Books with no groveling

I think I might be a rare exception because a lot of the time I don‘t really like groveling. I keep hearing people asking for good groveling books, so here‘s me asking for good books that DON‘T have any groveling, lol. (Or only VERY minimal.)

I do want the MMC to do some bad things but I just don‘t want him to be repentant about it.

My favorite genres are fantasy, dark romance and historical. Though I am open for other genres as well. Oh and also I would prefer there to be some spice.

Do you have any good recommendations for me? Also is there anyone who is like me and not a fan of groveling either?
