Description
It is hard to not desire a warrior
With his beauty so wild
His dark eyes so fierce
His body so strong
His kiss so bold
But it is the kindness
In his smile
The caress and caring
In his touch
And the gentle spirit
In his heart
That makes it so easy
To love a warrior.
Goodbye, Rob.
You will always be
My fantasy hero
Forever remembered
For your beauty
In mind, body, and spirit.
Credits: This is a tribute to my favorite Romance Cover Model, Rob Ashton, who passed away last year. He was loved by so many. This book cover was created in Photoshop CS, using a photo reference, painting techniques, Heavenly Hair brushes by Ravnheart/ToxicAngel, a background by The_Slinger, and Native American Scenics by pixels29.
Hope you enjoy.
