Joan Wolf: Lord Richard's Daughter

Lord Richard's Daughter by Joan Wolf was published in July 1983 by Signet for its regency romance line. It's the story of Julianne who comes back from deepest Africa to announce her father's mysterious death and was about to marry until she met her rescuer again!

Allan Kass illustrates a romantic cover by showing the hero and heroine outside a building. It's an intimate embrace and gives the impression that the couple know each other well. I like her dress which hints at an earlier Georgian style. The hero is less visible but gives us a hint of strength and gentleness.
