- My Heart for Yours by Jolene Perry and Stephanie Campbell
- Wither by Lauren DeStefano

Oops I’ve never even read any of these. Did any of your favorites make it into her list? ;)
Do check out her book Replacing Gentry. I happen to love gothic stuff. Makes me think of old mansions that have vast and creepy untended gardens with floor fountains that don’t really work. You know what I mean? I think I might enjoy this one. :)

About Replacing Gentry
When Marlie agrees to attend a cadaver ball at Vanderbilt Medical School, she did not expect to actually see any cadavers. Or, that a strange apparition would issue her a chilling message.
Despite the cadaver’s warning, Marlie is married a year later to Tennessee State Senator, Daniel Cannon, and living in a plantation-style mansion with two step sons. Add to the mix her growing suspicion that something is amiss with the death of Daniel’s first wife, Gentry; and newlywed Marlie is definitely in over her pretty Yankee head.
What begins as an innocent inquiry into her new husband’s clouded past, ends with Marlie in the midst of a dangerous conspiracy.
A modern twist on the classic Gothic romance novels of Rebecca and Jane Eyre, Replacing Gentry follows Marlie’s precarious journey as she learns the truth about the man she married.
