Secrets of the Heart: Volume One

The cover of this book depicts a man and woman standing in a darkened tavern room. The man is hooded and cloaked, though parts of his fine outfit are visible to hint that he is far nobler than his surroundings. The woman before him, standing demurely, is dressed in a simple dress and apron. Her hair is tangled, and a smudge dirties her cheek. Even so, she is beautiful and the disguised nobleman appears quite smitten with her.
