Helen Tucker: A Wedding Day Deception

Fawcett published A Wedding Day Deception in November 1981 and it numbers #151 in the Coventry Romance series, which ran from 1979-1982. Juliana received a cryptic message the eve of her wedding and wonders if she could be still be in love with a man who walked away.

Allan Kass shows her dilemma as he pictures the bride between two suitors, all dressed formally for a wedding! This gown seems more fitting for the elegant regency bride and I like her hairstyle, which is reminiscent of the coming Victorian period. It's a pick me up cover since we wonder who she will choose?

Helen Tucker: A Strange and Ill-Starred Marriage

1978 is the publication date for this novel by Helen Tucker. Jocelyn  was married to an older man to avoid financial ruin but finds herself falling in love with his younger brother!

Allan Kass illustrates this dilemma on this cover with the bride gazing at the hero while her new husband stands behind. During regency times, most brides would wear their best dress, not necessarily a white gown. Her dress is almost too modern looking. What do you think?

Helen Tucker: Season of Dishonor

Season of Dishonor was published in August 1982 and numbered #206 for Fawcett's Coventry Romance line. Miranda Stanfield is about to embark on her first London season and learns that handsome is as handsome does!

I like this cover by Allan Kass. It shows our heroine in a pensive mood and the hero encouraging her. Both are elegantly dressed for dinner and the room in which they stand fine indeed. I like that she plays with the pearls at her neck; it shows us her emotions.

Helen Tucker: The Halverton Scandal

The Halverton Scandal was published by Fawcett in October 1980. Set during the reign of Queen Victoria, Faine Tillery is persuaded to pretend to be married to Norris Halverton in order to protect his inheritance from his own brother!

Allan Kass gives us a double dose of hero in this book cover! Two handsome twins and a heroine who is having problems making up her mind! The setting is colorful while the heroine's white gown seems a bit heavy and fussy next to the cool elegance of the gentlemen.
