Dark Romance

Morally Grey MC

A love interest who does bad things for reasons the story wants you to understand, if not forgive. Morally grey heroes (and heroines) kill, lie or manipulate, but live by a code of their own. The appeal is complexity: the book never lets you settle on whether they are good.
