Carla Kelly: Miss Chartley's Guided Tour

Miss Chartley's Guided Tour was published by Signet in July 1989. Omega Chartley was jilted at the altar and ended up a teacher. When she runs into her sweetheart again, she needs to make a choice whether to live in the past to take a second chance on love.

Our heroine's blue gown is definitely the focal point in this cover by Allan Kass. It's light among all of the warm orange tones. Our hero looks careworn and a bit older than his usual heroes. I like the heroine's braid which gives her hairdo a coronet effect. Note her snake bangle and the round cushion pillow. They are interesting details.
