Clear-Headed, Independent Female Lead Who Doesn't Let Romance Rule Her Life

Looking for books like "Disguised Seduction". The female lead should be clear-headed and independent, not lovesick, and know what she wants instead of blindly following others. The writing shouldn't feel too juvenile. If there's a couple, the romance shouldn't be too sappy. The leads should grow together and be understanding of each other.

Any Worthwhile Romance Novels with a Levelheaded Female Lead, Solid Logic, and No Naive Goody-Two-Shoes?

Looking for good romance novels with coherent, logical plots. I don't want unrealistic stories where the male lead's company somehow accounts for 65% of the world economy. The female lead shouldn't be a naive, simpering doormat or a scheming two-faced social climber. She should be a woman with a mind of her own.
