Romance stories focus primarily on character relationships and development. There is a strong trope in most if not all, the sub-genres for Romance for a Happily Ever After (HEA) or Happy For Now (HFN). Violating the HEA/HFN trope should not be done lightly or at a whim, as this tends to turn off readers of this genre.
