Cassie's Secrets: A Small Town Second Chance Romance (Women of Worthy Book 1) Kindle Edition
Single mom, Cassie Verano, and her two young daughters move to small-town Worthy, Ohio to be near her brother and his family.
She longs to raise her daughters without her ex-husband’s family’s controlling interference, and live in peace. When her daughters befriend two girls who are cared for by their matchmaking aunt, Cassie avoids it at all costs. It’s the last thing she needs or wants after escaping a dangerous marriage.
Widowed business owner, Steve Nardelli, wants nothing more than to complete his huge Australian deal and expand his deceased father’s electronics firm to secure his family’s future. Though his wife died, their marriage was anything but happy. His sister’s matchmaking only annoys him and adds to his guilt, especially when the lovely Cassie Verano seems to be hiding something—and he’s not interested in anyone else’s deceitful ways.
Can Cassie and Steve set aside their deep suspicions and guarded feelings to learn to trust again?
Cassie's Secrets, although part of a series, is a stand alone romance.

About the author
I was born and raised in a small historical town in northern Ohio. After having lived in various parts of the United States and for a short time in Germany, my husband and I have found our forever home in the Raleigh-Durham area of North Carolina.
I have two grown daughters, two lovely grandchildren, and a husband who supports everything I do no matter what it is.
When I'm not writing, thinking about writing, or plotting my next novel, I'm busy preparing a telephone Bible Study that’s I've been doing for years.
A long-time lover of romance novels, I would like nothing more than to sit on a deserted beach somewhere sipping iced tea and reading to my heart’s content. My husband and I travel to visit family and friends in my hometown where I browse and delight in my favorite library.

- Reviewed in the United States on September 21, 2020Cassie and her two daughters move to Ohio to live near her brother and his family and distance herself from her angry ex.
Widower Steve and his two daughters live in the same town. His twin sister Mia and longtime housekeeper and family friend, Fiona, live with them.
Like two magnets Cassie and Steve are both attracted and repelled by the other, but their daughters become friends, making it impossible for them to avoid one another.
Cassie’s Secret is a heartwarming story of growth, sweet romance, and the power of Christ to heal and overcome wounds. I enjoyed it very much and thoroughly recommend this book. The plot moved well, the main characters were well-developed, and the children vulnerable and sweet.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 30, 2024This author writes beautifully. You should help her to get Harmark channel to make movies of her books.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 9, 2021Cassie and her two young daughters move to Worthy, Ohio to get away from her ex-husband. There she meets Steve, a widower, who has two daughters of his own. The children of both families are best friends, and Steve's twin sister, Mia, happens to be Cassie's friend, so they find themselves together at many school and gymnastic events. Troubled first marriages lead to trust issues on both sides. Late in the book, Mia disappears and Steve blames Cassie. This story is about forgiveness and redemption. I highly recommend it.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 13, 2022A book about two topics I know nothing about, writing books and blended families and how to make them work. It really made me think. A interesting book with lots of convolutions.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 20, 2021Seralynn Lewis has created an engaging story with relatable characters who face and overcome personal challenges. She includes situations that demonstrate how faith can enlighten and guide our hearts. This first book of the Women of Worthy series was a joy to read, and I'm now completely immersed in the second book.
- Reviewed in the United States on October 5, 2020Cassie’s Secrets is the first novel from Seralynn Lewis. The story tells the tale of Cassie & her two girls starting over in small town Ohio. In large part to be close to her brother’s family & further from her ex, who is not such a good guy. Enter Steve, a widow also raising two young girls. They meet & despise one another, yet their girls become fast friends so they have to deal with each other… Both characters act horribly to one another over the course of the book, so much so you really don’t like them at some points. They both had horrible first marriages, both harboring secrets that they don’t want to tell. The b storylines were intriguing as well, the biggest one dealing with Steve’s sister Mia suddenly disappearing. I’m thinking Mia will potentially get a book of her own in the future?! I found it to be equally funny & frustrating at times but a fast paced read. Cassie drooling over Steve’s muscles had me laughing out loud, but the hem, haw, & angst of the main characters was off putting. That said I can totally see this being a Hallmark movie. So if you are a fan of Hallmark movies or Christian Fiction you would enjoy this book. Religion, praying, & forgiveness all have large arcs in the book. P/S There's nothing wrong with spicy romance novels, there's a time & place for everything. The book pokes slight fun at the genre as this series is intended to be for readers who prefer milder romance.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 14, 2020Great story that includes a missing person mystery.
She is escaping from a domineering ex & seeking a new life in her brother's town. Her friend is nanny for her 2 nieces & they share parent duties. She has faith to sustain her.
He gave up his faith when his marriage began dying. Then he had to rescue his business. A story of faith.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 30, 2020What if your "second chance at love" comes along--maybe even your true destined love--and you're not ready for it? What makes this love story so compelling is that Cassie and Steve are each still tangled in a complicated net of memory, trauma, guilt, hope, obligation, and determination that has left both of them defensive, mistrustful, and secretive. And their secrets are dramatic enough, and the push and pull they feel powerful enough, to make this a page-turner.
One of the most interesting aspects of the story is how much of the drama springs from the adventures of a supporting character who will star in the next book of the series.
