Series background & context
A World of Gothic is an umbrella for historical romances that lean into classic gothic pleasures: forbidding settings, gathering danger, old secrets, and attraction that never feels entirely safe. Amanda McCabe's contribution fits that mood well.
What matters most here is atmosphere. These stories tend to favor isolation, storms, hidden motives, and heroines who have to sort truth from performance while deciding whom they can trust. The romance is central, but it arrives with unease attached, which is exactly the point.
If you like your historical fiction darker around the edges, this is the kind of series that delivers on tone first. McCabe has always been good with secrets and emotional tension, and a gothic frame gives her plenty of room to use both.
