Romance books tagged: PTSD
A character lives with post-traumatic stress.
This tag indicates that a character experiences post-traumatic stress as part of their story — often a veteran, survivor, or someone carrying the weight of a past trauma. Depictions vary in focus and intensity, and the tag is applied so that readers for whom this is sensitive can decide whether and when to engage.
