it’s here!! the rana look with the mclean stevenson and sandra brown cover! after the initial betrayal of receiving the 2003 edition instead of the 1986 edition in the mail! probably there really isn’t a story here, but I’m so curious about why this exists & how it happened… in the fated mates podcast interview with sandra brown, sarah maclean asks her, and she’s basically like, oh yeah, that. I don’t remember. 🤷🏻‍♀️ !!! !!

also. I must say. truly wild choice to select mclean stevenson in ‘86 as the cover model for this book. fully assumed that the rana look is about, like, a silver fox widowed ranch owner falling for a world-weary model looking to get away from the industry and city life. however. the hero is actually a buff built star quarterback in his early 30s with curly dark hair and an irresistible charm. I had to read sexy football star trent gamble as henry blake’s fantasy of himself as leading man lol.
