Lee Karr’s standalone novels are gothic romances built on a reliable formula: a woman arrives at an isolated or imposing location, encounters a brooding love interest, and discovers that the place holds dangerous secrets. The settings do the heavy lifting in titles like Castle of Crushed Shamrocks, Mistress of Moontide Manor, and The Whispering Winds of Blackbriar Bay.
The books span from 1980 to 1996 and represent Karr’s earliest and most consistently gothic work. Before she moved into Harlequin’s paranormal romance lines, these standalones established her as a writer who could build atmosphere and sustain suspense within the romance framework.
