I created this children's book to express just how much my best friend means to me and also how incredibly happy I am for her to finally have a baby of her own. It was so much fun documenting such happy feelings of parenting into a childrens book- where I know so many other people can relate! There is no better feeling than watching your best friend get promoted to "Mom"!
I can’t borrow him. He’s not a sweater or a skirt. He’s not even her favorite dress—the lucky one she wears on first dates. The one she probably wore on her first date with him. In my defense, I didn’t know who he was. To me, he was a cool, calm, confident stranger. He was perfection for the entire hour and a half train ride while the concrete jungle turned into a rolling green landscape. To an outsider, we probably appeared more friends than hopeful lovers. But my blush came quickly, and his dimples indented with every smile. We definitely shared a spark of what could be. Too bad I didn’t know who he was before I fell for him, because he can’t be mine. ** If you received the incorrect book (Wild Steamy Hook-up) we apologize.

Every hero has an origin story where he slays the monsters and gets the girl. Mine is a cautionary tale. I am the monster, and I watch the woman I love die over and over again. I was born an orphan and a legend with my first breath. My silver spoon was replaced with an iron blade, and my wealth with a bounty on my head. I lived in the shadows, lurking amongst the bastards and the beggars with no moral compass to guide me as I stumbled through life, carrying the heavy burden of my past in secrecy. The few who dared to speak my name knew me as Justus Beiste – just beast. I was untamable and bowed to no man or God, ruled only by my desires. But the one thing I craved most, I could never have, for fear she too would fall victim to my curse. This isn’t a love story. This is a tragedy played out in endless acts, spanning countless lives. Still, I would follow her across centuries, my soul tethered to hers, protecting her from those who came before us, until I succumbed to bloodlust and broke our ties or bonded us together forever.

I went to a depraved club and came out pregnant by my best friend’s dad. Some girls have all the luck. They meet their man, get married, and start cranking out babies. But I’m not like that. I like things a little different, so I go to the place that satisfies those dark desires: The Cube. What we do in the club is off-limits and taboo to normal society, but it scratches an itch I have deep inside. Unfortunately, one night I meet a man at the Cube who takes my breath away. He’s just as dark, dangerous and twisted as me, but then his mask falls away … AND IT’S MY BEST FRIEND’S DAD! Omg, I’ve had a crush on Brent Marshall for years. And now he’s being naughty with me, his daughter’s childhood buddy. What do we do? Or more accurately, what happens when I get pregnant from our illicit encounter?

This book features characters that initially appeared in My Dad’s Business Partner, but both books are standalones and can be read on their own. You’ll love them, I promise! Xoxo, Cassandra

As a mother, even with a degree in child and adolescent development, I have faced many things that humbled me. All the things I felt I knew about parenting were thrown out the window when I became a mother. Many times, I got lost in the day-to-day demands of motherhood and stopped celebrating my children and the joy they bring to my life. Their struggles and lifes struggles knocked me down at times, but I learned to laugh instead of cry. Well, sometimes I cried then laughed, and other times I cried until I laughed. My purpose in writing this book was to help other parents find the humor in lifes ups and downs. Even as I write this, I am threatening to cause bodily harm to my children if they interrupt me one more time. Dont panic; they will live. Me, I am not so sure. Colton is rearranging my living room, which drives this OCD mom crazy. He is hiding dirty socks in my pots and pans, but no worries, I will wash them before I cook with themwell, if I remember. Payton is turning his comforter into a cape and diving off the furniture, yelling that he is taking over the world. Lets not forget the five thousand philosophical questions he has asked today, starting at seven a.m. In the middle of this chaos, it is so easy for me to forget the sweet moments. Several years ago, I decided to write down little blurbs that my boys said and funny situations that reminded me they are precious gifts. This is what inspired me to write this book and share it with you. I want to use this to celebrate my boys while encouraging you to do the same thing.
