The jacket front illustration shows an Afro-Caribbean man, his bare back lined with red lash marks. He faces a lighter-skinned woman wearing a decolletage period gown and holding a parasol; the scene is ambiguous if expectant.

Notes:
Eileen Walton did the jacket front illustration. A type of cover art popular especially for historical novels of the type that came to be known in this period as bodice rippers. This particular cover is in that genre and plays on racial and gender themes that recur in the jacket art of the Carberry Collection.
