Sunshine FMC, mafia or other dark job MMC, he wants someone soft to come home to
I want the FMC to be completely oblivious to the world's dangers before meeting MMC (E.g. not a mafia princess, cop's daughter, child of addicts etc). She goes through life happy as Larry. He sees her laughing with her friends or something and it breaks through his dark mood and he falls in love with how carefree she looks and he decides he's going to have her without any coincidental dangerous circumstances forcing his hand, but he doesn't want to dim her light so he has to court her rather than threaten, or kidnap her into a relationship, and there isn't a point where he thinks he's going to stay away for her own good. She likes him from the first but expects things to progress like a regular relationship with dates (no forced proximity, moving in together on day one, but maybe he needs to secretly protect her or something).
His endgame is getting to come home from his high stakes job to find her gardening, or baking or something wholesome and listen to her low stakes problems over a homely dinner. Ideally she shouldn't have to give up her job and hobbies though
Bonus if no miscommunication breakup (he doesn't lie about his job and she gets scared or thinks he doesn't trust her and breaks up with him).
I've used the search but haven't found any mafia x sunshine books where the MCs aren't somewhat forced together due to her being in a dangerous situation.
I think the way the MCs met in {Silent Flames by Cate C Wells} could have been close to this if only the MMC hadn't turned out to have been manipulating the FMC and all her psychological things.
No BDSM or motorcycle club please
