We first meet Cassie in my contemporary romance novel, The Reunion. Gillian and Jeremy have stopped for breakfast at a truck stop diner in Idaho Springs, Colorado. The diner owner is none other than Samantha Walsh, Gillian’s long-long best friend As they get reacquainted, Samantha introduces them to her daughter, Cassie. She’s taken a few days off from school to visit her mother. Jeremy watches her as steps away, and his life will never be the same.
Cassie and Jeremy soon become friends, but he can’t seem to get her off his mind. As the story unfolds, they get to know one another better and their relationship changes. Cassie returns in my contemporary romance novel, The Journey, this time as a lead character. Her world will quickly turn upside down when she’s seriously injured in a car crash, and Jeremy will mysteriously vanish before she leaves the hospital. Cassie is left to start a new life without him, but deep down, she knows he’s still out there, somewhere, waiting to be found.
Cassie is a purely fictitious character who is best described as grace under pressure. She’s certainly an inspiration for those times when we feel overwhelmed by all life’s obstacles.
