A novel of heartbreak, betrayal, and the quiet courage it takes to choose yourself.
Cassidy Morgan didn’t mean to fall in love.
She definitely didn’t mean to fall for a married man.
But by the time she discovered the truth, it was already too late.
She believed him when he said he was leaving.
She believed the lies, the promises, the stolen nights that always ended with him walking out the door.
Until one public run-in with his perfect wife shattered the illusion for good, and Cassidy became the villain of someone else’s story.
Devastated and humiliated, she retreats home to the small-town safety of her family, where her silence becomes its own kind of prison. But in a place where everyone already thinks they know the truth, whispers are louder than facts… and healing isn’t as simple as walking away.
And Andrew isn’t done with her.
Not by a long shot.
When her past refuses to stay buried and choices threaten to define her, Cassidy does the one thing she’s never done before: she writes her story, her way.
What begins as therapy becomes wildfire.
Suddenly, the ‘other woman’ has a voice.
And people, thousands of them, are listening.
Choosing Cassidy is told in a single POV from the perspective of the ‘other woman,’ who is also the heroine of this story. With the support of a fiercely loyal family and the people who refuse to let her disappear under the weight of someone else’s judgment, Cassidy begins the difficult work of reclaiming her life, rediscovering the woman she wants to be… and maybe even finding a love that was never built on lies.
