And now something altogether different...

Investigative journalist, Amber Blake, is a little person bent on payback for the death of her average-sized twin sister. Enlisted by her former partner and estranged husband, Evan, she poses as a counselor in an abortion clinic to expose the doctor responsible for fetal harvesting. As a Christian, she struggles with concealing her beliefs to maintain her cover, while the doctor's romantic overtures tumble her stomach. Amber agrees to date him for the sake of the story . . . but nothing prepares her for what's behind a mysterious door in his office. coming soon from author, Deborah Piccurelli.

Two cover sketches: the first, (Amber) looks too young, so we changed

her hairstyle and made her face more angular. The second sketch was a bit too graphic in style so finished are is a combination of textures and some graphic elements.
