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.

From the Author
Interview originally posted on Smitten's Book Blog, January 26, 2013.
Someone Else's Fairytale and Nobody's Damsel are two very different books. Both fab and intriguing in their own way and offering a bit of something for everyone. What made you decide to write both of these storie? Who or what was your inspiration?
Given Someone Else's Fairytale is a romance novel, it doesn't lend itself to sequels very well. You'll notice that most romance series use an ensemble cast with different people stepping up to fall in love for each book. The other option is to have a couple so fraught with romantic problems that they threaten each other with divorce once a book or somesuch. And I guess there's a third option, to just fill books full of sappy sweetness and no plot, but my readers are too smart to put up with that.
Nobody's Damsel is a transition book. It sets up a repeatable plot structure that enables me to keep telling stories about Chloe and Jason. The plot framework isn't romance though. In Damsel it's a police procedural and later books can use Jason's job for the plots too, so the result is something that lends itself naturally to an ongoing series because films and criminal investigations are the kinds of thing that repeat over and over again. Several people wanted more Jason in this book, so I'll make sure to put more of him in the next one.
As for my inspiration, I just thought the idea of a down to earth woman catching the eye of a superstar was too funny to pass up. Then I created some characters and I love them, so they're my inspiration now.
When you begun SEF, did you know what the story of ND was going to be? Or did that come at a later date?
No, not at all. I wrote SEF while pregnant and off my medication (I'm an insomniac). It was after I'd parted ways with my publisher and while the chick lit market was melting down spectacularly, so I just wrote it for me, to entertain myself, really. I didn't ever see it getting published or having sequels or anything like that. Then when I did publish it and it found its audience, I decided a sequel would be a good idea.
The reason I took a year to write Damsel, though, was because I knew I had to plan carefully. I wanted a structure that lent itself to a series. Later volumes won't take a full year to write, thank to the time I put into engineering the framework of Damsel.
I looooved Jason, as you may have gathered from my reviews. Do you have a dream cast for Chloe and Jason? And any of the other characters?
Not really, though someone suggested Jake Gyllenhaal for Jason and that made me think of Maggie for Jen - who would be PERFECT. If a movie deal were ever on the table, though, I'd approach it as a chance to see what other people could bring to the story. Given it's about the film industry, I dare say any actors would have opinions worth listening to. And I've seen enough film deals to know that going this route means letting go of creative control (and getting your money up front!
Did you write in order? What was your writing process? If not, what were the first and last scenes you wrote?
I do write in order. Then when I redraft, I do that piecemeal. I pick a scene I don't like and get to work, no particular order there. I edit with a very heavy hand, deleting tens of thousands of words in a day sometimes. By the end of the process, I'll have written two or three times the number of words in the final novel, sometimes more. Most of them get cut.
There were some dark elements to Chloe's story. Especially in ND. Were these difficult to write?
Not really, though I guess that sounds a little mental. I don't put in nasty scenes for the sake of being shocking; I do it because really bad things do happen, and there's no point pretending otherwise. I believe happy endings are earned and fought for and require a lot of emotional resilience and creativity. Anyone can have one, and they are never easy, even if some people make them look that way.
Also, fairytales tend to be very dark if you think about them. Living happily ever after always required passing a major test and winning against the odds.
Were the endings always going to be that way? Or did you have a few different ideas?
For the most part, yes. Damsel lays out the theme of the series, that our dreams are no less important than our reality. Chloe deals in reality, in hard evidence and matters of life and death. Jason deals in dreams, in humanity's ongoing project of processing life experiences and making sense of why we live our lives the way we do. Their relationship is basically a metaphor for how all of us live, with one foot in reality and the other in imagination, speculation, and contemplation.
There are plenty of new authors out there and lots of impending 2013 releases and works in progress. If you could give a new author one piece of advice, from your experience, what would it be?
1) Know what it is you want and 2) go get it. I think people often focus too much on #2 without taking the time to figure out #1. For example, some writers will say that the write for creative fulfillment and then be devastated when they don't make sales. This means they don't actually write for creative fulfillment; that might be part of it, but they also write to make money, or to reach fans, or to become famous. Knowing which of these matters is essential to putting together your career plan, or else you'll never find career fulfillment.
Me, I always wanted to be a writer for my job. My goal is to reach a point when my income from writing supports me. I don't have to be rich, I don't have to be famous, I just want to have that job, so that's what I'm working on.
You have quite a few other books out too. Can you tell us about some of those? Are they all the same genre as the Fairytale series, or are they all completely different?
