I’m thrilled to share the cover for Book 3 in my Texas Ever After series with you today. Reimagining classic fairy tales in an old west environment has been so much fun, and the covers that the design team at Bethany House has produced have been some of the best I’ve ever had. This one is no exception.
Cloaked in Beauty entwines “Little Red Riding Hood” and “Sleeping Beauty” for a romantic tale that explores the power of love to conquer even the darkest of nights. A Pinkerton hero, an heiress hidden away for her protection, a loving grandmother, a dragon-hearted villain, and an irascible wolf combine for a whirlwind adventure where danger lurks behind every tree.
Here it is!
What do you think?
I love that the wolf made the cover, and those little speckles of light add a magical touch that just enhances the fairy tale feel. The red dress and cloak bring plenty of drama, too. 🙂 Not only that, but this book will be releasing in December, and even though it is not a Christmas story, the red and green really work well for the timing of its arrival.

You might recall that last year I participated in a multi-author series with the ladies from the Petticoats & Pistols Blog. This week, we are celebrating the one-year anniversary of the series with a huge sale. Every book in the series is on sale for only $0.99 each, including In Her Sights. Several of the books are on sale through April 10, but a handful of them (including mine) are only discounted through April 7, so grab your copies today.

Wow, Karen. It’s breathtaking!
They did such a great job with it, didn’t they? I was so pleased!
They’re all beautiful but I think Cloaked in Beauty is stunning. Can’t wait to read this one!
Thanks, Kelly. I think Cloaked has the most fairy tale feel to the cover design.
What a fun concept to combine the essence of fairy tales with a western environment!
Thanks, Suzanne. This has been a really fun series to write. 🙂
This cover is amazing! Looking forward to this story.
Thank you, Betty. Coming soon . . . 🙂
The covers for this series have been so great! I’m reading If the Boot Fits right now–and loving it! Can’t wait for Cloaked in Beauty! 🙂
Yay! So glad you are enjoying Ash and Samantha’s story, D’Ann. 🙂
I didn’t think Fairest of Heart could be beat (Disney Snow White hat-tip), but I’ll have to go with Cloaked in Beauty for my favorite now.
I’m leaning that way, too, though I love them all. 🙂
The new cover is lovely, Karen! A red cloak on a cover makes such a beautiful and intriguing statement.
Thanks, Becky. I really love the drama the red adds to the cover. And the hood covering her face projects a bit of mystery and danger that play out in the story as well.
My favorite cover is ALL of them! They are beautifully done. You have a great design team working for you, Karen! I can’t wait to read Cloaked In Beauty!!!
I couldn’t agree more, Gena. I feel so blessed to have these talented artists working on my books. If it was left to me, they’d be a disaster. Ha!
Lovely cover! I look forward to reading it when it becomes available at the library.
For those who’ve read “If the Boot Fits,” the bonus excerpt of the forthcoming 3rd book was a great sneak peek of what’s to come.
So glad you enjoyed the little sneak peek, Elisa! 🙂
My favorite cover is If the Boot Fits. Blue has always been my favorite color & her dress is such a pretty shade of blue. They all look beautiful together!! I’ve already preordered Cloaked in Beauty. 🙂
These are all brilliant covers!!
