Looking for a romance book with similar dynamics & plot as in Jane Eyre

Hi everyone!

I’m looking for a romance book (contemporary or historical) that has vibes similar to Jane Eyre.

Here’s what I’m looking for:

– A !very similar! plot but as a modern retelling.

– A historical romance with a different story but the same dynamics between the MMC and FMC as in Jane Eyre.

– A contemporary romance with a different plot but the same kind of dynamic between the MMC and FMC as in Jane Eyre.

What I’m specifically looking for in the MMC (like Mr. Rochester):

– Brooding, mysterious, and emotionally complex

– Has a dark or troubled past

– Sometimes gruff or difficult, but deeply loyal and loving beneath the surface

– Intensely devoted to the FMC once they truly connect

What I’m not looking for:

– Dark romance

– Paranormal / fantasy

– No pregnancy please (its okay if its in the end!)

– Dual POV (STILL MENTION PLS if the story really fits the topic!!!!)

– Over over over over-possessive MMC

– very Bratty MMC or FMC

Thanks in advance! 💕
