Victoria Holt's "The legend of the seventh virgin" doesn't have a happy ending insofar that the heroine doesn't get the hero in the end because of her scheming to get possession of the estate. That makes this book one of my favorite Holts. I wish there were more books where the protagonist isn't a terribly nice person but you still wish to identify with her. Being able to create such a heroine says a lot about the accomplishments of the author.
I also admired the heroine of "Wideacre" by Philippa Gregory a lot. She was a really bad girl, but very interesting too.
