Ammie, Come Home by Barbara Michaels

[RareMale]

Probably the closest thing to Gothic after Ammie, Come Home would be House of Many Shadows, although it's also more of a ghost story than a Gothic. Mostly she writes the Mary Stewart / Phyllis A. Whitney type of romantic suspense. She also tends to parody mainstream romance, the Vicky Bliss and Jacqueline Kirby novels are examples of this, and some (Legend in Green Velvet, The Camelot Caper) are romantic comedy. I wonder if Houses of Stone was meant as a Gothic parody and just doesn't work.
