Welcome to the Brookelynite Daily Experience: A Sneak Peek at What Awaits

On Monday, I celebrated 6 months of Brookelynite Daily! This milestone means so much. It marks 6 months of creating content I genuinely love. The excitement I feel when brainstorming the content schedule and crafting the stories to share with my Brookelynite Daily subscribers is unmatched.  

The main reason I created Brookelynite Daily was to give my stories and their happily-ever-afters an extension. To me, the story never truly ends… it’s just the beginning. Brookelynite Daily is where the stories continue, week after week.  

If you’re not familiar with Brookelynite Daily, don’t worry! I’m here to give you a sneak peek at what you’ve been missing.

Character Q&A: Luke Lockett & Juliette Hart (Couples’ Edition)

It’s Valentine’s night, and the cozy, low-lit ambiance of NoHo Cigar Lounge sets the perfect backdrop for a night of intimate conversation. The rich, smooth scent of cigars mingles with the faint sound of jazz playing softly in the background. Over at the bar, the dim lighting glints off the high-end liquor bottles, while the quiet hum of the city outside blends with the warmth of the room. Seated in one of the brown leather quilted armchairs, Luke leans in toward Juliette, his hand wrapped comfortably around her waist as he whispers something in her ear that makes her smile. Her eyes reflect the flickering candlelight from a nearby table as these two show how far they’ve come from their college rivalry days. 

“I love coming here,” Juliette voiced right after taking a sip of her whiskey. “Especially since we’ve reconnected. It’s our little spot, you know? Feels like home now.”

Cali & Lee Episode 11: “It’s For Calese”

Cali & Lee was a story I knew I’d love even as just an idea… after I redeveloped it. The original version followed only Calese, but after writing stories with dual points of view, I don’t think I can ever go back. Both Calese and Levi had something to say, and their perspectives made the story richer.  

There were a lot of moments in this serialized romance where these two were fighting—either for what was happening between them or against it. But this episode… episode 11? This was the one we were all waiting for. And trust me, it was worth it.

Inside the Character: Getting to Know Amir Jones from Girl Code and Mr. & Mrs. Jones

Amir Jones is by far my favorite book bae of them all. And trust me, with every new story and character I create, there’s plenty of competition. But Amir? He still stands in a league of his own. What I love about him is that he’s not perfect, and he never pretends to be. His flaws are what make him real, and he owns them without hesitation. He stepped onto an outline one day and has been living in my head rent-free ever since.  

Let’s get to know Amir Jones more intimately.

Friends-to-Lovers… but make it complicated

Two years ago, I created a post recommending my stories to readers who were new to me. That post—which is long overdue for an update—was my way of helping readers find the right book based on the kind of mood or reading experience they were looking for.  

Not all my books are the same, and neither are my characters. My stories focus on building a book world filled with people from diverse backgrounds and personalities. No two characters are alike, and that’s exactly how I love it.  

With my catalog growing and my worlds becoming more connected than ever, I wanted to bring back book recommendations based on vibe, mood, and the kind of story you’re in the mood for.  

And what better way to start than with my favorite trope to read and write… friends-to-lovers. 

Let’s start with one of my faves 🥰.

Alternate Story Ending: Amir & Melodee (Girl Code/Mr & Mrs Jones)

This Valentine’s Day marks seven years of Mr. & Mrs. Jones 🥳.  

When I wrote this story, I knew in my bones that these two would always be a comfort couple for me. That couple I could check in with anytime and fall in love with love all over again.  

And this alternate ending? It gave me everything I needed.  

I think it’ll do the same for you too!  

This time, we’re heading back to a pivotal moment from Girl Code—the story that Mr. & Mrs. Jones is a sequel to.  

They’re back in Jamaica, having a full-circle moment, and we get to see every second of it.  

Enjoy.  

MELODEE

It’s Valentine’s night in Montego Bay, Jamaica. The outdoor stadium, just a stone’s throw from the beach, is packed with thousands of screaming fans.

Mr & Mrs Jones Chapter 23: “You Mind If I Join You?”

Mr. & Mrs. Jones had a lot of standout scenes—some that made us swoon, others that made us cry. But this chapter? This chapter in chapter twenty-three made us applaud Amir Jones for going to get his woman.  

By this point, Amir and Melodee’s marriage has reached a boiling point. The emotions, the tension, the loss, the pressures of Hollywood—it all piles up, and Melodee decides that Los Angeles just doesn’t feel like home and probably never will. It’s a breaking point, but instead of signaling the end, this chapter shifts things toward a new beginning for one of my favorite couples.

Inside the Character: Getting to Know Clyde Ali from Living Out a Love Song

Much like his wife, Danyelle, I took a liking to Clyde based on his and Danyelle’s story. Whenever I develop side characters, their stories are never as detailed as the main characters. I usually create their profiles as brief summaries, and if I feel there’s a story worth telling, I don’t hesitate to explore it. That’s exactly what happened with Clyde Ali. His love for Classic R&B and the intrigue of his relationship with Danyelle—starting when she was just his little sister’s best friend—were all driving forces behind me taking a trip down memory lane to tell the origin of their love story.  

Let’s get to know Clyde Ali more intimately.

Yup, it’s official—I’m in love with these two lol. A short story wasn’t enough. Neither was this alternate story ending! We need to talk more about Clyde and Danyelle because, honestly, I love them!
