For a tech-age twist, 'The Other Woman' by Sandie Jones has that slow-burn element, but it's a psychological suspense where the 'other woman' is the boyfriend's seemingly perfect mother. The romantic relationship is central, but it's poisoned by the mystery of the mother's motives. The 'burn' is the protagonist slowly realizing the depth of the manipulation.
It’s less about will-they-won't-they and more about can-this-relationship-even-survive this external, sinister force. The suspense comes from the emotional gaslighting, making every romantic moment fraught with doubt. It’s a different kind of tension that really gets under your skin.

Sometimes the setting does half the work. 'The Sanatorium' by Sarah Pearse has a glacial, isolated hotel setting that forces people together. The romantic subplot between the detective and her boyfriend is strained by the pressure of the case and her own past, which adds a layer of personal suspense.
It's less about building a new romance and more about whether an existing one can survive the corrosive effects of a murder investigation and personal trauma. The 'slow-burn' here is the slow re-ignition or slow dissolution of a relationship under extreme stress, which is a different but equally compelling dynamic blended with a creepy, locked-room mystery.

I find that books where the protagonist has a specialized skill often blend well. 'The Codebreaker's Secret' by Sara Ackerman is historical fiction about a codebreaker and a pilot in WWII Hawaii. The mystery involves a disappearance, and the slow-burn romance develops through shared dedication and wartime stress.
The technical details of codebreaking and the historical context provide a gripping backdrop, and the romance feels like a natural outgrowth of two competent people working toward a common goal under immense pressure. The 'slow-burn' is in the stolen moments and unspoken understanding amidst the chaos of war and investigation.

Okay, controversial take: a lot of 'romantic suspense' marketed today just slaps a dead body in chapter one onto a standard romance plot. For a true blend, try Simone St. James's 'The Sun Down Motel'. The romance is absolutely a subplot, but the bond between the two timelines' protagonists—Viv in 1982 and her niece Carly in 2017—and their respective connections to a skeptic and a cop are slow, genuine, and born from shared obsession with the same cold case.
The romantic elements simmer in the background of a genuinely creepy, addictive mystery about a haunted motel. You get the payoff of partnership and deep understanding, which feels more substantial than just a heated kiss after the killer is caught.

Five years ago, Sera Blackwood walked away from the only man she ever loved—and the pack that wanted her dead.
Now she's back in Crimson Hollow, and Dante Silverclaw, the alpha who let her go, isn't the same broken wolf she left behind. He's harder. Colder. And he has exactly thirty days to find a mate before the pack council forces him to marry someone else.
Someone who isn't his true mate.
When a series of brutal murders rocks the supernatural community, Sera finds herself working alongside the man who still owns her heart. But the killer isn't just targeting random victims—they're hunting wolves who know the truth about why Sera really ran.
As the blood moon rises, Sera must choose between protecting the secret that could destroy Dante's pack or claiming the second chance at love that might cost them both their lives.

Don't forget the role of setting. A misty Scottish moor, a decaying Venetian palazzo, a remote research station in Antarctica—these places are characters that slow things down. The environment becomes a clue and a catalyst for intimacy. Books like 'The Sanatorium' use the isolated, imposing setting to force characters together and slow the pace, letting both the mystery and the relationship breathe.

For a recent release, 'The Maid' by Nita Prose has a subtle, beautiful slow-burn of a different kind. Molly the maid is neurodivergent and finds a guest dead. The mystery is about clearing her name, but the real story is her journey to understanding friendship and trust.
A potential romantic interest appears, but it's handled with a light, respectful touch. The 'burn' is Molly's gradual awakening to the possibility of being seen and loved for who she is. It's heartwarming and the mystery is cleverly plotted.

I'm a huge fan of the paranormal take on this. Kresley Cole's Immortals After Dark series is built on this. Each book pairs a couple with fated mate bonds, but the journey to accepting that bond is always a slow-burn battle of wills, leading to intensely passionate scenes. 'A Hunger Like No Other' is the wild start.
Nalini Singh's Psy-Changeling series, especially the early books like 'Slave to Sensation', has a brilliant slow burn. A Psy (emotionless) heroine and a sensual Changeling hero. Her journey to feeling emotion for the first time is the ultimate slow burn, and their physical connection is the catalyst.
'Hot Blooded' by Heather Guerre is a vampire romance where a woman signs up to be a blood donor for financial reasons. The gradual build of trust and care between her and the ancient, lonely vampire is beautiful and then very, very hot.
