Everyone else treated her like a weapon/ bargaining chip... except him
Hiiii lovelies, I’m looking for books where the fmc is feared, emotionally guarded, politically used, morally gray, or treated like an object/weapon by everyone around her… except the mmc.
I want an mmc who is:
Observant and emotionally intelligent.
Patient instead of cruel.
Protective without being controlling.
Gentle with her in a way no one else has ever been.
Bonus points if:
She believes she’s unlovable/incapable of love.
She’s done terrible things or is blamed for something.
There’s yearning, emotional intimacy, and good spice.
I DON’T want:
MMCs who constantly humiliate or emotionally torment the fmc. I love a good banter but borderline bullying is where I draw the line.
He emotionally abused her but apologized with good sex and barely any accountability.
Cruelty disguised as chemistry
A perfect example of the dynamic I love is Jonas Eriksson (ughhhh) and Skadi from {The mist thief by L.J Andrews}
Please give me books that will emotionally ruin me 😭
