The last one I read that was decent and lacked those tropes (and wasn't m/m or f/f) was Leslie Kelly's Slow Hands.

Rich girl bids on guy at charity auction, thinks he's the gigolo type based on his profile. Turns out there was a mix-up in the profiles and she bought a nice normal EMT guy. Someone on Goodreads probably put it best when they said:

"This book takes Highly Improbable Circumstances, combines them with a Big Misunderstanding, adds a generous dollop of Human-Physics-Defying Sexual Antics, and garnishes with a pinch of Predictable Crisis Point to arrive at the Happily Ever After. Some of the writing is a bit rough, but generally speaking it's an undemanding read, and the lead couple are pretty decent characters, if forgettable."

In other words it's not exactly a long, complex intellectually-stimulating plot but it's decent.

If you like suspense/thrillers, there's Iris Johansen. I've liked what I read of hers and most of it doesn't have the tropes you mention.
