There may be a lot of romance out there, but it all seems relatively recent. I'd like to find the older romantic suspense, but other than a handful of titles from Victoria Holt, Phyllis A. Whitney, and Mary Stewart, there doesn't seem to be anything available. I'm thinking of Velda Johnston, Jane Aiken Hodge, Dorothy Eden, Anne Maybury, Elsie Lee, Willo Davis Roberts, etc. These were kinds of paperbacks that had covers with a mansion in the background, a single light shining in a window, and a woman fleeing in the foreground. Fun stuff that sadly seems to have just disappeared.
