Sneak Peek of Cassie - Christian Fiction romance

Book eight in the Apron String series releases August 2024

Today I’m sharing Chapter 1 of Cassie, which releases August 15, 2024.

The book is part of an 11-book Christian Fiction series. Each book can be read independently with the main connection being a cookbook passed down from generation to generation. Each story is held in a decade from 1920 to 2020.

Description of Cassie:

One cookbook connects them all...
Cassie ~ Book Eight in a string of heartfelt inspirational stories, featuring different women throughout the decades from 1920 to 2020.

Cassie Drake starred in a popular sitcom over a decade ago, but she hasn’t been able to find a job since the show ended five years ago.

Now it’s 1995 and fired by her talent agency, Cassie decides to accept her sister’s offer for an extended visit in their hometown. Back in Coopers Grove, she’s just Cassie Mason, sister to Bridget Martin, the local volunteer extraordinaire with the handsome husband and three wonderful children.

When an accident at the site for the Martin family’s new café and farm store leaves Bridget frantic for help with the community center open house she’s planning, Cassie feels forced to step up—even though it involves something she’s clueless about.

Cooking.

Even with Mrs. Canfield’s Cookery Book, Cassie fails at every attempt. Fortunately, her sister’s handsome neighbor, Alec Alderson, steps in.

As a former chef, he’s more than capable of giving her some tips. Will his charming smile during cooking lessons be too distracting though?

Watching others use their talents leaves Cassie wondering if God, whom she’s barely spoken to in the last few years, is telling her she was made for more than the career that became her identity.

This is an unedited chapter so if you find mistakes, you are welcome to let me know but it’s in the hands of the editor now.

Chapter 1

 Cassie Mason’s view of the living room from her slumped position on the couch reminded her that the previous day had not gone according to plan.

Three empty Chinese food containers, a pile of Kit-Kat wrappers, and four empty bottles of strawberry-flavored Clearly Canadian water were scattered across the white carpet of her condo.

She stared at it all for several groggy minutes before she sat up slowly, two empty Pringles cans rolling off her lap as she wiped the back of her hand across her damp cheek.

Had she really fallen asleep while watching her way-too-overplayed videotape of The Princess Bride? She made a face as she pulled a Twizzler off her cheek.
