Recommend books in which the main characters are oblivious to their mutual attraction
I'm interested in a dynamic where both MCs find each other attractive while simultaneously being convinced that their feelings aren't reciprocated.
One recent example I read involved the MMC wincing at the mention of the FMC's scars. She interpreted his reaction as disgust, when in reality, he was horrified by what had happened to her while also being deeply attracted to her.
It definitely needs to be a slow burn. I want this dynamic to last as long as possible.
