Of course, but because these are Gothic Romance, somewhere in the back of my mind I must have thought of the possibility of an unhappy ending.
In contrast to other romances, gothics can have unhappy, or tragic, endings. But, it takes a very good writer, with good plotting, to make a tragic ending work. As others have pointed out, there is a formula, but there are variations, so just because you've read one, it doesn't mean you've read them all. Happy reading, lostintwilight.
