Emma Lange: The Unwavering Miss Winslow

The Unwavering Miss Winslow was published in September 1989. Jessica Winslow was beautiful but only a paid companion, so her admirers were persistent and didn't offer marriage. She was on the verge of accepting a dull, but respectable minister when the dashing Earl of Roxham floated into her sphere!

Allan Kass creates an intricate cover for this book. I love the heroine's braided hair. Her simple dress and shawl are elegant, but fitting for a companion. The hero wears an unusual shade of blue for his jacket which suit his coloring. I like the elegant features of this room; Allan always adds the extra detail!

Emma Lange has written other titles for Signet that weren't illustrated by Allan Kass.

Emma Lange: The Reforming of Lord Roth

The Reforming of Lord Roth was published by Signet in December 1990 and written by Emma Lange. Isabella Ramsey was a country miss whose biggest challenge was to keep her household together until she met the worldly Marquess of Roth and realized how ignorant she was!

I like this cover by Allan Kass of our couple at a ball.  Our heroine is prettily dressed for the occasion. I like the combination of green and gold with her red hair. The hero is dashing in formal wear and it's always interesting to see extra couples in Allan's covers.

Emma Lange: The Irish Rake

The Irish Rake is a May 1996 Signet publication for their Regency Romance line and written by author Emma Lange. Miss Gillian Edwards was engaged to staid Lord Lionel but she only had eyes for the rakish Marquess of Clare!

This is such a beautiful cover by Allan Kass! I love the outdoor setting and it looks so cool and idyllic. Our hero is definitely dashing and the heroine very pretty in her purple riding dress. It seems as if they've come to an understanding while standing in this sylvan area.

Emma Lange: Exeter's Daughter

Exeter's Daughter by Emma Lange was published for Signet's Regency Romance line in September 1995. Lady Marissa Portemaine was a duke's daughter who was in disgrace and her family decided to send her to the one person who wouldn't put up with her shenanigans: Lord Tristan Lynton!

We see the jagged edges of the cliffs in this cover by Allan Kass. This is one of the few where the hero's head seems to be out of sync, but I think it's the white neckcloth collar creating an illusion. It's very rare to see this on a Kass cover. The heroine is pretty but doesn't look as spirited as she is described. I like the scenic background which gives us the impression of a lonely country.

Emma Lange: Brighton Intrigue

Brighton Intrigue by Emma Lange was published in January 1989 by Signet. Ariane Bennington is worried that the marquess of Chatham is playing a game with her because of the lovely Cecily Ashton, who is his ideal match in this dance of love.

This is an older cover by Allan Kass but I like the setting by the sea. Both our hero and heroine have been riding and it looks as if they are taking a stroll while admiring the scenery. I like the shades of blue in the water and sky. The hero's riding coat looks very expensive and the heroine's dress of velvet looks warm.
