This isn't exactly a romance, but Susan Howatch's _The Wheel Of Fortune_ is $1.99 at Amazon. For years this was my favorite book; it's a family saga and romance, murder, madness, and other dramatics abound. Howatch is an expert in using multiple points of view to tell a story; it's amazing to read.

Quote:
Welsh heir Robert Godwin knows everything about his powerful family’s interests, but what does he know of his own heart?
Tucked in the hills of South Wales is Oxmoon, the ancestral estate of the Godwin family. In the summers before 1914, music streams through the family home as the Godwins, at the height of their prosperity, dance in the ballroom with their guests. But despite the remarkable talents of heir-apparent Robert Godwin, the fates have a rough, tough ride planned for him and those he loves. Fortunes shift during two world wars, disastrous love affairs leave the family battered, and finally jealousy threatens to destroy Oxmoon and all it symbolizes. Based on a true story that has been updated to modern times, The Wheel of Fortune is a timeless tale of love, hatred, revenge, redemption, and forgiveness.
