I just finished reading "The Ranch on the Wolverine" by B.M. Bower (published 1914, and available at Project Gutenberg). It's billed as a Western, but really more of a Romance novel. Of course there are people behaving badly in it, but it's wholesome overall and insightful. Moral rectitude was more in literary fashion one hundred years ago, so old, public domain novels may be what you're looking for.
