Modern Shorts: A Contemporary Romance Collection

Modern Shorts: A Contemporary Romance Collection features all five of Regina Kammer's contemporary romance short stories, tales exploring the possibilities of love in this modern age. The possibility... Of loss. Of a proposition. Of a dinner date. Of a fantasy. Of the hottie next door..The possibility of romance in our chaotic modern world. Modern Shorts: A Contemporary Romance Collection is comprised of five steamy short stories, each with a contemporary setting and heterosexual liaison.
Themes include exploring fantasies, taking risks, deepening relationships. Tropes include second chance romance, vacation romance, older woman-younger man, romantic comedy, and, of course, happy endings. Each story is written in first person from the point-of-view of a woman in her prime (that is, thirty-five years or older), except "Object" which is written in third person from a male point-of-view. The collection includes the following previously published short stories: Silent SkyA moody romance set in California on September 11, 2001.
The possibility of loss spurs a woman to reminisce about her once-perfect marriage. An Academic PursuitDuring a research trip to England, Regency romance author Jean is propositioned by a younger man. But what will Jean's husband say? ObjectA dinner date with his girlfriend in San Francisco becomes something more than Nigel bargained for. OrcasA lawyer vacationing on Orcas Island finds stress relief in a hot tub and fantasies of a honed cyclist. Window DisplayIn 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.
