Cassidy's Daddy

A small-town rich girl, determined to make her own way... A bad boy from the wrong side of the tracks, determined to make something of himself... Young love gone sour, a secret pregnancy, a tense reunion — and a sweet, sassy little girl with an extra chromosome.

Can they pick up the pieces of the past to forge the future of their dreams?

Things aren’t always how they appear in tiny Rose Quartz, New Mexico — and no one knows this better than Trixie Belmont.

For six years, Trixie has been waiting tables at the local diner and caring for her daughter all on her own. She truly loves her life — especially her sweet, smart, perfect daughter, Cassidy, who happens to have Down syndrome. Everything is rolling along just fine...until Trixie’s safe little world is rocked by bad boy Sam West’s return to the town she thought he’d left behind forever.

Only Sam isn’t such a bad boy anymore. In fact, he’s finally fulfilled his dream of becoming a doctor. Part of him knows he’s returned to Rose Quartz to prove himself to everyone who once thought he was trash — but another part knows he’s back for one person and one person only: The former love of his life, Trixie, whom he believes cheated on him with his own brother.

Is Sam ready to forgive and forget in the name of love? Is Trixie ready to come clean and reveal the truth — that Sam is father to a special little girl with an extra-special chromosome? Can Trixie, Sam and Cassidy form the family they never had the chance to be — until now?

Catherine Avril Morris lives and writes in Austin, Texas, where she consumes as many breakfast tacos and double-Americanos as possible. When she isn't eating, reading a novel, watching terrible TV shows with her husband, or chasing the two- and four-legged beasts — er, that is, children and dogs, who destroy — er, that is, live in her home, she is dreaming up sensual love stories with a pulse of humor and a whole lot of heart. Another fun fact: A long time ago, Catherine had a role in a little film called Dazed and Confused that became a cult classic.

Please note that CASSIDY'S DADDY is Book 2 of the Rose Quartz Series, but it works well as a standalone novel. Book 1, MARRY ME TWICE, and Book 3, MIDNIGHT DREAMS, are available on Amazon for $3.99 each (ebook). Review copies of both books can be obtained directly from the author by emailing her at Catherine@CatherineAvrilMorris.com.
