The model on the cover of Lady Wynwood’s Spies, volume 5: Prisoner is Laura. Her real name is Tanya, and if you’d like, you can see the original stock photo here.
I chose this stock photo because I thought Tanya looked mature enough in this particular photo to be Lady Wynwood. She’s only 40 years old in the story, after all.
Then my cover designer did some woo-woo magic with Adobe Photoshop and aged her a little more so that she looked closer to 40 than 30. She also added the streak of white at Laura’s left temple.
The house in the background is actually a picture I took on a trip to England. It is Breadsall Priory in Derbyshire, which is now a country club.
When I was writing the hunting lodge in the book, I pictured it as a smaller version of Breadsall Priory, and I set it in the middle of a forest instead of the priory’s lush grounds.
I think my cover designer did a great job!
