    1. have you tried “six of crows” by leigh bardugo? it’s got amazing heist vibes and while there’s tiny bits of romance, it’s really about the crew and their mission first.

    2. The Wandering Inn Pirate Aba

      Michelle Sagara West Chronicles of Elantra,

      Elizabeth Moon Paksenarrion Series,

      Anne Bishop Others series,

    3. Have you read any of NK Jemisin’s work? She’s great and a really inventive and ambitious writer. Her *Broken Earth* is really good.
      *The Green Bone Saga* by Fonda Lee is another really good fantasy series. Both have sex and/or romantic relationships in them but it’s not, like, the point or the focus for either of them.
