Vanessa Brooks's Blog: The Laird's Bride

A man who could melt the snow and your heart...

How do you heal when you're still running from what broke you?

Fleeing from a past so painful she's hidden the truth of it deep in her subconscious, British-born Izzy Gardner makes her way to the United States in search of a new beginning. That's the plan, anyway, until her plane goes down in the wilds of New Hampshire.

Now she's trapped in a cabin, surrounded by acres of nothing but snow and trees, completely at the mercy of the most gorgeous man she's ever laid eyes on. A man determined to secure her obedience at any cost—or, specifically, at the cost of a hot bottom for Izzy.

Before she knows it, she's calling him Daddy and her pleas for mercy and pleasure echo into the snowy nights.

But Izzy isn't the only one harboring secrets...
When she finally uncovers what Blake's been hiding, it puts not only their future, but their very lives at risk.

I want to thank everyone who left a review or a rating for Claimed By Daddy. I know a lot of reviews asked about the other Penny in the dimension swap and now her story is about to go live!
Here is a little snippet from her story: Copyright © 2020 by Stormy Night Publications and Vanessa Brooks:

The sound of a cough caused her to lift her head.
It was him. Dressed in an expensively cut dark suit worn with a crisp white shirt and dark patterned tie. Those incredible blue eyes met hers.
She felt the lift of her lips pull outward into a radiant smile. Daddy!
“Good morning, Miss, er, East?” he asked.
This wasn’t how it was meant to be. He was supposed to recognise her, throw open his arms and scold her, demanding to know where the hell she’d been. His image fragmented through the prism of tears that flooded her eyes.
“West,” she corrected, still hoping for his recognition.
“This way,” he said politely, gesturing to the open door of his office. She rose and preceded him into a large well-appointed room.
He waved her to a chair and sat opposite her with a coffee table between them. His large desk stood on the opposite side of the office.
“Don’t you remember me at all?” she burst out, unable to stop herself. Her repressed tears overflowed onto her cheeks.
He frowned. “Should I?” he asked, his brow wrinkled, perplexed.
Yes, it’s me!
Cover reveal coming soon!

Book 2 of - Claimed By Daddy - is releasing soon!
This is the other Penny's story in the dimension swap.
We join Penny in her confusing arrival at Heathrow London where she is expecting her husband David to collect her; unaware that she has switched into an alternate life.
I've really had fun writing these two very different tales and I am so pleased my readers have enjoyed book one so much.

Bought By The Buccaneer - By Vanessa Brooks
A novella:

I could resist him. I will fight him... Do I really want to?

Florence seeks adventure. She has no desire to marry a bucolic country squire, and live out her life under the boring strictures of English society. Restless and bored, she craves excitement. When Florence receives an unexpected offer which will take her to foreign climes, she accepts. On arrival in Jamaica, headstrong and wilful, she evades her chaperone and finds herself kidnapped.
Strong in the face of adversity, Florence soon discovers you can have too much of a good thing when she is brought face to face with the handsome buccaneer who purchased her!
WARNING: This steamy tale contains old fashioned discipline as befits the era.
