It’s been a while since I read it, and tbh that part of the plot didn’t make much of an impression on me. But IIRC, one of the main characters (Margarit) is expected to marry her cousin, especially after she inherits a large amount of money and property. Her cousin attempts to sexually assault her, but doesn’t actually manage anything. This is the catalyst for Margarit leaving her terrible relatives’ home and setting up her own household with her bodyguard (and future love interest) Barbara.

It’s clumsily handled, but it was a pretty minor part of the book.

The protagonist of the second book sleeps with a man in order to get away from her city even though she doesn't want to; she frames it in her mind as a bargain she's making/kind of like prostitution but it's still got that connotation.
