A high-heat MM romantic suspense novel cover created for author Zephyr Dixin. This project explores the tension between forbidden desire and moral conflict, visually capturing the emotional stakes and sultry undertones of the story.
The design features two central male characters: a conflicted older priest and a younger, rebellious handyman. Set against a deep red and black candlelit background with gothic flourishes and dripping roses, the atmosphere evokes a steamy, emotionally charged mood. Typography plays a major role here—bold red gothic fonts heighten the drama, while a tagline adds narrative depth.
