Fever in the sun

Fever in the Sun front cover. A redhead woman is shown lying stretched on her back on a wicker lounger, diagonally filling the center of the image. She is wearing a pink negligee which is open on both sides, exposing her cupped-brassieres and panties. She is wearing a pink ribbon on her hair. Her face is turned toward her left and towards the reader, but her eyes focus on a man sitting at the edge of the lounger to her right and who leans over, looking directly at her, his right-hand firm over her on the seat of the lounger, and his left hand placed against the back of the chair. He is dressed in brown pants, a belt, and a purple, long-sleeved shirt with green stripes. The woman has her right hand around his neck. There is a plant on the ground, on the foreground, similar to the taro or elephant's ear plant. The background is a solid red, and there are four yellow looped lines around the cover's title toward the top left. The scene is lit from the front, top.

Duet in darkness

Duet in Darkness front cover: Two women are displayed in an indoors setting. One of them, a black woman with short, straight black hair, sits on the wooden floor in a white negligee. Her left side faces the reader, and she sits with her left leg bent at the knee and turned outward toward her back, her foot bare. Her left hand is posed on her left calf and has a ring on its ring finger. Her right hand touches the edge of a blue and black cushioned sofa to her right. Her head is turned sharply to her left, and she looks straight out at the reader with a serious expression on her face. In the background, beside her on the sofa, a redhead with straight hair to her shoulder sits, with both legs folded atop the seat, feet facing right of the image. She is wearing a short, denim skirt and a brown, sleeveless blouse with buttons at the front and a V-neck. Her left hand is blocked by the figure who sits on the floor, and her right hand is holding a cigarette, elbow rested on the back of the chair. She is almost facing the reader; her body slightly twisted to her right. Her head faces the reader, but her sight is directed toward the other woman, with a serious expression. The scene is lit with natural light coming slightly from the left, casting a shadow of the black woman on the sofa and on the brick wall in the background.
