Journey to fulfillment

Journey to Fulfillment front cover. The cover art is made up of text and solid colour fields. The title is shown in large, green letters, distributed diagonally across the center of the cover. Below the title, and also diagonally distributed, more letters, in a different and smaller font but also green, name the author of the book. At the top left, and also in a different font, more small green letters hint on the topic of the story. At the very bottom, another set of green, small letters describes the story as the first in a series. There is also a logo at the top right, seemingly of the publishing house or imprint. The background is a solid peach framed within a wide, green margin that matches the colour of the text.

Loving and the daring (The)

The Loving and the Daring front cover. To the left of the image, a woman, redhead, is shown descending the steps of a stone stairway with a wrought iron railing. She wears a green, knee-high skirt, an orange-red cardigan, and brown, high heel shoes. Her left hand is on the railing, her right arm is stretched over her right side. Her eyes are slightly closed and look toward another woman, whose face and shoulders are seen in the foreground, to the bottom-right of the image. She is a brunette with short, curly hair. Her face is heavily made up and partly faces the reader, slightly bent towards the right bottom corner of the image. Her eyes are slightly closed and look back toward the woman on the stairway but do not look straight at her. Her lips are slightly parted and her eyebrows appear raised. She seems to be wearing an off-shoulders gold and black-trimmed gown, and earrings. The scene is lit from the top left.

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.

Girls in 3-B (The)

The Girls in 3-B front cover. Three women form a triangle inside what looks to be the bedroom of a city apartment. One, a blonde, stands in the background facing the reader, leaning against a wall beside a window. Her hair is shoulder-length and she is holding a cigarette in her right hand. Her right arm is fully extended downward and she grips it, with her right hand, at the elbow. She is wearing an orange jacket, unbuttoned, a brown skirt, and low heels stilettos. Her left leg is slightly bent, with the foot to her side, pointing out. She looks down to her left at another woman, a brunette with short hair, who sits on a bed with red and white undone sheets, putting on a stocking on her left leg. She sits in full profile, facing left of the image, and is wearing a black negligee and low heel stilettos on her right foot. The right leg shows a stocking at mid-thigh, and the left foot is bare. A third woman, also a brunette, stands with her back to the reader on the forefront left of the image. She wears a black slip and looks as if she is about to take off a blue blouse. Her hair is long and reaches the middle of her back, part of which is exposed. She too is looking at the brunette. There is a side table in the background, with a potted plant on top, and a pair of slippers on the ground. The scene is lit from the front right.

Corruption of innocence (The)

The Corruption of Innocence front cover. A redhead is sitting on a black leather executive chair in the center of the image. Her hair is long and loose, and she has bangs above her eyebrows. She is sitting on her left leg, which folds fully under her body and towards her right. Her right leg is above it, folded in the same direction; the top of her bare foot can be seen facing the reader. She is is slightly leaned over, placing her weight on her extended left arm and her hand, which is supported on the seat of the chair. Her right arm is bent at the elbow and her palm faces her, to the side of her face and in her hair. She looks straight at the reader with her head tilted forward and to her right, her eyes open, and a smile on her lips. She is wearing a white brassiere whose left strap hangs over her elbow, and what appears to be a white slip pulled up to reveal her thighs, knees, and right calf. The seat looks to be close to the floor. There is light on her, coming from the left of the reader, and it is also seen reflected behind her. Everything else is dark and merging with a black background.

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.

Charlene's aunt

Charlene's Aunt front cover. Over a white background with text at top third is a smaller image, underneath. It is a monochromatic drawing in sepia / reddish brown showing the busts of two women. The one on the right faces the reader, with her head, turned to her right and upwards, eyes closed and lips parted. She is wearing a ruffled blouse with a high collar, and her hair is long. Her right cheek is pressed against the right cheek of another woman whom she embraces, her right hand wrapping the back of her head. The other woman is in profile, facing the first woman, her torso naked. Her face is turned to her left into the other woman's right shoulder, and her right arm is stretched downwards. Her hair is also long. Above them is an ornamented frame in an Art Nouveau style.
