The Power of Forgiveness in Rekindling Love in Sloth

This theme is central in Sloth, the seventh book in the Love is Cure, Vol. 1 – Vices & Virtues series. In life and in Sloth, one of the key elements of second chances in love is forgiveness. For the main characters, unresolved feelings and past mistakes make forgiveness crucial to their second chance. Their love is one neither has been able to let go of, leaving a void in their hearts that has persisted through their twenties and most of their thirties. Despite living seemingly decent lives, no matter how many people they date, their hearts have always wanted each other.

Character Q&A: Eryn Peters

On a sunny afternoon in a chic coffee house, Eryn Peters settled into a plush armchair upholstered in soft velvet. The ambiance was sophisticated yet relaxed, with elegant wooden tables holding mugs of coffee adorned with intricate designs that seemed to float on the surface of the lattes and cappuccinos. The rich aroma of freshly brewed coffee filled the air, mingling with the subtle notes of jazz playing softly in the background.

Eryn wore a fashionable, laid-back outfit that perfectly balanced comfort with style: a flowing, light blouse tucked into high-waisted, wide-leg trousers, paired with block-heeled mules that clicked softly against the wooden floor as she moved. Her long hair was styled sleek and straight, cascading down her back in a glossy finish.

“I’m gonna keep it real with you, B,” Eryn began with a smile, her eyes glinting with a mix of warmth and defiance, “the only reason I agreed to this Q&A was because of this beautiful coffee house. I never turn down coffee, especially when it comes with such a dope presentation.”

The scene was as serene as it was stylish, perfectly reflecting Eryn’s poised yet complex personality. Getting her to agree to sit down and chat wasn’t easy. Mentioning Simeon, however, seemed to trigger a strong reaction from Eryn, which was intriguing given her impending reunion with him, though she wasn’t aware of it. As she sipped her coffee, the conversation shifted to her past and her emotions, leaving a lingering sense of intrigue about her story.

Lust Chapter 7: “What is Pryce Doing Here?”

Lust is the second book in the Love is Cure series and introduces us to Pryce Williams. If you’ve read my Forbidden series, then you might remember Pryce from Meant to Be, where he was a friend of the main character, August. In his first appearance in Meant to Be, Pryce is escorting his one-night stand down the stairs and can barely remember her name until she reminds him. Suffice it to say, Pryce is a player—and not just on the basketball court.

Lust presents a different side of Pryce. Although in chapter one, he’s still up to his old ways, by the time he lands back in New York City from Oakland, he’s a man on a mission. He wants his ex-girlfriend Leelah back, and he’s willing to do anything to achieve that goal.

Inside the Character: Getting to Know Clark Ali From When Life Gives You Sunsets

Clarke Ali made her first appearance in my book world in When Luke Met Juliette. She was the outspoken friend at the Valentine’s dinner table, and though she had only a few lines, it was enough to give readers a taste of her character. Readers got to know Clarke much better in her story, When Life Gives You Sunsets, a beautiful tale about love and healing hearts.

Clarke later appeared in my Valentine’s Day short story, Living Out a Love Song. This story was set in the past and showed a younger Clarke Ali. Clarke is one of my favorite characters. Her name is one I fell in love with the moment I gave it to her, and she’s the risk-taking, life-exploring spirit that gave When Life Gives You Sunsets its sunny feel. Let’s get to know her more intimately.

From Friends to Forever: Episode 15 – Trying to Face the Music

KELLI

Ryder’s melodic voice drifted through the condo and into my bedroom, gently pulling me from sleep. The soft notes of a piano floated through the air, making me blink my eyes open. The early morning light filtered in through my curtains, causing me to squint as I looked around my room.

From Friends to Forever: Episode 14 – Trying to be Smooth

KELLI

I pumped my foot on the potter’s wheel, my eyes focused on the clay as it spun beneath my hands. It covered my fingers as I moved them with a conscious grip and practiced precision, watching as the shape of the clay transformed before my eyes. I really should have been sleeping, but it was a Monday night, and I was home alone, wide awake after 11 p.m. The bright light above me, giving off a studio-like effect, shone down on my hands, highlighting the intricate patterns I was embossing in the soft, wet surface. There was something so satisfying about feeling the clay turn in my hands on the potter’s wheel, molding at every touch I made. It was the epitome of being creative.

Alternate Story Ending: Skylar and Noah (Just Friends)

Just Friends is one of my very first self-published stories and my initial exploration into the friends-to-lovers trope. So many of you have asked if Skylar and Noah’s story will continue, and I’ve joked that they’ve gone silent on me. But when I started Brookelynite Daily, one of the things I was most excited about was revisiting my characters from way back. I’m thrilled that one of the first alternate endings is a follow-up with Skylar and Noah. They were my training wheels for writing friends-to-lovers stories, and I’m so happy to give you a sneak peek into their lives after the original ending. Enjoy!

Pride Chapter 18: “Why Would You Bring Me Here?”

There were many chapters I wanted to do commentary on, but this one stood out to me. Although it appears later in the book, it’s significant because Jayce brings Summer to his home to meet his family and, most importantly, to show her the place that shaped the man she was falling for.

Jayce had a deeper reason for bringing the pampered princess to his neighborhood. It was a move that truly demonstrated how Summer’s love for Jayce was blossoming, despite the fact that falling for him went completely against all her plans.
