Another is 'Outlander' by Diana Gabaldon. Although it's a time - travel romance, there are elements of a forced marriage as Claire is thrust into a marriage with Jamie in the historical Scottish setting. The story beautifully weaves their relationship development against the backdrop of historical events.

One of the great ones is 'The Duke and I' by Julia Quinn. It features a forced marriage situation that gradually turns into a real love story. The characters are well - developed and the historical setting is vividly portrayed.

One common theme is the struggle against societal norms. In these novels, the characters are often forced into marriage due to family, social status or political reasons. They have to fight against the expectations placed on them.

Sure. 'The Arrangement' is a great one. It shows how two people who are forced into marriage find common ground and fall in love over time. The historical details are well - incorporated into the story.

In some novels, a danger or external threat also forces them to rely on each other, gradually deepening their connection.

A good one is 'The Mafia's Forced Bride' which is full of intense emotions. The heroine is thrust into a marriage with a mafia man, and at first, it's all about survival in a world she doesn't understand. But as the story progresses, their relationship deepens in a very interesting way.

Well, I really like 'The Forced Union' in this genre. The main characters are from rival families, and they are forced to marry to end the feud. The chemistry between them is palpable from the start. 'Compelled to Marry' is also a good one. The author does a great job of showing how the characters grow and change within the context of the forced marriage. Oh, and 'Bound by Marriage' is a novel where the forced marriage is more of a business deal at first, but then turns into a passionate love story.

It has elements of two characters who seem to be forced into close proximity due to work situations, which can be seen as a form of 'forced togetherness' leading to romance. Another is 'The Kiss Quotient' by Helen Hoang. The main character hires a male escort to teach her about relationships, which has a bit of a forced situation that blossoms into love. And 'A Court of Thorns and Roses' by Sarah J. Maas also has some undertones of a forced relationship that evolves into a deep romantic connection.
