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 found out the truth, it was already too late.
She believed him when he said he was leaving.
She held on through 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 returns home to the small-town safety of her family, where her silence becomes its own kind of prison. But when the whispers grow louder and the shame threatens to swallow her whole, Cassidy does the one thing she’s never done before: she writes a book. Her story. Her way.
What begins as therapy becomes a wildfire.
Suddenly, the “other woman” has a voice.
And people, thousands of them, are listening.
In a town where everyone has already chosen sides, Choosing Cassidy is a raw, emotional journey of reclaiming identity, rewriting the narrative, and discovering a love that never asks you to settle for less than everything.

“Heartwarming
Such a crushing and heartwarming story.
Cass gives a whole new perspective of being the other women and how it can turn into someone's dangerois obsession. Full of healing and a tribe of supporters who build you back up with patience and care.”
goodreads review
“If Grey’s Anatomy was the lesson that taught me at 14 that love is not enough (Bonnie and the train), Choosing Cassidy was the example, the proof, the reminder.
This. Book. Is. Everything. Choosing Cassidy is more than just telling the story from the other woman’s side… It’s about remembering your worth and fighting for and protecting yourself! And more importantly, loving yourself!
Cassidy thought she’d found her happy ever beginning but instead of a dream, she found herself in a nightmare. Her man wasn’t actually her man, he was someone else’s. He was a husband. A father. A liar. A manipulator.
But in the wreckage, she found herself, she found hope, she found home. Surviving was never the end. Living was.
Choosing Cassidy is another beautifully raw story that is an absolute must read.
NDR isn’t just an acronym for Natasha Derouchie, it stands for Never Disappointed Reading and when Natasha writes, this is certainly the case.”
