Joan Wolf: Margarita

Margarita, by Joan Wolf, was published by Signet in June 1982 and is the story of the heroine of that name and her marriage to the Earl of Winslow. She quickly becomes jealous when it looks as if he's continued affairs with others but wants to make her marriage work and survive and will do what it takes for that to happen.

Allan Kass illustrates our couple in an embrace that looks like it could be unwanted on the heroine's part. She is a beautiful Spanish lady while the hero is decidedly handsome. I like the books on the table which make it seem like it's her special retreat. Kass makes the reader wonder if this couple will be able to repair their marriage.
