Looking for more “alt baddie” MMCs like Benedict Toomes and Cam Rohan (audiobook availability preferred)

Recommendation request

Most recently read Tessa Dare’s Say Yes to the Marquess and I like Rafe enough but he’s not quite scratching the itch. I like that he’s a fighter / tortured hero which is why I picked this up but idc for the I’m SOOOO large and brutish schtick personally.

What I realized I like so much about Benedict and Cam is that they are kind of “alt baddies”, for lack of better terminology. Cam has a tattoo and piercing. They both live alternative vagabond lifestyles. Outsiders from the other side of the tracks who don’t come from wealth but lower class fractured families and found a way to earn a living through hustling. Sure they can break up a bar fight but they are also very soulful and cunning.

My fear is that so many of us in this sub love these two MMCs because they are so singular in a sea of rakes and dukes.

Can anyone rec me some more Alt Baddie MMCs please?!

💗

Thanks in advance for your recs
