hyper-realistic book cover photograph, [woman's hand with long manicured nails / man in luxury suit silhouette / female figure from behind] holding [torn $100 bill / gold chain necklace / car keys / single rose], [black Rolls-Royce / black Escalade / black Bentley] parked on rain-slicked city street at dusk, [Atlanta skyline / Chicago skyline / Houston skyline / Detroit skyline] in background, dramatic storm clouds with warm golden-orange light breaking through, wet pavement reflecting city lights, cinematic depth of field, moody atmospheric lighting, photorealistic composite --ar 2:3 --style raw --stylize 80

Tips:
• Match the foreground prop to your theme: torn money = betrayal/wealth, keys = a new chapter, roses = love and loss, a gun = danger, an envelope = secrets
• Name a real landmark for instant city identity: "CNN Center Atlanta skyline", "Chicago Willis Tower at dusk", "Houston highway overpass"
• Add "steam rising from street vents" or "rain streaks catching headlights" for cold-weather atmosphere
• For a solo female lead, drop the car: try "Black woman standing on penthouse rooftop edge, city lights below"
• Adjust --stylize: lower (40-60) for straight photographic realism; higher (120+) if you want a more designed cinematic composite feel
