I guess I’m not in her target audience, because this cover is doing nothing for me. It might be exciting to an Alaskan deep sea fisherman or a Big Wave surfer, but I’m just guessing.
Why the sword and the blue rose? If this is supposed to be a Romantic Medieval Fantasy, then slap some sense into Ms. Vickery. A realistic photo of a heaving, empty ocean is about as anti-romance, anti-medieval, and anti-fantasy as you can get.
mwahahahaha. Although, NOT romantic. Ever heard a woman in her 21st hour of hard labor? NOT romantic.

Somewhere beyond the sea
Somewhere waiting for me
A good cover stands on golden sands
And watches bad covers go a’sinkin’….

That reminds me of opening of my favorite childhood TV shows, “Victory at Sea” Or of the vacation ride on the tourist boat from Charleston SC to Ft. Sumter.
More than anything else, that reminds me of the opening of the the movie “Battle of the River Plate” aka “Pursuit of the Graf Spee”, rough Atlantic Sea with a voice-over up narration about the start of WWII, German navy v British shipping.
Least of all does it remind me of desire. Maybe a few of the stormy marriages resulting from desire….

Bad font choice, too. At least for the title.
Nothing says ‘desire’ like Arial.
