Destiny and Desire

Apparently this author is reissuing all over her romance novels from a couple of decades back. So instead of a richly realized bodice-ripper cover, you get… this.

Needs more red, white and blue. Or, red, grey and blue.

Because nothing says romance like a pixelized rebel flag
Bonus points for the horse on the bottom left that looks like it has two heads.

Yeah I can see where the romance isn’t obvious in this. WTF is wrong with that horse? I think it might be the rider’s hat but it’s so blurry I can’t tell.

Based on the original cover, it’s some kind of Gone with the Wind knock-off–I’m guessing: http://pictures.abebooks.com/isbn/9781557730589-us-300.jpg
