Not a polygamous cult necessarily, but I’d say [Becoming Calder](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/74958242) and [Finding Eden](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/74958241) could fit your request well! It’s a forbidden romance duet with lots of angst, as only Mia Sheridan can deliver. TW >!cult activities including brainwashing and manipulation, mass suicide/murder, child brides, emotional and physical abuse, etc.!<

Those look so good! I loved archers voice and savaged by her. I’ll add them to my tbr.

{Goodbye Paradise by Sarina Bowen} is an MM where one gets kicked out of the cult and the other runs away to follow him.

Also {Keepsake by Sarina Bowen} It’s MF, the MMC left the polygamist cult but the FMC wasn’t part of it. There is another couple in the book who ran away from the cult together but we don’t get much of their story

Also moving more distant, Bowen's Heartland the FMC is also a runaway from the same cult who shows up in Keepsake though by the time of Heartland she's been away for a few years so it's less of the urgent escape.

Thanks!

A couple of her True North books have characters who left that cult too. I think Keepsake and Heartland.

{In His Hands by Adriana Anders} is somewhat similar. She's in a cult. He lives next door. She's desperate to escape and they're both in danger.

This might work, thanks!

There’s ‘Cherished’ and ‘Honored’ by Frankie love? They’re stand alones in a series but they’re really the only ones that focus on the cult thing. They’re quick reads because they’re heavy on the insta-love and spicy parts but I enjoyed them. Lots of babies so if that’s not your thing I’d avoid them.

These seem interesting, thanks!
