hot tub and fantasies of a honed cyclist.
Modern Shorts: A Contemporary Romance Collection
All five stories are also available together in one book.
