Book Cover Design Brief
I need a full cover design (front, back and spine) for Sir Grantham's Secret, the second romance novel in a series I'm writing.
This is a ROMANCE novel- The cover should be very feminine and appeal to female/romantic readers.
Since this is the second book in the series, the cover needs to look similar to the cover to the first book. I have attached it here. As you will see, the first book used roses and diamonds. For the second book the cover needs to use gold coins (guineas circa 1818, but general gold coins will do) and/or a treasure chest and ivy in a similar way. The background should NOT be beige and it should not be pink either. The font and placement of lettering should be the same.

Back Cover
Penniless widow Delia Pound receives a mysterious letter offering her the position of housekeeper at a dilapidated estate. But when she arrives, she is offered marriage to a dying man instead. Suddenly, Delia is the owner of Crow's Landing, the estate she had just been seeking employment at.
His Majesty’s spymaster Sir Horace Grantham accidentally kills his latest target in a tavern brawl. Now he must try to discover proof of the treasonous co-conspirators secreted somewhere in the estate of Crow's Landing.
Delia and Sir Grant have no choice but to work together to find the proof and stop the mysterious attacks on the estate. But locating the evidence proves to be almost as difficult as defending their hearts from the passion blazing between them.
I have also attached the layout template so you can see the size and proportions needed.
Thanks very much and I'm excited to see your designs.
