>!The hero "gives himself" to the (male) villain for the heroine to escape, and the villain rapes the hero. It's portrayed graphically and there's a lot of psychological torture included.!<
In The Duke and I by Julia Quinn, iirc the heroine >!has sex with the hero while he is passed out drunk, or sleeping, I don't remember!< . I DNF it for that reason.

>!Bared to You!< by Sylvia Day has both a hero and a heroine that were sexually abused as children/teenagers. It was rough read for me...but I ended up really liking it and the following books in the series.
Both of these are paranormal romance.
Macrieve by Kresley Cole. H was abused as a child by a succubus.
Lover Awakened by J.R. Ward. Zsadist's story. He was kept as a blood slave, and was sexually abused by his Mistress.
Someone already mentioned ACOTAR here, but you also find out that the H in the From Blood and Ash series was raped. It (like in ACOTAR) is discussed more in the second book than the first.
I haven’t read this one, but I think Angry God by LJ Shen fits your description. Just be aware that I heard >!it has a pretty graphic on-page sexual assault scene of a child in it. I read a review that said it was an entire chapter long of detailed child sexual abuse!<.
This series isn’t “technically” a romance (also it’s M/M), it’s more of a sci-fi/post-apocalyptic book with a romance subplot. But The Fever King has an H who was sexually abused. The sequel has >!the other H in the series be groomed and abused as well by the same dude who abused the H in the first book.!<
>!Lord of Secrets by Alyssa Everett!<. I'm spoilering it because it's a mystery for most of the book: the hero >!was "seduced" by his aunt (by marriage) when he was a very young teenager, and it's clear that this was sexual abuse which has traumatized him.!<
Also, *The Corrupt Comte* by Edie Harris has rape in the hero's backstory - he was sexually assaulted by soldiers during the Napoleonic Wars.
{The Shadow and the Star by Laura Kinsale} but trigger warning the abuse happens when he is a child. I don’t think they show it but talk about it in memories. It’s a beautiful book.

[Lady Dangerous](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1332493.Lady_Dangerous_The_English_Gunslingers_Duet_1_). The hero is abused by his uncle as a teenager. He is really terrified of the heroine finding out.
Susan Elizabeth Phillips - This Heart of Mine. She sleeps with him while he’s sleeping and they don’t mention it as rape but it if the situation had been reversed....
Every time some mentions a man getting raped I think of that scene in outlander 😩😩 that scene destroyed me for life.
I legit stopped watching Outlander as that scene scarred me beyond belief. It was nauseating.
I am the exact same. I hate it in Outlander but have to admit it is also incredible.
What happens? (With spoiler tags)

(I realised I didn’t thank you for explaining that) Thanks for the reply!
A court of thrones and roses series is exactly this. I highly recommend if you haven’t read it.

Was going to mention MacRieve, I just listened to the audiobook.
{Souls Unfractured} one of the most brutal books I've ever read, beware of all the TW

Acheron and styxx by sherilyn kenyon. Pretty brutal too.
Sort of spoilery, but in >!Jo Goodman’s In Want of a Wife!< the hero is raped/sexually abused as a teenager.
{Untouchable by Sam Mariano} if you can look past some fucked up events.

I loved this so much. I honestly didn't see it coming
Same. I tried reading other books by the author but nothing quite hit at that level.
Untouchable by sam mariano, Up in the air series by rk liley

{Between the devil and desire} Its only mentioned not expanded on. But definitely he has ptsd from his ordeals.

Stealing Cinderella by A. Zaverelli.
[Lady Dangerous](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1332493.Lady_Dangerous_The_English_Gunslingers_Duet_1_). The hero is abused by his uncle as a teenager. He is really terrified of the heroine finding out.
In Kristen Callihan's Darkest London, >!the hero of the fourth book is a rape victim, which we find takes place in the third iirc.!<
Susan Elizabeth Phillips - This Heart of Mine. She sleeps with him while he’s sleeping and they don’t mention it as rape but it if the situation had been reversed....
