Romantic Suspense Genre

The threat is real. The feelings are inconvenient. Neither one is going away.

This Claude skill file is pre-built for romantic suspense — propulsive, emotionally grounded stories where the love story and the danger develop simultaneously and neither can be separated from the other. Upload it once and Claude writes with the dual-track structure the genre demands: threat escalating on one track, relationship deepening on the other, both moving at all times.

What's already built in: brand promise and the two-track structure explained, pacing notes with specific chapter-length and ending guidance, hero and heroine archetypes, signature tropes (protective hero/reluctant heroine, witness who becomes an asset, undercover identity complications, cold case gone hot), hard limits including the no-helpless-heroine and both-loops-must-close rules, and a scene checklist with an integration test that tells you whether the danger is doing real work or just decoration.

Heat level calibrated for 3–4/5 — sensual and emotionally charged, with intimacy that arrives at the worst possible moment and means something because of it. Add your hero's specific profession, your subgenre lane, and your series world, and this skill becomes entirely yours.

Includes the genre skill file and the Quick-Start Prompt Sheet so you're writing with it in minutes.
