My Secret Obsession

With my latest book Seduced by Her Texas Billionaire Boss , coming out tomorrow, I thought I would let you into my secret obsession ~ cover making.
You may not be aware that I have just started making my own cover art, and I have to confess that's it's become something of an obsession. It goes beyond deciding what the hero and heroine should look like, but encompasses some of the emotion in the story.

First I had to choose a hero

Kyle Brannigan in my latest book, is a wild, devil-may-care guy who has built an empire with his own bare hands. His expertise in well control is second to none, and I needed to choose him carefully. I think he really looks the part, don't you?

Next I had to find a heroine for my hero

 

Tess Morgan had to have sex appeal, and a vulnerability all rolled into one. She was more difficult to find, and I spent hours trawling the web for someone who I thought fit the bill. I think I found my perfect heroine, with just the right amount of sassiness to keep my hero on his toes. Yep, she really fits the part. I think she can handle a billionaire, don't you?

My next port of call was the background

Now I needed something befitting, and incredibly sexy, but it was here that I made the mistake. I chose a beautiful bedroom scene, but unfortunately I didn't take into account the bedposts, which had an uncanny knack of sprouting from the heads of my hero and heroine. In the end, I had to erase the posts using some computer software. 

After manipulating the images for what seemed hours, this is what I ended it up with. So, although it took me a long time to make this cover, I'm very pleased with the results. Let me know what you think?  

Here's the blurb:

When he hires beautiful twenty-eight-year-old Tess Morgan as his personal assistant, he decides to mix business with pleasure.
Tess knows all about Kyle Brannigan’s womanizing ways, and though deeply attracted to him, vows never to become another of his sexual conquests. However, just watching her new boss in action, as he tames the dangerous environment he works in, causes her libido to run out of control.Can Tess resist Kyle Brannigan’s unique charm and Alpha male persona, or will she be seduced by her billionaire boss?You can purchase Seduced by Her Texas Billionaire Boss HERE
