Book excerpt: 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 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. An Academic Pursuit During a research trip to England, Regency romance author Jean is propositioned by a young man. But what will Jean’s husband say? Object A dinner date with his girlfriend in San Francisco becomes something more than Nigel bargained for. Orcas A lawyer vacationing on Orcas Island finds stress relief in a hot tub and fantasies of a honed cyclist. 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.
