Item description from seller

Two Novels by Phyllis A. Whitney is a 1960s Meredith Press edition that combines two of Whitney’s classic romantic suspense novels: Thunder Heights and Window on the Square. Both novels exemplify her mastery of Gothic storytelling, featuring atmospheric settings, complex family secrets, and strong-willed heroines. Thunder Heights In this tale, Camilla King is summoned to Thunder Heights, a crumbling mansion on the Hudson River, by her estranged grandfather, Orrin Judd. Upon her arrival, she discovers a family shrouded in mystery and tension. As she delves into the family's dark past, Camilla uncovers unsettling truths about her mother's death and the secrets that have haunted the Judd family for generations. The novel weaves elements of Gothic romance and suspense, keeping readers on edge as Camilla navigates the treacherous waters of family loyalty and hidden agendas. Window on the Square Set in 19th-century Manhattan, this novel follows Megan Kincaid, a dressmaker who becomes the governess to a troubled young boy, Jeremy Reid, whose father was allegedly killed by him in a tragic accident. As Megan integrates into the Reid household, she uncovers layers of deception, grief, and hidden motives among its members. Her growing attraction to Brandon Reid, Jeremy's stepfather, complicates matters further. The story delves into themes of love, guilt, and the search for truth, all set against the backdrop of a city recovering from political scandals.
