Good morning

Can you recommend an contemporary romance that doesn't take 20 chapters to get to IT?

Thank you

Hi! I do have a list of contemporary romances where there's a sex scene pretty early on:

Here are a few more:

Black Tie Billionaire by Naima Simone: You know it's a Harlequin when it starts with the billionaire propositioning a member of the catering staff (or so he thinks). There ends up being a blackout and she does take him up on that offer. It's such a stellar early sex scene because their chemistry is off the charts.

Heated Rivalry by Rachel Reid: Shane and Ilya are pro-hockey rivals who *totally* hate each other and yet have secretly been hooking up for about a decade, and the book begins with one such hook-up.

Inside Bet by Katie Porter: They have sex the first night they meet (so within the first five chapters I believe) but there's this super hot, almost tense build-up as Jon and Heather gamble and make increasingly more risqué bets with one another.

The Secret That Can't Be Hidden by Caitlin Crews: There's a flashback of their first meeting where the hero sees her, beckons her forward, and goes to town on her just like that. Pure Harlequin (specifically pure Caitlin Crews) excellence.

Just One More Night by Caitlin Crews: The hero comes across her in an alleyway where she's being held at gunpoint, he kills(?) the assailants, and they immediately have sex in his car (in the immortal words of Stephan after they went bareback, "eh, you American girls are always on the pill").
