I recently read my first Amanda Quick book and thought it was hugely enjoyable. I only ever seem to read Regency romances (the influence of Heyer, I suspect) but favourite authors are Loretta Chase (hilarious and vastly underrated) and Julia Quinn (who fluctuates between 'quite good' and 'wonderful').
Chances are - some of those names are going to be syndicated 'house brands' with a number of authors, a few of them famous in their own right. That's a long and time honored tradition with pulp fiction of any sort.
