Jason Vanderholt, Hollywood's hottest actor, falls head over heels for everygirl, Chloe Winters, who hasn't gotten around to watching most of his movies. She becomes the woman every other woman in America is dying to be, but it just isn't her fairytale.

Someone Else's Fairytale

If there’s one thing Madison Lukas understands, it’s pain. The pain she feels when her mother ignores her completely. The pain her best friend endures as her parents starve her as punishment. The pain of a dangerous boy whose mother has to be carried away by law enforcement on a regular basis. She gets it. She feels the pain of others as if it were her own. But when a mysterious man claiming to be her long lost brother appears with promises of relieving her suffering, trusting him could reveal more truths than Madison is ready for. Because the truth can hurt, too.

Castles on the Sand

A Safe Space ist ein Spin-off der 'Nicht mein Märchen'-Reihe. Jeder braucht einen sicheren Ort. Für Lizzie Warner war dieser Ort immer vor der Kamera bei ihrer Hit-Sendung, oder auf der Bühne vor ausverkauften Konzerthallen. Seit sie sich erinnern kann, ist sie ein Star, aber das ändert sich bald vielleicht. Sie ist Neunzehn. Ihre Teenie-Fernsehshow wurde abgesetzt und jetzt spielt sie die Hauptrolle in einer Krimiserie - doch ist die Welt so weit, sie ernst zu nehmen, oder wird sie immer das Image der süßen Teenagerin haben? Ihr Sender hat sich entschieden, die Sache groß aufzubauen und hat Millionen von Dollar in eine Werbekampagne für ihre Sendung investiert. Geld, bei dem sie sich nicht sicher ist, dass sie es wieder einspielen kann. Ihr Co-Star kann sie nicht leiden, und das Skript der Show ist allerhöchstens mittelmäßig. Der einzige Grund, aus dem Lizzie dieses Jobangebot überhaupt erst angenommen hat, ist ihre finanziell brenzlige Lage - sie ist das Opfer von jahrelangem Missmanagement ihrer Finanzen. Und dann gibt es noch Devon, den Personal Trainer in Lizzies Fitnessstudio. Arrogant und grob, ist er der letzte Typ, den sie attraktiv finden sollte, aber sie ist trotzdem hoffnungslos in ihn verknallt – und er scheint auch nicht abgeneigt. Tatsächlich ist er manchmal sogar sehr süß zu ihr. Wäre er doch bloß kein unzähmbarer Bad Boy, der Frauen benutzt und wegwirft, als wäre es nichts. Obwohl Lizzies Freunde sie davor warnen, sich mit ihm einzulassen, ist er der einzige, der kreieren kann, was sie so dringend braucht: Einen sicheren Ort. Aber kann sie ihn von seiner jahrelangen Gewohnheit abbringen, Frauen nur auszunutzen? Alle Teile der "Nicht mein Märchen" - Reihe: 1. Nicht mein Märchen (Buch 1) 2. Prinzessin in Not (Buch 2) 3.

A Safe Space

Chloe has finished her masters degree and taken a job as a forensic scientist back in her home town of Albuquerque, New Mexico, only the press will not leave her alone. They follow her to crime scenes and report on her every move, eager to show that her marriage to Hollywood A-lister, Jason Vanderholt, is on the brink of collapse. Millions of fans who dream of their own celebrity romance with him want this more than anything. This scrutiny comes at a particularly bad time as Chloe's first case is a crime against a child roughly the same age that Chloe was when she survived a homicide attempt. Now that she sees the case from an adult's perspective, she realizes it's much harder than she ever dreamed. It's even worse for Jason, who is two steps removed from the crime. He must watch and try to support his wife as she battles with past demons and tries to keep up with a nameless suspect who evades identification and capture. Never has Jason been more frustrated with his job, its frivolities, and its lack of connection to the real world. When he storms off the set of his latest movie, the press goes wild with conjecture. Perhaps he never was anything more than a pretty face after all. Together, Chloe and Jason must find their way past all the popping flashbulbs and through the dark maze of the criminal investigation to discover whether they can balance their professional goals with the demands of a celebrity marriage. The odds are entirely against them.

