It’s that time again! I’m so excited to share the cover for Tattooed Heart with you!
For this cover, the Kobo Originals team—shoutout to Jessica and Vanessa—worked with Ukrainian designer Miblart to match the cover for A Touch of Gold (the first book in the series). This time, they chose red roses to match Sabella’s character, who’s covered in rose and other red tattoos. The roses once again have a stunning illustrated style, all while remaining alluring yet discreet—fitting for this spicy romance.
For fun, I made a 3D paper version of the cover for a reveal Reel. Check it out on my Instagram!
But first, here’s the official cover, which I’m officially obsessed with.
Tattooed Heart
Stagwood Falls: Love in Ink Series, Book 2
Sabella makes a living covering up people’s bad tattoos, creating art out of regrets and mistakes. When she finds herself divorced from her high school sweetheart turned heartbreaker, she doesn’t just go into hiding; she takes her best friend up on an offer for a fresh start at her new tattoo shop and runs all the way to Stagwood Falls, an idyllic town reinventing itself after its own heartache. It’s the perfect place to hide, and it’s where she finds a new purpose: teaching the healing power of art to a community that’s desperate to move on. Unfortunately, to put her plan into action, Sabella must enlist the help of one sexy, sensitive town social worker, Benton Rhinehart—AKA the guy who wants nothing to do with her after their first encounter ended in hurt feelings and a wounded ego.
Benton gives everything to the people of Stagwood Falls, but the bank still took all he had when the recession hit. Instead of rebuilding himself, he eagerly dove headfirst into solving other people’s problems. So when Sabella comes to him with her community art program plan, Benton doesn’t hesitate to throw himself fully into it, even if that means working with the woman who shamelessly snubbed him the first time they met.
Despite their rocky start, it’s hard to ignore that Sabella and Benton make a great team. Their business relationship quickly turns into a friendship they both desperately need. Even though they’re better off as friends, the more time they spend together, the harder it is to ignore that there’s something much deeper going on. But when Sabella’s ex comes to town saying everything she wants to hear, she has to choose between her heart and her dream. Both feel like the same thing, and choosing wrong is one mistake she won’t be able to cover up.
