That can include body language alongside the dialogue (his fingers tensed on his neck as his lips spoke…).9. Coherence manager

Let me remember:

Physical features of each character.

Place and time of each scene.

Current emotional state of the protagonists.

This will prevent them from changing clothes, wounds, or emotions without explanation.

In dark romance, it's not just that love is intense or passionate, but that it is tinged with dark elements—morally questionable, psychologically intense, or dangerous—that test the characters and the reader. I'll separate it into the most common types (although many stories mix several):
