He's inherited billions, but he must leave his home and family to claim it.
She's no longer a captive, yet will she ever be free?

Austin Bridger is struggling to keep his seaplane business afloat and help his ailing mother. When his father, who never acknowledged his existence, dies, he leaves his billions to Austin and his two half brothers. The catch? To receive the inheritance, they must all live on his father's Montana ranch for a year. To Austin, the money's tainted, but because he desperately needs every dime, he has no choice but to leave Seattle.

Carly Vance was a student in veterinary school when her dream was shattered. Abducted from a diner in her small town, she was held captive on a South Pacific island for three years. Now she's home, but her scars run deep. Trying to reclaim her life, she bravely takes a job in Bridger Ranch's stables.

Sparks fly when Carly crosses paths with Austin, but they both hold secrets--secrets that could keep them apart forever.

They're delectably filthy novels that occasionally go into fantasy territory. It's pure escapism, along with a number of extremely attractive, very alpha cowboys. Vanessa enjoys the chaos of having two boys, is trying to figure out how many meals she can make with a pressure cooker, and teaches a really good karate class when she's not writing. She considers herself to be astonishingly typical, extremely shy, and fairly vanilla, which does not explain her steamy writings and her infatuation with cowboys, ideally multiple at a time.

She lives in the Wild West, where she has access to an infinite supply of'research' material. Vanessa Vale's website is vanessavaleauthor.com, and you can follow her on Twitter at @iamvanessavale or on Facebook at facebook.com/vanessavaleauthor.
