The latter situation occurs in many romances, both historical and contemporary--e.g., the hero returns from war wounded in mind and/or body and feels unworthy of love, or he's a self-made man and she's one of the privileged elite. Some examples here.
For the former, Goodreads has a " heroine spoiled" shelf, which might fit your search. |
I did not know this rec-league existed but now have plenty of suggestions to peruse!
Definitely looking for a modern setting on the latter, though I'm also very down for all the historical romances featuring it as well. Thank you very much!
