Basically I want a happy ending version of Norma Bates and Alex Romero, without the Norman baggage and the insanity behind Norma.
I need a hero who is aloof and seemingly impenetrable but as soon as the they start falling for the heroine, even when it seems unrequited, they have to kill or do stuff to keep them safe.
I really don’t want any of those billionaire or bdsm/extreme smut stories.
I just want a nice slow burn with lots of angst and two people who are miserable but that bring happiness to one another.
Time period not a concern, but my favoured eras are from 1870-present day (no future stuff).
I’d prefer older characters, rather than young string beans.
Thanks!

I just finished a discovery of witches which is clearly written to be the first in a series. so there’s no definitive ending in this volume, and no indication of what it will be when it eventually comes.
I’ve griped vocally about it, full disclosure. but my tastes are very different to yours and I think it may be a fit for you so I’m suggesting it anyway. it definitely has a slow burn and a ton of “lookit how much he loves her” flagging. and the smut angle is one of the slowest of all the burns, so you’re safe there.
