Romance fiction spans every genre, from fantasy to suspense. The only thing that makes romance different? It features a very special couple as they fall in love.

Here at StoryBundle, we can't cover every romance sub-genre, because we'd be covering all of fiction, so we did the next best thing. We decided to provide a Touch of Romance Mini Bundle.

We call this bundle "mini" for two reasons only: first, the price (you can spend as little as $2 and get a lot of reading!) and second, the mini features novellas, not novels—stories short enough to give you a taste of the genre and its spectacular writers.

The writers are the ones that supersize this bundle. International bestselling writer and award-winning editor Kristine Kathryn Rusch, our curator, has chosen the best romance writers in the business to provide "A Touch of Romance."

The four novellas that comprise the main bundle run the gamut from romantic suspense courtesy of hot new star M.L. Buchman to a sweet Regency by New York Times bestseller Mary Jo Putney. Award-winners Laura Leone and Kristine Grayson add bits of magic and humor to their romances. That cross-genre feel makes sense when you realize that Leone and Grayson also write as Laura Resnick and Kristine Kathryn Rusch.

But if you spend a minimum of $6, you get three more novellas—the sequel to M.L. Buchman's first novella, a futuristic romance (that's science fiction to some of you) by New York Times bestselling writer Jo Beverley, and a spicy winter classic from #1 New York Times bestseller Stephanie Laurens.

Lots of reading for a mini-mal amount of money. What more could you ask for?

Well, you could probably ask for the right format. Storybundle provides easy reading on computers, mobile devices and Kindles via file transfer, email, or other methods, with multiple DRM-free formats (.epub and .mobi) available for each book.

The limitation? You must purchase the bundle between October 1 and October 10. After that, it goes away forever.

But if you want to get your holiday shopping out of the way now, or buy a special gift for your favorite romance reader's birthday in 2014, you can do that now, thanks to our gift cards—which allow you to send someone a code that they can redeem for any future StoryBundle bundle—and timed delivery, which allows you to control exactly when your recipient will get the gift of StoryBundle.

To recap, the initial titles in The Touch of Romance Mini bundle are:

• Up On the Rooftop by Kristine Grayson
• Galatea by Laura Leone
• The Christmas Cuckoo by Mary Jo Putney
• Daniel's Christmas by M. L. Buchman

If you pay more than the bonus price of just $6, you'll get another three novellas:

• The Trouble with Heroes by Jo Beverley
• Melting Ice by Stephanie Laurens
• Frank's Independence Day by M. L. Buchman
