Wdym you're attracted/interested in me!? MMC disbelief

Hiii! I hope you guys can help me out:)

I really like the plots that starts with mutual interest or grows trough charming one another day by day but the actually golden point is when the MMC has no idea that FMC actually likes and is attracted to him, and is better that he discovers after some time or some miscommunication.

That can happen for many reasons like he has low self-esteem (Sweet Temptation by Cora Reilly), is lonely cause stands in a place of power and seems like a cold guy (Deal with the Elf King by Elise Kova), thinks he's not worthy of anything (Bound by Vengeance by Cora Reilly), considered ugly by others and himself (Lord of Scoundrels by Loretta Chase), scarred male that's considered horrible looking (The Duchess Deal by Tessa Dare, Choosing Theo by Victoria Aveline, Broken Whispers and Beautiful Beast by Neva Altaj).

They can be victims, oppressed, lonely, shy or grey, mean, cold, smug or whatever.

(The Sweetest Oblivion by Danielle Lore and The Love Hypothesis by Ali Hazelwood) the MMC doesn't have any low consideration of himself but he thinks that the FMC is in love with someone else cause of miscommunication and that drives him crazy and I like that too, cause she's obsessed with him just as much and it's a surprise for him. So I'm up for that too.

I'm only up for a happy ending story, MMC/FMC, no bdsm, no cheating. It can be any genre just as long being good.

I can't wait to see what you guys know cause I really love these books and I recommend all of them.
