202 books
Dark romance
Dark romance goes where other love stories will not: obsession, captivity, revenge, forbidden vows and heroes who are not good men, until they are good for her. This shelf collects 202 of Alisson Bento’s darkest stories, across mafia empires, gothic manors, cursed courts, secret societies and clinics where the doctor is the most dangerous man in the building. Expect possessive heroes who cross every line, captor-to-lover arcs, debts paid in flesh and freedom, arranged marriages with no way out, and stalkers who turn into protectors. These books contain mature themes and intense scenes; the subtitles are honest about what you will find, and every story still ends in love. If you crave gothic atmosphere, start with Gothic Tales. If you want forbidden faith and sin, open Unholy Vows. For Bratva darkness at its purest, there is The Laws of the Bratva. Read the content notes in each book and choose your poison.
