Romantic suspense that's not too dark and MMC that isn't a walking red flag

I just went through a few past threads looking for recommendations, and I think I've hit a wall. I really enjoy romantic suspense, but I'm having trouble finding new authors.

I don't like suspense that's too dark or MMCs that are the embodiment of toxic masculinity.

I really loved the {Search and Rescue series by Katie Ruggle}. I also liked the {Lost and Found series by Catherine Cowles} and {The Edens by Devney Perry}. I did like the {FBI/US Attorney series by Julia James} even though the MMCs kinda break the no assholes rule.

I do not like Karen Rose, Susan Howard, Nora Roberts/J.D. Robb. Kristen Ashley is "no-go" for me.

Please help me find some authors that do a good job balancing the romance and suspense. I don't know why, but I find this subgenre so much more difficult to navigate than others. Thank you!!
