The Warlord's Captive Bride

Another romance novel commission, for a story called "The Warlord's Captive Bride." The hero is a Norman warlord, and the heroine is a Saxon lady, both wed in a marriage of convenience, after the rise of William the Conqueror and the Battle of Hastings in the 11th century. It's a fun, sexy story, and the clients loved it, I'm happy to say.  

So yeah, I was going for Classic 1980s Romance Novel Cover here, complete with clinch, brooding hero and blonde heroine with lots of hair (but with a teensy bit more historical accuracy than the usual paintings one saw in the '80s). Also, the random flowers! You cannot forget the random flowers.
