Cover Reveal - The Darkest Joy

We are so excited to be able to bring to you the cover reveal for Marata Eros's THE DARKEST JOY which releases on  February 18th 2014.

I'm not a big New Adult reader, nor am I much for romance novels. That being said, this cover looks like the couple is laying on a bed and someone Photoshopped clouds in behind them. I'm not sure what the clouds are supposed to signify? Maybe a difficult romance. A romance that was never meant to be? I also don't necessarily get the heat that I imagine should be portrayed in this cover. It looks like too sweet of an embrace, yet the way they are dressed (the man still has pants on and the woman isn't wearing a top, maybe no bottoms either) I feel like the woman should be yanking at the man's hair, clawing at his back...

Tell me what you think?

The Darkest Joy (The Darkest Joy)
By Marata Eros
Expected publication: February 18, 2014
Genre: New Age Romance

A sexy and poignant new adult novel from New York Times bestseller Marata Eros, about two lost souls who find each other in the wake of tragedy, only to learn that love may not be enough to heal the wounds of a dark and tortured past...

Twenty year-old Brooke Starr has escaped the aftermath of a brutal tragedy by abandoning her music studies and moving north to take a summer position as a part-time deck hand on a deep-sea fishing boat. When her survivor’s guilt becomes unbearable, Brooke realizes there's only one thing she can do to finally erase the pain.

Deep sea fisherman, Chance Taylor, has just wrapped his guitar set at the local saloon when he sees the silhouette of a young woman in repose, the full moon highlighting her shadow as she plummets from a pier too high for diving... into water too cold to survive. Without thinking, he plunges in after her, saving Brooke from drowning.

As Chance works to save her from her own emotional fragility, Brooke finally begins to learn how to save herself. But when their chemistry begins to consume them, Brooke withdraws. She’s determined to be the master of her own destiny... until the past catches up with her in a cataclysmic plan so dark, so final... it threatens their love and their very lives.
