Dying to read romance novels that have the heroine disquised as a male.?

I have read most if not all the novels dating 2000 or newer( if you believe the book is unknown to me then list it). I have also read all the novels written by modern best sellers. This includes Catharine Coulter, Linda Howard, ext. I am mainly looking for books from 1995 or older(going down to 1970's). I have been disappointed in my search for these books because I know it is a popular genera and was hoping I'd be able to find them. I was able to find some novels that fit this by reading the novel listings in the back of a book published in 1987. I would like westerns but it really doesn't matter. This lack of answers has been driving me insane for close to two years now. So I now leave the search up to you.

1. The Switch by Lynsay Sands.
2. Twelfth Night by Shakesphere
3. Monstrous Regiment by Terry Pratchett - a fantasy about a girl who goes to be a soldier. There's as much satire as romance. It's really funny. There are also a number of novels based on the life of Grace (or Grania or Granuaile) O'Malley, a 16th c. Irish noblewoman who took over her father's ships. The one I know of is The Pirate Queen by Alan Gold.
4. The Masqueraders by Georgette Heyer
5. In addition to what another answerer suggests, if you like stylish and witty 18th century and Regency romance, Georgette Heyer has written several books where the heroine dresses as a man - partly, anyway! The Masqueraders - 18th century; a brother and sister dress as the opposite sex for a reason. The Corinthian - Regency; a young girl dresses as a boy to run away from home. These Old Shades - 18th century; the heroine is disguised as a boy. Simon the Coldheart - Medieval; the heroine dresses as a boy to escape.
