You totally want to pick up Melusine, the Virtu, and Mirador by Sarah Monette. The incest is one-sided, but it is a subtle uncurrent in the first book and openly discussed in the second and third.
And they're just awesome books in general with a complex fantasy world and a main character who is gay without the book being about him being gay.
The Winter Prince by Elizabeth E. Wein is awesome too-- Mordred's relationship with his mother is fucked beyond all belief, and he starts to take it out on his younger twin siblings (Arthur's legitimate children).
And Smoke and Mirrors, by Tanya Huff. An incestuous ghost pair, kind of in the background.
