It's 1939, and the world is at the precipice of war. But life for one young man in rural America couldn't be better. Jonathon Blackwell is the eldest son of the most powerful family in town and heir to Blackwell Iron and Mining. Unlike many who struggled to survive the final years of the Great Depression, he has everything he could ever want - except the one thing he desires most. Sheltered by class, privilege, and living inside a locked iron fence meant to protect him, no one could ever imagine anything terrible could happen to him, but dark times are coming. Fate is about to play it's cruel hand, and when it's all over, the world, the country, and young Jonathon will be changed forever. The much anticipated prequel to the 2014 Watty award winning and Wattpad featured story, The Boy in the Woods! This is Jonathon's story, and it just may break your heart... Best Ranking: Historical Fiction #4 Note: Even though this story takes place before events in The Boy in the Woods, it's intended to be read AFTER because it wraps up the last of the mysteries of that story. A gentle warning - many spoilers and much confusion lie ahead if you decide to start with this one. :)

Hi All! DEEP DARK is now under contract with my publisher, so I can only provide a sample. The full book IS NOW AVAILABLE on amazon from Limitless Publishing! Isabelle DeLuca can handle pretty much anything. She's a co-owner of DeLuca Construction and is raising a five-year-old all by herself. Her daughter is the most important thing in her life, but her friends and family have no idea who the father is-and Izzy's not telling. Who is the mystery man who left her alone, pregnant, and forced to raise their child by herself? Why won't she tell? While looking into a lead on a business associate, she stumbles across something bigger and more dangerous than anyone expected. She soon finds herself embroiled in a Homeland Security investigation and a possible domestic terrorism event. Who knew book-keeping could be so hazardous? The sudden appearance of a ghost from her past has Izzy second-guessing everything she thought she knew about life, love, and her-and her daughter's-future.

He was her first love and 'never'... She will be his last and 'forever'. *** Tessa Maxfield has always been the smart one because she couldn't be the pretty one or the cool one. And she's fine with that. The upside of being smart is not making stupid decisions like she did as a kid, falling in love with her older brother's best friend. She outgrew that and could still outsmart it now. Jake Hastings has always been a playboy because he could be so why not? But his best friend's rash wedding and fairytale marriage has left him wondering if he could have more. The downside to his notorious reputation is that when he unexpectedly finds the girl he can't live without, she won't believe him. He burned that bridge a long time ago and she's not letting him build a new one now. Can two people who want so much of what they're afraid of find their way through first loves and second chances to finally find each other? *** This is a spin-off from The Mischievous Mrs. Maxfield. It can be read standalone but I would highly recommend reading the original book first before this one for a lot more context and extra scenes. *** Copyright © 2016 by Nina Tippett.

Note to readers: Hey Guys! Safe guard is now under contract and I'm only able to post a sample chapter. It's coming Sept. 5, 2017 on amazon, so stay tuned! The DeLucas are back in this second installment of the family saga. Hugh DeLuca knows what he wants from life: marriage, family, contentment. He's had it with women more interested in their careers than anything or anyone else. The last one broke his heart and nearly broke his spirit. So why can't he get his brother's partner out of his mind and his dreams? She's exactly the sort of woman he's trying to avoid, but they keep getting thrown together and he can't seem to forget her. Chris Hart was the youngest person ever to make detective in her precinct and she's proud of the career she's built. She loves her partner, but wishes she could forget about his gorgeous older brother. He makes her nervous and she's developed a ridiculous school-girl crush that he seems completely oblivious to. She's much too old for this sort of thing! But Finn's wedding keeps her in all-too frequent contact with Hugh. How is she supposed to forget him when she has to see him nearly every day? When six bodies are discovered on Hugh's new job site, it shuts down construction and he turns to Chris for help. Will they be able to solve the mystery before one of them gets killed? Will they be able to overcome their preconceived ideas of what the other is looking for in a relationship and find the love that is waiting for them?

Note to Readers: This title is now under contract and I have to take it down from wattpad. I am only able to post a sample chapter--SORRY! It will be available July 11, 2017 on amazon! Melanie Blythe is perfectly happy staying home and focusing on her graphic design clients. She knows her limits and has been burned before. She certainly never intended to become involved with the gorgeous cop down the street. Finn DeLuca has more than enough on his hands recovering from a hit-and-run accident that has left him temporarily in a wheelchair. He's on the rebound and has no intention of getting romantic with the cute girl two doors down. But they didn't count on his five brothers and sisters sticking their noses in Finn and Mel's business. They are a force to be reckoned with in the first installment of this family's story.
