(The Forgotten Passages Book One) After almost nineteen years, I was used to life - used to school, used to having to put down my beloved books in exchange for heels and pearls, and used to lying to everyone who wasn't aware of my second, secret life in the Brotherhood of Time. It's been five years - five years since the Order's been heard of, five years since my life became a little more exciting...but almost four years since I saw the one person I thought I never wanted to see again. Drake Garner's reappearance wasn't coincidental. He'd been hiding something, something he's finally ready to reveal, and I'm apparently one of the few he trusts. I thought I knew about secrets...until I knew his.

(The Forgotten Passages Series Book Three) After twenty years, I was used to life - used to playing a part, used to knowing my life was in danger with every step I took, used to the fact that I had people out to kill me...and Vince Peters thought he did. It's been a year - a year since the Order attacked us in the tunnels under the ruins of Seward House, a year since I'd been on the edge of dying, a year since I somehow found it in myself pull myself from what would have been my watery grave and get to Scotland and the one family I knew would help me and keep my secrets. To everyone I loved, I was missing and more than likely dead...that is, until the one girl who disappeared herself showed up. When Vince Peters thinks you're dead, it's easy to travel around the world undetected. Now, after months of being hidden away and taking on a new identity, Kenna and Cruz convinced me to begin the search for the third and final key. This time, however, it was in the clutches of the one man who took everything and almost everyone away from me. Somehow, we would get it back and find whatever the three keys opened. And expose every secret Vince Peters kept, tearing down his world around him.

(The Forgotten Passages Book Two) After almost nineteen years, I was used to life - used to the parties, galas, and benefits, used to keeping secrets, and used to the dangers my life with the Brotherhood of Time brought me. It's been two months - two months since Drake Garner came back into my life after four years of silence, two months since he trusted me with the secrets he kept, two months since we started our own adventure his great-grandparents had gone on before us...but only two weeks since that adventure came to a halt when one of my best friends was dumped at our doorstep, broken, unconscious, and bleeding. It wasn't just Drake's reappearance that changed everything. Vince Peters was set on getting his hands on me, but there was no way it was happening. Not only could I protect myself, but I had the strength of the Brotherhood and the Knights behind me. He thought he could break me by hurting those I love, but he didn't know what was coming for him. Because I was and there was no stopping me. But some secrets are meant to stay hidden...even when you become one yourself.

Oliver Yates doesn't seem to be the man she's loved all these years and his secrets are as dangerous as they are heartbreaking. Time and distance may heal her but they can't free her.

With the stakes higher than they ever were and the rules of the game changing as they go all in, will these two find their way back or will a mysterious hand tear them apart forever? *Second book in the Cobalt Bay Billionaires series.* *** Copyright © 2016 by Nina Tippett.

***The wrong girl is sometimes The Right One.*** Charlotte Samuels thought she'd be stuck waiting tables at Marlow's until all her debts are paid off-in about ten thousand years or so. She definitely didn't expect a marriage proposal from the arrogant Brandon Maxfield who was blackmailed by his father to make her his wife if he didn't want his least favorite cousin to run Maxfield Industries. Charlotte's instinct was to say HELL NO! but she's stumped by a few obstacles: 1.) His old man Martin Maxfield is dear to her heart and has been recently deteriorating in health. 2.) She gets a million dollars if she stays married to Brandon for a year. 3.) She would rather like the opportunity to teach the attractive but awfully rude man a few lessons he didn't think he needed from a 'teenage gold-digger' which was his term of endearment for her on their first date-er, business meeting. So what's a girl got to do, right? Sure, she's young and a little rough around the edges but there's something her would-be husband didn't know about her yet-she's nothing like he ever expected. Thrust into the glitzy world a standard-issue Mrs. Maxfield would fit perfectly and rule with impeccable social grace, Charlotte will either have to force herself into the mold or break free of it, risking what little she has left for everything that she can gain. *** Copyright © 2014 by Nina Tippett.
