Howdy, romance readers! I’m Macy Beckett, author of the Sultry Springs trilogy, and I’m here to share the new-and-improved cover for the third book in my series, SURRENDER TO SULTRY. This is Colton’s story—the wild-as-weeds deputy you met in book two, where he starred in the bawdy reality show, Sex in the Sticks. Colt’s the county sheriff now, and he’s a changed man hoping for a second chance with his first love, Leah McMahon.
Here’s the original cover:
The design team had hoped vibrant fall colors would help the book stand out on the shelf. But between the battling hues of leaves, water, grass, and text, it’s overwhelming. And then there’s the couple. They look nothing like Colt (a long-haired Scots-Irish Cherokee) and Leah, (a petite blonde). It also doesn’t match the general look of the first two covers. So when the publisher asked the team to create something new, I was thrilled.
Which leads us to the final cover…
Isn’t that easier on the eyes, not to mention more consistent with the first two books? And check out that pair of lovers—they could really be Colton and Leah!
I think this is an improvement. What do you say?

I like the new cover. It reminds me of something from Jill Shalvis’ Lucky Harbor series which I love.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by Sue.
DeleteIt's the new cover pretty? I can't wait to read Colt's story. I fell in love with him in Sultry with a Twist.
Thanks for the cover love, Sue! I enjoy Jill Shalvis's romances, so I'm tickled that this image reminds you of her series.
