Historical Fiction Black Romance Passion 1920'S New York Mafia Dark Streets Book Cover Ideas with Love Smoke Woman'S Hand Man'S Hand 1920'S Table Bloody Rose Handgun

The book cover captures a dimly-lit 1920's setting with a dark mahogany table as the centerpiece. On the table lies a red rose with petals slightly smudged with blood, adding an air of tragic romance. To the right of the rose is a vintage 1920's handgun, its metallic surface gleaming faintly in the low light. A man's hand, wearing a classic suit sleeve and cufflink, hovers protectively over the gun, while a woman's elegantly gloved hand caresses the stem of the rose. The faint tendrils of smoke weave around the elements, blending into the background, which depicts a blurred New York street under moonlight with cobblestones shimmering in the drizzle. Subtle golden sparks, resembling champagne bubbles, float faintly from below the title into the scene, evoking a suggestion of the opulence of the era.

The title "Love Without Tragedy" is written across the upper third of the cover in a bold art deco font, gilded in gold. The author's name, "Shakira Roye," is positioned elegantly at the bottom in an italic serif font, whispering timeless elegance. Both are slightly embossed for a tactile feel.

The table scene occupies the bottom two-thirds of the cover. The title is placed at the top in gilded text, directly centered and framed by subtle geometric art deco shapes. The author's name is spaced evenly at the bottom in a contrasting white tone, balancing the composition. The background transitions smoothly from the mysterious dark street at the top towards the table's detailed scene below. Smoke rises diagonally across the frame.
