I think the body part of the image is licensed from Period Images, which specialize in “historical” costume photos for book covers. I know it’s not the historical inaccuracies that landed this cover here, but they’re what’s annoying me the most.
1811-1820 (considering how many romance books are set in the Regency period you’d think it had lasted longer) but while yes, short hair for men was in, that’s the only thing remotely similar. Also nobles didn’t shave their chests or go to the gym. And that shirt style didn’t come around until the 1890s.
Nothing sexier than that “I’m dead inside; maybe outside too” look on whoever’s face got pasted on here.
What the hell? That is neither Castor Troy nor Sean Archer. I want my money back.

I’d love to see that hair cut in the 1700’s. Just LUV to see it.
It’s cute that you think these authors put effort into their stories.
Um, @LBC Participant: sorry what gave you that impression? That a thought like that had ever–ever–crossed my wee mnd?
