"So here it is -finally! I'm not even going to say how long this took." - Paul

Paul, this was well worth the wait! I'm so glad you managed to get everything sorted out with your computer and software!

There's no billowy shirt in this entry, but I think you'll agree that we got a lot of yummy goodness anyway! Johnny Depp eat your heart out! The creativity goes even farther than the cover too - just read the story behind this cover! I think choosing the winner will be tough.

Edit: I have a full version of this - and everything has been rendered to look like the photo realistic painting style found on most romance covers.

Design and Model: Paul
Synopsis Author: Dex Xu

Synopsis:

With each setting sun, Gareth Falconheart stands at the bow of his ship, the Black Talon, scanning the horizon with piercingly dark eyes. A pirate by title as well as in nature, he has taken many a life and even more innocent hearts throughout his journeys of the seas. Orphaned at the age of three, Gareth has finally found his place. With dangerously handsome features and the belief that he needs nothing and no one, Gareth's life is complete. Or is it?

A few miles behind, Wolfmoon sails swiftly, captained by the headstrong yet breathtakingly stunning Sabra de Ivonlea. With the ship's first mate Sculley by her side, Sabra operates on the promise she made at her father's deathbed.

The mission: destroy their sworn enemy, the Black Talon. When the two ships clash in battle and their captains meet face to face for the first time, the sparks that flew far surpassed those of the booming cannons.

As the war rages on, the desperate couple must also fight against their forbidden love. Can their rapidly evolving feelings overcome a vendetta of a hundred years? Or will their souls be destroyed in the aftermath of a prophecy fulfilled? Whatever the outcome, no one would ever forget the day that Gareth Falconheart and Sabra de Ivonlea locked gazes in The Secret Weapon.

Keira's favorite type of heroes are blind, scarred, and tortured... yes, she understands those should be separate, but all 3 at once is also nice! She enjoys historical romances best and adores audio books because great narrators turn books into auditory/mental movies (and she loves her romantic dramas like Pride and Prejudice/North and South!)

I have to go with a “secret weapon” that uh, obviously references a… sword. *GIGGLE* Was her deathbed promise a binding contract? If she’s the executor of her father’s estate, then she’s making promises to herself… erm…

The light halo around his head is a little weird, but this is a romance novel forrealsies. All it needs is some woman with huge breasts looking insanely worried.
