Author: Charlotte Casey

Charlotte Casey writes contemporary romance with country settings, close communities, and characters balancing work or family obligations against new relationships. Chance opens the Rusted and Reckless series and follows Aveline Michaels, a student and caregiver whose responsibilities leave little room for herself. Greer McQueen knows her through an online class before one night brings their connection into ordinary life. Barnes & Noble identifies Chance as the first Rusted and Reckless volume and describes its contemporary premise. Goodreads independently records Casey’s authorship, romance genre, and the five-book series that continues with Jolt, Endure, and Ashes. The opening installment establishes the pattern suggested by the series name: people carrying damage still choose whether to risk change. Casey grounds that choice in college, care work, and financial pressure rather than an abstract romantic obstacle. Chance presents a fast-moving relationship story whose emotional weight comes from limited time, unequal burdens, and the possibility that one decision can redirect an already crowded life.
