When one night creates a forever they never saw coming.* The debut St. Skin novel * Full length standalone romance with guaranteed HEA and no cheating *CASS: I always remember Scarlett as the one night stand that got away from me. I fell in love; she took off. It feels like a lifetime ago now though. I traded in my guitar for a needle, working at St. Skin, bringing other people’s stories to life … bringing other people’s stories to life through tattoos. Though I still think about her, I know I’ll never see her again. But I never knew that after she left our one night, she left pregnant. She never told me. I only find out when her best friend comes crashing into my life and my heart with a baby in her arms – my daughter. With my life turned upside down, I struggle to figure out what it all means: being a father, and finding a new love growing in the place reserved for the woman I lost but thought of as my forever love. It feels crazy – and wrong – but I don’t care.
DIEM: A car accident takes my best friend’s life and now I’m raising her baby. I’ve fought hard to do everything to keep Paisley as my own, but I know her father is out there and he deserves to know the truth. The last thing I expect to find is the sexiest man I’ve ever met – complete with muscle, tattoos, and an attitude to match. I’m not going to force him to be a father and I’m certainly not going to force him to get close to me. But I need the help. Meeting Cass was supposed to make life easier. As I fall for him, I realize everything is becoming more complicated.

Beautifully heartbreaking, and heartwarming story. Diem and Cass had an uphill battle to climb but seemed to work together to figure it out. I enjoyed this story.
I loved this book and I loved every minute of reading about Paisley, Diem, and Cass. You will be sucked into a world that is hard to imagine, but the ride is worth it. The happily ever after ending… ties this book up perfectly and leaves you smiling, ready to take on the day.
Different, excellent story. I love these books by Jaxson Kidman and London Casey. I am looking forward to my next one! I give this 5 stars!
Excellent potential…badly executed! My first by either of these authors and most likely my last. Perhaps those new to this genre will find it good reading, but I just can’t get past the overly repetitive dialogue… I am not her mother… She is my daughter… And the constantly bouncing timeline! I didn’t care for Diem…the child’s father is a rich “rock God” and their biggest worry is she won’t have a birthday…I can’t believe I read the whole thing!!
This book… I can’t even… It was so good! Let me preface this by saying, I’m an avid reader, I do it everyday. This book pulled me in with all of its feels & angst, so much angst! I was at work on my break reading this because I couldn’t put it down. It all revolves around Diem, who is raising her best friends daughter, and Cass, the baby’s father, and the relationship they build. There is so much more to this book but there is no way I can describe it, you have to read it!
Cass lives the life of a rock guitarist moving from town to town playing gigs and having women throw themselves at him! When he takes Scarlett up to his room he envisages much more than a one night stand, but he wakes up alone the following morning. After struggling with the hurt he decides to leave the musician lifestyle behind and takes up tattooing. Scarlett keeps her pregnancy secret, but confides who the father is to her best friend Diem. When Scarlett is tragically killed, Diem finds herself thrown into parenthood. She struggles with telling Cass he has a daughter or keeping Scarlett’s secret. Deciding he needs to know, puts her out there to be destroyed if he decides to fight for legal custody. Who is Diem… her mother, a girlfriend or just a convenient replacement for Scarlett.
You can never go wrong with a book by London Casey/Karolyn James or Jaxson Kidman, but put the two of them together and WOW! This book follows the rollercoaster life of Cass and Diem. The emotion of this story pulls you in an captures you from start to finish. I was so caught up in this book that even when the tears were rolling, I still couldn’t put It down. A definite must read more than once.
Loved it
I loved this book. It has all the feels with a happy ending. Every time I read one of these authors books they get better.
Started the St. Skin series out of order which is fine, made Cass and Diem story a little more special for me, great book really enjoyed it, I’m hooked on this series!
