Mills & Boon discovers torture; calls it unconditional love

A vintage Mills & Boon romance novel cover (#178) featuring a period drama scene with three figures in historical clothing standing in a rural landscape. The title 'Tortured in the Name of God's Unconditional Love' creates jarring cognitive dissonance with the gentle romance genre aesthetic. The cover art shows a woman in center with two men, rendered in soft watercolor tones. Extracted text: Mills & Boon 178 TORTURED IN THE NAME OF GOD'S UNCONDITIONAL LOVE Sibyl Devlin
