When the nation pictures Jackie Kennedy Onassis these days, it is often the image of the grieving First Lady that first springs to mind, head downcast, her pink Chanel suit stained by the blood of her murdered husband.

Or perhaps it's a vision of the cool, impeccably dressed WASP: all oversized bug-eye sunglasses, Hermes scarves, Cartier Tank watch and Oleg Cassini suits.

But in his newly published, posthumous memoir, architect John Carl Warnecke paints a portrait of the beloved icon that reveals an unexpectedly playful – and downright sexy – side few were lucky enough to see.

Jackie and Warnecke met when he was chosen to design Lafayette Square, the celebrated seven-acre public park in Washington DC, in 1962.

But it wasn't until the following year, after the president was assassinated in Texas, that they grew closer, working together to create JFK's eternal flame memorial at Arlington.

They didn't act on their feelings, he says, until the fall of 1964. But things moved fast, and by the end of that year, they were so in love, they were already discussing the prospect of marriage.

'It could not be avoided,' he wrote. 'There was no doubt in Jackie's mind that we should get married, and I was enough in love to be open to it. The question was when?'

However, Bobby Kennedy disapproved of the romance – or at least the timing of it.
