After the Bear π»
Romances where the FMC has been victim of SA and is now healing and learning how to trust again or is assaulted π in the book itself and the after is part of the plot as well.
(Added some content to the recs in the comments. Please do your own research into the potential triggers as well before diving into any of these as some are quite dark.)

Shy Vulnerable FMC
FMC that has gone through it and is scared, vulnerable, painfully shy. Books with PTSD representation and a fair amount of trauma healing.
4






Emotional Trainwrecks ππ
Books that (if you have functioning tear ducts) leave you crying. Stories that feel hopeless and dark.
Warning; not all have a HEA (and there's one non-romance, My Dark Vanessa).
