Sylvia Thorpe: Rogue's Covenant

Rogue's Covenant by Sylvia Thorpe was published in the mid 1970's and is a romance set in the mid 1700's. Joanna was intrigued by the stranger visiting from Barbados and ecstatic when he proposed to her! However, he isn't what he seems to be and will lead her into scandal before all is well.

Allan Kass depicts a typical Georgian couple sitting outside on a summer day. The hero is enchanted with the heroine, who is elegant in a flowing golden dress. We see a modest house behind them and it's a very romantic picture.
