I’m thrilled to share the cover of Wicked Little Secrets, my upcoming Victorian romance to be published by the fabulous Sourcebooks. I just adore the image. The colors are vivid and have so much depth. I love the light contouring his body and contrasting with the dark mysterious background.
I must make a big print of the cover and hang it in my office. Happy Friday!
