If you are okay with queer romances, I have some suggestions:
The Lily and The Crown by Roslyn Sinclair is an age gap romance set on a space station. This story is primarily about the romance and relationship.
No Shelter But The Stars by Virginia Black, enemies-to-lovers between two women marooned on an uninhabited planet.
The Red Scholar’s Wake by Aliette de Bodard is a sci-fi story about space pirates, centered on a relationship between a woman and a sentient pirate space ship that coaxes her into a marriage of convenience.

Romantasy tends to be very steamy these days. I don’t know all of the suggestions in this threads, but the ones I’ve read are not. Just as a head’s up, if that’s part of what you’re looking for in the SF version of romantasy.
