What’s a good romance where the male protagonist is a good deal older than the female protagonist?

Can be any time from the late 1800’s to modern (as in current-day). Preferably modern.

I can’t find any good romance stories and am now looking for books with this theme.
Vampire Diaries…hes like 500 years older lol
the host–but the alien is older–the alien is a girl
Jane Eyre. She’s definitely younger than him, though I forget by how much. It’s an awesome book, and for its time period, it is not a difficult read (says the girl who couldn’t get through Pride and Prejudice).
The one I was thinking of is Tryst. It takes place in the early 20th century, however. Can also be hard to find. Link is for Amazon where you can read reviews, if you’re interested. She’s 17 and I think he’s in his 30s.
Many regencies have older protagonists, but again, they take place long ago (1800s)
This is way out there (perhaps), but Silhouette has a series called An Older Man, though from the review, can’t tell if this means he’s a lot older or not.
The second link is a search for Romance and then Older Man. I didn’t narrow it to Contemporary, but you could.
