Romance Cover Scene

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.

Picture the cover of a romance novel. Right now. You already know what I'm talking about. Fabio or some other shirtless man with a Heroic Build and long hair, with a buxom woman in his arms/wrapped behind him/within torso's reach, a colorful sunset or Regency-era building behind them..

Compare Leg Cling.
