Thanks.

relacção amorosa, caso de amor, ligação amorosa, ligação apaixonada...
Explanation:
love affair

caso de amor, caso amoroso, ligação amorosa, ligação apaixonada, relacção amorosa...

these are some suggestions.
Caso amoroso is a softer version, more into romance, the term ligação is closer though to the term affair...
Its a question of personal taste and depends a bit on your context too.
I would probably go for ligação amorosa. It has in my opinion the connotation of romance but also of a sexual relationship...

Good luck!

I hope it helps!
