Dangerous Hero romance books
Everything about him whispers warning — and that's precisely what makes him impossible to resist.
The dangerous hero radiates threat. There's an edge to him, a capacity for violence or ruin held just barely in check, and the heroine can sense it like electricity in the air. He's not necessarily evil — but he's unsafe, and the fantasy is the primal thrill of being drawn to danger, of being the one exception to a man capable of real harm.
He's a fixture of dark romance, romantic suspense, and the edgier corners of paranormal, overlapping with the dark, morally gray, and bad-boy types. The romance trades on the electric tension between attraction and fear, and on the discovery that all that danger, turned toward the heroine, becomes fierce protection. The heat tends to run high.
For readers who love the forbidden thrill of danger and a hero who's safe only with her, the dangerous hero is irresistibly charged.
