Cover Reveal for Every Rose that Blooms
Last week, I announced that my next writing project would be the third book of my Peace Country Romance series, Every Rose that Blooms.
Well, since Iβm highly motivated by visual art (and creating it is one of my hobbies), I spent my βdown timeβ towards the end of the week creating the cover. Which, since Iβm not the type of person who draws out the hype, either, I present to you now.
With every cover I make, I learn things, and this time was no exception. I originally had the flower shop in the background taking up so much space. It was super distracting from the couple and made the whole cover feel very cluttered.
First rough draft of the cover for Every Rose that Blooms.
I discovered that making the flower shop and river town background smaller made a huge difference.
Then, I experimented with a bunch of different colours for the sky.
Pink sky version.
Coral sky version.
Dark blue and peach sky version.
In the end, I went back to the original brilliant blue with a rosy pink and gold sunset glow at the horizon. This was just the tweak it needed to make this cover pop.
Final version of the cover for Every Rose that Blooms (Peace Country Romance Book 3), with a sweet Caucasian couple in love in front of a rose-filled flower shop on a small northern Alberta river town street in early spring.
And hereβs a little about this book:
About Every Rose that Blooms
Sometimes the love you long for blooms right before your eyes.
Madeleine Kennedy has always dreamed of owning the flower shop she manages. But with her momβs health concerns and the shop barely staying afloat, those aspirations feel more distant every day. Then her handsomest customer offers an unexpected lifeline that could change everythingβif she can get her shy artist friend and his surprise hit floral creations on board.
Luke Anderson would love to turn his side art hustle into a full-time business, but taking the leap feels as daunting as telling Maddie how he truly feels. When she proposes a creative partnership backed by an angel investor, he thinks heβll finally get his opportunity. If only that impossibly good-looking doctor wasnβt always in the way.
But as their budding venture grows into something more, a Kennedy family crisis and the discovery that their silent partner is Lukeβs charming rival put everything theyβve built at risk. With Luke and Maddieβs dreams and hearts on the line, will Luke take the chance and fight for their blossoming love?
Every Rose that Blooms is the third standalone title in the clean and sweet Peace Country Romance series. If you crave pining heroes, determined heroines, and swoony Valentineβs vibes, get ready to fall in love with a small-town romance that will make you believe in happily ever afters.
P. S. Now that the cover is finished, Iβll soon start putting up early access chapters for Books and Tea League members. Keep an eye out for those!
