Unashamed (The)

The Unashamed front cover. The torsos of two women cover most of the space. One, a blonde with long, curly hair and bangs across her forehead, is to the right of the reader, sitting with her torso and her head leaned slightly to her right and forward, looking down with a slight smile and dressed in a white negligee. On her lap, a brunette with short hair leans over her head and right arm, her hand on the blonde's lap, which is covered in pink from the background. She is wearing a black negligee and her face is oriented toward the reader, turned up slightly towards her right and looking up with half-closed eyes. The scene is lit in diffused light that comes from the right.
A paperback original. This book was published as a mass-market paperback without a hardcover printing.

Twilight girl

Twilight Girl front cover: Over a red, textured background, a bed with white sheets is placed sideways to the reader, at the bottom of the image. A pillow is placed on it, to the right of the reader. A blond woman with short, curly hair sits on the bed facing the reader, her body at a three-quarter angle facing right. Her legs are crossed under the knees and are at a diagonal angle, bare feet pointing out toward the left of the image. She wears a white slip and a white, strapless brassiere. Her right hand is placed over her chest as she leans on her left arm, which stretches out toward the pillow. Her head is slightly tilted to her right, and she looks down with a serious expression on her face. Behind the bed stands a brunette with short hair and bangs, to the far right of the image. She is wearing a black negligee and stands at a three-quarter angle facing left of the image. Her right arm is bent at the elbow; forearm placed over her stomach. Her left arm is also bent, elbow on her right hand stretched-out fingers, and a cigarette is lit in her hand, fingers bent and pointing upwards. She is looking down at the blonde with a stern expression, head raised slightly. The scene is lit from the top left, casting a shadow to the side of the bed facing the reader.

Shockproof Sydney Skate

Shockproof Sydney Skate front cover. Against a white background, a totem-like wooden figurine is shown, with two figures carved on it. The top figure represents a woman, fully frontal, with brown, straight short hair parted in the middle. Her eyes are closed and she is wearing big, round sunglasses and a cigarette sticks out of her lips, pointing right. Her hands are carved directly under her face, and wrapped around to the front one above the other. The legs are also represented directly underneath as if she was sitting with her knees together. Under that carving, another one is shown, representing a young, freckled man with red hair. His eyes are also closed, tightly. He wears a blue suit with white shirt and red tie, hands touching one another at the front, and in a sitting kneel position, both knees touching at the front. The light looks natural and comes from the front-left of the image.

Soft sin (The)

The Soft Sin front cover. Towards the bottom right of the image, a brunette faces the reader, visible from the chest up. Her hair is curly and apparently tied to the back in a pony tail, bangs across her forehead. She is wearing a long-sleeved white blouse, unbuttoned, revealing part of her breasts and her neck. She looks straight at the reader with half-closed eyes and lips slightly parted. Behind her is a pink couch facing the reader. On it lays a blonde with her back to the reader, head toward the left. Her hair seems to be in disarray. Her left arm hangs over the edge of the couch, hand rested on a black tiled floor, palm-up. She is wearing a light blue dress and a bracelet on her left wrist. The scene is lit from the front.

Whisper their love

Whisper Their Love front cover. A brunette with short, curly hair is shown to the far right side of the image sitting down. Part of one of her legs is visible, showing the hem of a blue skirt and part of her shin. She is wearing a yellow, long-sleeved blouse which is buttoned at the cleavage level. Her face is slightly tilted to her right and to the back, and her gaze is relaxed and directed toward another woman, a redhead, who is sitting on the ground beside her with her body leaned over her lap and her right arm bent over the brunette's lap. Her eyes are green eyes and she is wearing a negligee with lace on its upper part, and straps. The brunette strokes her hair with her left hand, and the redhead's head is slightly curling over her right shoulder as she looks directly at the reader with a smile. To the left, in the background, a green night table is seen against a wall, with a table lamp on top which illuminates the wall in two places, over and under its shade. To the right of the image, around the brunette's left side, rays of light can be seen, seemingly coming through a window with blinds over it. The image is set over a yellow background seen at the top and the bottom of the cover.
