the power of suggestion
This is my cover so far. it’s and highly unorothodox to put this out there as i go but it’s fun to play with the titles and subtitles. and i know you know what i mean.
the painting is Louis Icart’s 1920′s take on idyllic life in the 1700′s…an impossibly beautiful time that set the standard for what we still deem sensual today…the garter on her leg, her cleavage, the colors!

Coolness!! I wanna be French for the day, tooo!
The book title makes one blush and yet have a curiosity about what’s inside. Tales of a raucous Paris affair….or amazing design…. people will wonder for a moment what they will find opening the book. I dig it! :-D

I agree with Amy’s comment :) It certainly leaves alot up to the imagination and brings out the curious sex kitten in all of us. Even the kind of book you’d purposely leave on display beside your sumptuous bed as part of creating your very own boudoir look ;)
