Book Cover Design Brief

I require two book covers in time for the release of my second novel "Teaching Tom". My first novel "Teaching Tori" is in need for a book cover update at the same time. The two books are a series, but can be read as stand alone novels. The cover design should be similar.

Here it the blurb for "Teaching Tori"
30-year old teacher Tori Munro has put up with her principal’s bullying for so long, she is surprised when Tom, a visiting adviser to her school, turns into an ally she doesn’t really want.
Despite her efforts to keep him at an arm’s length, he manages to gain her trust and a tender relationship starts to form.
A future with Tom looks certain until Tori walks away after a simple misunderstanding. When she recognises her mistake, it is too late to win him back.
After weeks of misery, Tori takes to the hills of Central Otago to clear her head. High up in the tussock country she loves so much, she realises that it is time to move on. The decision comes as a relief, but a sudden weather change gives Tori little time to dwell on it.
Will Tori ever make it home safely to put it into action? And will Tom ever find out what happened to her?

Blurb "Teaching Tom"
Tom has everything he ever wanted, thanks to Tori. In the two years since he conquered her heart, their love has grown to the point where Tom has to regularly pinch himself to check if he’s living a dream too good to be true.
But when tragedy strikes Tom’s family, the dream soon turns into a nightmare. Tom makes a couple of bad decisions that will have disastrous consequences. The love that he and Tori believed was unshakeable becomes severely tested. Ravaged by guilt and grief, and unable to meet the ever-increasing needs of his family, Tom reaches out to the person he loves the most. But Tori is fighting her own demons, unwilling to forgive him. When she discovers some painful truths about her beloved late mother, her own decisions seem so much harder to follow through.
As both try to find their own way to heal from their hurt, one question remains unanswered – is the rift that’s grown between them too big to overcome?

Both novels are set in New Zealand.
