Dark romance is a subgenre of romance fiction characterized by the depiction of intimate relationships involving morally ambiguous dynamics, power imbalances, and transgressive or taboo elements. Unlike traditional romance, the genre centers relationships in which behaviors such as control, coercion, or violence may be integrated into the romantic dynamic itself. It commonly features explicit sexual content, often intertwined with themes of dominance, submission, and consent.
