What is dark romance?
Dark romance turns up the intensity and lets the love interest be the villain. Morally gray antiheroes, high-stakes obsession, complicated power dynamics, and redemption that has to be earned the hard way. If you came for enemies to lovers pushed to the edge, mafia and underworld romance, forced proximity, or a hero you probably shouldn't be rooting for, you're among your people. Check the content warnings before you start, this corner of the genre takes them seriously.
