Illustrated cover with a mountain background with some snow but also some green and blue sunny skies. In the foreground and slightly to the right, is a good looking older white couple embracing. He has a black v-neck tee on and has gray short but slightly shaggy hair and is wearing aviator sunglasses on his head. She has dark long hair with bangs and shaved bits above her ears. She is built and is wearing a white long sleeved tee. He is facing the front and she is side on in his arms and they are smiling at each other.
