Another example is 'Twisted Love' where the male lead's actions border on abduction - like controlling the female lead's movements - and there is a strong undercurrent of seduction as they navigate their relationship in a rather dark and passionate way.
These novels usually develop by gradually revealing the motives of the abductor. Maybe it was out of a twisted sense of love or a need for control. As the captive tries to understand the abductor, they are also being seduced by the abductor's charm or mysteriousness. For example, in some novels, the abductor might save the captive from a worse situation, blurring the lines between abduction and protection, which then leads to the seduction part of the story.
One popular one is 'Taken by the Alien'. It tells a story of a human female who is abducted by an alien and then they develop unexpected romantic feelings during their encounters. Another is 'Alien Heartthrob' which features a unique alien species and a love story that unfolds across different planets.
A common theme is the power dynamic. There's often an imbalance of power due to the abduction situation which then gradually shifts as the relationship progresses. For example, in many of these novels, the abductor may initially hold all the power, but as the story unfolds, the kidnapped character starts to gain some sort of influence.
One popular one could be 'Ice Planet Barbarians' series. It involves human females being abducted to an alien planet and having romantic relationships with the alien mates there.
Well, 'Beauty from Pain' by Georgia Cates also falls into this category. The story involves a situation where the female lead is sort of abducted in a way, and from that, a passionate and somewhat dark romance blossoms. It's full of emotional turmoil and intense chemistry between the characters.
There are several novels that might fall into this category. For example, 'The Auction' is a story where the female protagonist is essentially abducted in a sense when she is sold at an auction and then forms a relationship with the man who buys her. It's a very dark and intense exploration of abduction and the development of a romantic connection. There are also many self - published works on platforms like Amazon that explore this trope in unique ways, often delving deep into the emotional and psychological states of the characters involved.
There are many great dark romance novels. For example, 'Gone Girl' by Gillian Flynn. It shows a very twisted relationship between the two main characters, full of lies and manipulation. 'The Picture of Dorian Gray' by Oscar Wilde has some elements of dark romance too. Dorian's relationships are influenced by his own dark and hedonistic pursuits.

James, which delves into a complex and somewhat dark relationship.