Nobody's Damsel

Chloe knew she was giving up the quiet life when she married Hollywood A-lister, Jason Vanderholt. She expected harassment from paparazzi but not from the writers of Blood Ritual, a television crime drama that brought national attention to a tough case she is trying to solve as a forensic scientist. While she and the rest of the Albuquerque Police Department once collaborated with the show, now relations have gone sour, and details that the police are trying to keep secret in the investigation are cropping up in episodes watched by millions. If that weren’t enough, everyone in Chloe’s life seems to be going through a rough patch, from her best friend, Lori, who is trying to plan a wedding, to her niece Kyra who is upset about Jason’s choice of television roles, to Jason himself who is inexplicably moody and withdrawn. None of this drama is the type of thing Chloe knows how to resolve. She is trained to do one thing: hunt down the big bad wolves of the world. But with her connections to fame compromising her work, she may not even be allowed to stay on the case. The clock is ticking as law enforcement agencies across the country try to find a serial killer before he strikes again. Chloe is faced with a choice, to help catch one of the most evil criminals in history, or provide support to the friends and family who have always been there for her. Either way, she feels she might make the mistake of a lifetime.

The Hunt for the Big Bad Wolf

This book has characters in common with the Someone Else's Fairytale series. Everyone needs a safe space. For Lizzie Warner, that space has always been in front of the camera on her hit show, or on stage before a sold out concert arena. Since before she can remember, she’s been a star, but that may be about to change. She’s nineteen. Her show has been cancelled and now she’s going to play the lead in a new prime time drama series, but is the world ready to take her seriously, or will she be typecast as the cute tween queen forever? Her network has decided to be aggressive and has invested millions of dollars in an ad campaign for her show, money she’s not sure she can earn back. Her co-star can’t stand her, and the writing for the show turns out to be poor at best. The only reason Lizzie didn’t walk away from the job offer to begin with is because she’s broke, the victim of a decade of bad money management. Then there’s Devon, the personal trainer at her gym. Arrogant and abrasive, he’s the last guy she should ever find attractive, but she has a hopeless crush on him anyway, and he doesn’t seem entirely disinterested either. In fact, sometimes he’s downright sweet to her. If only he weren’t an untamable bad boy who uses and dumps women like they’re nothing. Though Lizzie’s friends warn her to stay away, he’s the only person who can create what she needs: a safe space. But is there any way she can break him of his years' long habit of being a user?

Castles on the Sand and Love in Darkness: The Box Set

Shattered Castles

Chloe didn’t set out to be famous, but her marriage to Hollywood A-lister, Jason Vanderholt, made her a celebrity by association. Jealous and nosy fans heckle her in public and the tabloids portray her as cold, arrogant, and unworthy of her husband. As bad as that is, it’s about to get a whole lot worse. Her brother, Chris, is being paroled from prison, where he has been serving time for shooting and nearly killing Chloe when she was a child. This is not a situation that she wants splashed all over the headlines, especially because this could incite her brother to try to finish the job. When Chloe gets word of a string of crimes that might be tied to her brother, she finds she has yet another enemy: their father, Dr. Winters. He refuses to cooperate with Chloe’s security team and even gives the police a hard time when they try to investigate. The one ally Chloe has in her own family is her half-sister, Beth, a public prosecutor intent on bringing Chris to justice. Her approach is so aggressive that everyone from Chloe’s security specialist to the police detective insists that she is doing more harm than good. Beth assures Chloe that her way is the only way that will work, which leaves Chloe to decide whether to trust the experts, or the sister she barely knows. The wrong choice puts her very life in danger.

Chloe could have had the perfect childbirth… If only the baby hadn’t come two weeks early If only Jason wasn’t working overtime to save his new television series If only the television crew wouldn’t antagonize the archaeologists working next to the set If only the archaeologists hadn’t found that dead body If only the main suspect wasn’t the beloved boyfriend of sweet Lizzie Warner, a girl who deserves to have it all… Chloe’s first week of motherhood isn’t going at all how she hoped, so she is determined to solve the murder, no matter what it takes. Perhaps then the second week can be magical.
