The Dark Moment is a crucial scene in a romance novel, where the hero and/or heroine face a major obstacle or challenge that threatens to tear or keep them apart. This moment typically occurs towards the end of the story, and creates a sense of tension and conflict that the hero and/or heroine must overcome in order to achieve a happy ending.

Here's my list:

• a revelation of a deep secret or betrayal.

• a misunderstanding or miscommunication that creates a rift between the hero and heroine.

• a life-changing event that shakes up their world.

• an external force, like an antagonist, physical obstruction, or mystic force, pushing them apart. The inner obstruction wouldn't apply here.

• Internal issues or insecurities Romance Roadmap: https://ineswrites.com/romancemap
