My guess is that it's a painting for a romance novel cover (though it might be Dynamo and Kitten in a plot twist in the classic
Thunder Agents). I have no idea who did it or what book it is for, but that babe is hot on a stick. The artist is terrific. Do real people actually look that good ever? This is huge, 20" by 32", and the couple are about half scale. "Love's Throbbing Thighs" is my generic title for a romance novel. If anyone knows anything about this, please tell me.
Mystery solved, this is for Parker and the Gypsy, a Harlequin Treasury Silhouette Desire book by Susan Collins from 1997. The Ebook blurb quotes it as follows:
"It was one of those days when life arrives on your doorstep, unannounced. A day full of weak coffee and bourbon-colored memories. A day, like every other. Until she walked in the door…"
Private Investigator Mike Parker was too cynical to believe in love. And when free-spirited Sara Holyfield showed up, requesting help with a strange missing-persons case, his first instinct was to show her the door. But something about Sara drew him in. Maybe it was her innocent face—or her not-so-innocent body. Or maybe it was the fact that Mike's archenemy had told him to stay away.
But whatever the cause, Mike suddenly found himself faced with the biggest assignment of his career —protecting his wayward heart.
Move over Sam Spade! So the blonde is the gypsy? Love's Throbbing Thighs is a better ttitle.
