Cassie Mae

Nerds, band kids and the socially awkward are the reliable subject of Cassie Mae's romances. Friday Night Alibi was an early title on Random House's digital Flirt line, in which Kelli Pinkins charges the rich boys of her town to pose as the wholesome girlfriend their parents want to meet, until a real attraction threatens the trade. How to Seduce a Band Geek, second in her How To books and published by Swoon Romance in 2014, has Sierra Livingston bargaining for information about a drummer who has quietly given up drumming. No Interest in Love, from Loveswept in 2015, is the second All About Love title and shuts a jobbing actor in a car with his agent. Secret Catch, a high school football version of Romeo and Juliet, was written with Jessica Salyer and also released under her second byline, Becca Ann. Southern Spinster, from 2018, is a Frostville companion to The Princess and the Pizza Man, giving Maybelle Monroe, sister to that book's lead, a romance of her own. She writes from Utah, by her own telling, and coaches youth volleyball and basketball.
