A Prayer for Love

A Prayer for Love is #98 in the Pink Collection and was published in November 2012. Dalma Wickham, trying to leave Athen for England, learns that the boat won't allow her dog on board! In despair, she hides in a yacht owned by an Englishman, hoping that he'll convey her home. He is the Earl of Ravenscraig and on a mission to free a girl from white slave traders!

This cover is an original, as far as I can tell. It's very pretty with our heroine wearing a black lace dress. I like her short, sassy haircut, too! The hero is elegant in modern evening wear, even though this story is set in 1880!
