Joan Smith: Perdita

Perdita was published in April 1981 and is part of Fawcett's Coventry Romance line. Perdita was wild and impetuous but when she got caught up with Lord Stornaway, the biggest rake in London, could Moira, her cousin and chaperone, help her? Especially when she had a tendre for him, herself?

Allan Kass sets this cover in a ballroom and we see our couple sharing a moment together before a dance. It's as if the hero is pleading as he places his hand over hers. I like the detail of the gold and mirrors.
