Romance books tagged: Secret Identity

A character conceals their true identity.

This tag indicates that a secret identity features in the story — a character concealing who they truly are. It is far more often a beloved romance device than a distressing theme, and the tag is included mainly for readers who track it for personal reasons.

Most readers find secret-identity storylines full of delicious dramatic irony and anticipation. The tag appears here largely for completeness. If you'd prefer straightforward, no-secrets romance, the alternatives below point that way.
