Looking for authors that resemble the late VC Andrews.?

Question

I love VC Andrews (the early works) and am looking for a similar author. I don't care for the books that the new "ghostwriter" has come out with since her death, and I'm trying to find a new author to read that more closely resembles her style.

Would you consider her genre to be Suspense Thriller? Mystery Thriller? Romatic Suspense? What? I've searched these genres many times on Amazon, but have yet to find something that piques my interest in such a way that I feel the need to read the book right then and there!

I love a juicy, suspenseful read that entails uncovering sorted pasts and shocking secrets! If you can help me out, I also enjoy modern suspense thrillers (not crime drama, police procedural, or gory horror novels) that offer edge-of-your-seat reading and plenty of raw, racy sex scenes, whether it's love and passion, or hungry violence!

Can someone give me some great suggestions? Ten points to the longest list, and please be sure your suggestions fit my criteria! Thx
