Today, Book Riot is hosting the cover reveal! The cover artist\/designer is Tal Goretsky.

It didn\u2019t stick. She didn\u2019t like basket weaving. Or having roommates. The pet goat her friends adopted didn\u2019t help matters, either. When she takes a big job to catch an infamous pirate, she realizes too late that she\u2019s been asked to <em>kill<\/em> the pirate\u2014or that the king of the realm will kill <em>her<\/em>. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-family:Helvetica,Arial;font-size:17px;line-height:25px;\">But Rosa isn\u2019t a killer, the pirate is really, <em>really<\/em> hot, and the crew quickly makes Rosa feel like family. Alongside her trusty-but-dumb pet crow, Rosa must decide whether to ignore her newfound feelings and carry out her job, or put aside her mercenary days and follow her heart into piracy.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-family:Helvetica,Arial;font-size:17px;line-height:25px;\"><strong>Has it been exciting to see your characters come to life on the <em>Bromantasy<\/em> and<em> Situationship<\/em> jackets? What has been your favorite part of that process?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-family:Helvetica,Arial;font-size:17px;line-height:25px;\">I am OBSESSED with the beautiful covers, and can\u2019t wait to see the two covers together in person! <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-family:Helvetica,Arial;font-size:17px;line-height:25px;\">I adored the silly, chaotic <em>Bromantasy<\/em> cover so much (and the first-edition sprayed edges!!), and it was hard to imagine ever loving a cover more. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-family:Helvetica,Arial;font-size:17px;line-height:25px;\">Then, of course, my incredible team at Putnam pulled together something that made me audibly gasp. I LOVE\u00a0Gr\u00e1inne\u2019s depiction, and that it includes so many little details (like her scars), I am delighted by Rosa\u2019s look of petulant dismay, and having Ignoto (the pet crow) front and center is perfect. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-family:Helvetica,Arial;font-size:17px;line-height:25px;\">It\u2019s been such a gift to have not one, but two covers where my characters have come to life. Tal Goretsky is the fantastic art director behind the magic, and I\u2019m so thrilled to have this type of magic twice over.