They are all romance, but in order to explain how varied they are, I should give a little background:
I began writing as E.M. Tippetts when I decided to branch out from my usual science fiction and fantasy (which I write as Emily Mah) and try my hand at romance. I also wanted to try out novel publishing, so I wrote LDS (Mormon) romance so that I could sell it to an LDS publisher. That's where E.M.Tippetts got her start. Her first novel was Time & Eternity, about a 26 year old convert to the church who has a revelation from God, which in turn kicks off a whole lot of strife and mayhem in her life. (I was tired of religious books were God solves all the problems. I mean, really, no one's made my life more complicated than He has, not that I would trade it for anything.) The next book, Paint Me True is a coming of age story for a thirty year old woman who still yearns for a perfect romance, only to learn the hard way that love is what you make it.
Then comes Someone Else's Fairytale, the first non-LDS book by E.M. Tippetts. I then delved back into LDS fiction to write Castles on the Sand, which is a YA novel about a girl who thinks she's nobody special, and her deeply religious older brother who knows her true worth. Then I wrote Nobody's Damsel, and next will be the sequel to Castles on the Sand.
Aside from that, I still write science fiction and fantasy short stories as Emily Mah and sell them to magazines and anthologies, then publish the reprints in electronic format for Kindle, Nook, etc.
Thanks so much, Emily. I have to say, I hadn't realised you'd planned a whole series for Fairytale, which makes me very happy! I can't wait to read more about Jason and Chloe (okay, I admit, mainly Jason) and it also explains a lot about the way ND pans out. I really like that. The other books in the series will definitely be going on my TBR list.
Thanks so much for the opportunity! Re: more Jason, what I LOVE about indie writing is that I get to work directly for fans. No editor telling me I have to hit x target demographic or whatever. If people say they want more Jason being romantic, I can go right ahead and write it.

I loved this sequel! Contemporary upper YA romance meets crime drama in a great mixture!
By Megan
I loved this sequel! When I reviewed Someone Else's Fairytale, I gushed about how much I loved the characters and how down to earth and real and believable they were and Nobody's Damsel felt the same way.
My favorite aspect of this sequel was seeing how Jason and Chloe began their life together and watching them work out the kinks in their relationship. It felt so realistic and I could relate to so many aspects of it. I enjoy a good romance with tons of steam and maybe even a love triangle here and there, but it was so refreshing to see two people overcome real issues and talk things out. Chloe and Jason have completely different careers and Jason's was hard to deal with when the paparazzi followed Chloe around on a regular basis and the tabloids made up ridiculous stories. It was like the two of them decided to spend the rest of their life together and that was no question, but they were figuring out the logistics of every day life. I could relate because I've been there and I loved the way the two of them handled things. I love when sequels tackle the logistics of two people starting a relationship when book one is typically how they meet and fall in love. I like to see love radiate off of the characters even after initially falling into it and Nobody's Damsel was perfect in that sense.
I hate to give away much from the series (especially since it's a given that Jason and Chloe ended up together after book 1), but I liked seeing Chloe work in her field and overcome her own past in order to get through a difficult case that mirrored her own in so many ways. Nobody's Damsel wasn't a dark book, nor what I would classify as a crime drama, but both played a major role in the plot. I thought it was interesting to combine what I would call a contemporary upper YA romance with a crime drama and E.M. Tippetts was able to do it well.
E.M. Tippetts has a fantastic ability to write a great story. Nobody's Damsel made me smile and made me frown and upset me in some parts and it had suspense in others. Somehow, the author was able to get me to care about crime drama and life as a celebrity, two things that I wouldn't have considered appealing to read about, without me even realizing how it happened! I absolutely love Jason and Chloe, as characters and as a couple. I couldn't put this book down and I loved it so much, I contemplated picking up book 1 and rereading it because I wanted to experience the series from the beginning again. I highly recommend this series and I can't wait to read more from the author.

Like the Author was trying to apologize for writing chick lit
By Picky User
I normally hate giving 1-star reviews because I know that I give less credence to 1-star and 5-star reviews because they fall so much within extremes. However, I honestly hated this book.
To explain the title of my review, a brief review/comment on the first book: Somone Else's Fairytale. I didn't love SEF, but I liked it more than well enough. I thought it was cute and it hit the right spot. Was it believeable? Of course not. Were there problems in the plot? Sure. But I didn't care because enough of the plot worked to make the book enjoyable. And after finishing it, I checked Amazon to see what else this author had penned. Her other novels seemed much different than SEF. Different in the sense that they were the anti-fairytale. And this is where I get to hating Nobody's Damsel. To me, it read as though the author hated herself for writing "chick lit" in SEF and so felt compelled to "justify" herself by writing Nobody's Damsel.
