Romance books tagged: Cheating/Infidelity

Unfaithfulness features within a relationship.

This tag indicates that cheating or infidelity appears in the story — whether in a current relationship, a past one, or as a source of conflict and consequence. It is one of the more polarizing themes in romance, and the tag is applied so that readers who prefer to avoid it can make an informed choice.

Some readers find emotional depth in stories that grapple with infidelity and its aftermath. Many others feel strongly about avoiding the theme entirely, particularly between the main couple, and this warning is here to support that preference. The alternatives below point toward stories built on loyalty and faithful, devoted partnership.
