In my latest release, The Bashful Bride, Ester Croome is given a chance to marry her crush, the best actor in London, Arthur Bex. I started wondering what some of my author friends have as must-marry-crushes.
Naima Simone, the author of Scoring Off the Field, has a thing for Jason Momoa. She grins at me and says, “He’s my fated mate, but he needs to stop playing hard to get. Then we could get somewhere.” You go girl.
Tina Gabrielle, the author of How to Tempt an Earl, would totally love to be shipped with Chris Hemsworth or otherwise known as Thor. I think a woman likes to know her man can swing a hammer…well.
The fabulous pet-loving Angie Morgan, co-author of Sweet Home Highlander, loves Tom Hardy.
The endearing movie-ending-rewriting Tammy L. Bailey, author A Mistress for Penndrake will take Tom Hiddleston any day of the week.
As for me, I have been in love with Pierce Brosnan forever. He’s my all-time crush ,and more than likely I would drop everything if he proposed. You think he could look at me the way Prince Harry looks at Meghan?
Yes, that would be awesome.
Check out Vanessa’s new release The Bashful Bride!
A friend’s newspaper advertisement for a groom nets the most famous actor in London, Arthur Bex. Shy heiress Ester Croome proposes to elope with the handsome man, who she’s secretly loved for two years, in order to escape an impending engagement arranged by her overbearing family.
Trying to outlive the shadow of his villainous uncle, Bex needs to marry quickly—to a woman of good character. And smart, beautiful Ester fits the bill. But a harrowing trip to Gretna Green and dangerous abolition rallies prove to be a more treacherous stage than either imagined. Infatuation and a mutual love for Shakespeare might not be enough to bind a couple looking to outrun the chains and secrets of family and the past.
Each book in the Advertisements for Love series is a standalone story that can be enjoyed out of order.
