Michelle Kasey: The Toplofty Lord Thorpe

The Toplofty Lord Thorpe was published by Signet in November 1986. Lucy Gladwin was convinced that she was in love with Lord Thorpe and began a plan of campaign for his heart that was the entertainment of the season! This book is a sequel to The Beleaguered Lord Bourne.

Our cover by Allan Kass is all darkness and shadows. I like the setting outside near an ornate wall. Our hero looks as if he's captured the heroine. I wonder if she has taken a walk before dinner since her hair isn't done, but is in a ponytail. The hero looks dressed for the evening and I wonder if this was an accidental meeting.
