Looking for romance-forward vibes

I am once again asking for your book recommendations.

I am on a quest to find books similar to the list below. I absolutely devoured them. To me, these are all romance-forward stories with solid story telling and great character development.

{Traitor Son by Melissa J. Cave}
{The Shattered King by Charlie N. Holmberg}
{Mages of the Wheel by J.D. Evans}
{Blood Mercy by Vela Roth}
{Radiance by Grace Draven} - every novel by Grace Draven hits for me
{Paladin’s Grace by T. Kingfisher}
{A Heart of Blood and Ashes by Milla Vane}
{The Bird and the Sword by Amy Harmon}

I think the main thing I love about these is we get a lot of interaction and dialogue between the MCs. I especially like when we get to watch their relationship build and we understand why the two people fall for each other. I’m a huge fan of forced proximity or arranged marriage and I love when there is a magic system. I also tend to prefer gentle and kind MCs. The yearning and sweetness of the romance in the above list for me was ✨chefs kiss ✨.

Anyone have any recs that are similar to the list above?