I get the title. Chloe is nobody's damsel. She was never a girl waiting for a Prince Charming to come rescue her. Only, the reality is that she really was. Remember her mother and her inability to act like an adult? Chloe may have thought that she never wanted some guy to "rescue" her because of her issues with her mother and father, but the reality is that she has always been waiting for someone to be the "adult" and take over. So, first of all, I think it's false to really paint Chloe as an anti-princess, anti-heroine. Everyone needs some sort of rescuing, Chloe included.
If you read the author's note for her book Castles on the Sand, you see a glimpse of the author's viewpoint that the typical Prince Charming behavior of the leading men written into chick lit is stalkerish and just wrong. However, she wrote that character in Jason Vanderholt. So, in SEF, she wrote a weak heroine and a stalkerish hero and so felt compelled to "right" it someone by writing Nobody's Damsel. The problem for me is that everything I loved about SEF was missing in Nobody's Damsel.
Am I wrong to state that those of us who enjoyed SEF picked up Nobody's Damsel because we wanted to read about the Happily Ever After that Chloe says she and Jason had at the end of SEF? No? But we get really only a few chapters of Chloe and Jason, and the little that we do get makes me think that they are headed towards divorce. Marriages have problems, but two years into marriage and Chloe and Jason are still arguing over the same things? They have sex now, but they still need to work on talking?
Nothing about this sequel worked for me. Chloe's work case was not interesting, and honestly, how is she supposed to work and live under the pressure of forever being Chloe Winters, the Girl Who Survived? The script that started off each chapter cut into the story and was something that I just ended up skipping each time. If Jason has such a problem with his profession, then he should just quit and go to law school. And Jason is supposed to be wise about his career but I'm surprised he didn't tank it with the stunts he pulled over his ex-girlfriend/co-worker. Jason seriously sounds like he's on the verge of a breakdown and yet we're supposed to believe that he gets an Oscar? And why would anyone listen to the ideas of an actress who's every project has tanked? How is it believeable that she has good ideas when she can't even pick good projects?
And why am I so sure that Jason and Chloe are headed towards divorce? Because Jason and Chloe grew furhter apart as the story went on. Jason is making decisions on his own, he seriously seems more than just "attracted" to his ex-girlfriend, and in the end, Chloe just... goes along with it? That's the impression that I got. Nobody's Damsel? Maybe she should aim to be nobody's doormat first.
As for the ending, this is what I imagine was going through the author's mind: "Oh yeah, this is supposed to be part of the 'fairytale' series. I know, I'll just say that everything worked out at the end. Jason will get an Oscar and that will make everything right between Chloe and Jason."
Bottomline: This book reads like it was written by someone who is angry at the chik lit genre. Had the author spent more time on whether the plot made sense rather than on the difference of whom versus who, maybe the plot would have worked. But I doubt it. And the "whom" thing really bothered me because while I understand that most Americans don't use whom and who properly, if you are writing dialogue, then it should at least fit the character. I have a very hard time believing that some of her characters even know the word "whom."

Dang!! This book has twisted my arm behind my back and made me bow to it. Did NOT see that twist.
By Rebecca Berto
EM Tippetts has a habit of making the reader underestimate her books and then BAM! you feel silly for not seeing the ending. NOBODY'S DAMSEL was like this for me. I'd read book #1, Someone Else's Fairytale a while ago and loved it, so I was attached to these characters. The history and my attachment with the main characters, Jason and Chloe, boosted the read to a 4 starrer for most of my reading it and then this happened:
at 70-75% I said this: "Have you read SOMEONE ELSE'S FAIRYTALE (book #1)? Well this book #2 is different yet intriguing. I'm loving it!"
[Looks like something epic is happening]
at 90-95% I said this: "Dang!! This book has twisted my arm behind my back and made me bow to it. Did NOT see that twist."
[Sounds painfully great!]
NOBODY'S DAMSEL takes a different turn in the storyline than FAIRYTALE. This one is more of a mystery, but behind it all is the core relationship between swoony Jason Vanderholt and Chloe. I'm happy EM Tippetts chose this road. We learn more about both Jason and Chloe this way -- a deeper level into their personality and how this affects their careers, him as an A-List Hollywood actor and her as a forensic scientist.
I know so many people will relate to this book. Chloe and Jason get married in FAIRYTALE without getting to know the ins and outs of each other properly. This book is a fantastic story about a newlywed's troubles to form a happy life as one unit and understand each other's differences. It's cute and lovely.
But let me just say that the main storyline, the "mystery" part, will blow you away. Chloe was abducted and almost killed as a child and guess what? Her first case is almost identical to what happened to her. She's thrust into this situation where she must live by her horrible memories constantly, all while the paparazzi are incredibly horrible to her, yet push that aside and focus on this poor little girl.
NOBODY'S DAMSEL blew me away. I had to write this review three days after I finished the book just to compile my thoughts and do this review justice.
Recommended reading -- 5 stars!
