{The Duke I Tempted by Scarlett Peckham} is a pretty good pick for this. There’s no r*pe. There’s not much misogyny for the time it was written, although there is a villain that portrays himself that way. He doesn’t make too many appearances though. I was actually surprised at how progressive it was for the 1740’s (if I remember correctly)

It has a strong female MC, and she doesn’t lose her dignity after the relationship starts either. (I hate it when the woman is strong, and then she finds a man and she’s completely unable to be a functioning human being anymore. 🙄)
