From Friends to Forever: Episode 1 – Kelli

KELLI

“Have a good one, Robin,” I said to a customer as I handed her a Bellyful logo bag. “I’ll see you tomorrow.”

She smiled back at me, accepting her bag. “Yes, you will.”

I snickered as I closed the register and walked from behind the service counter.

“It’s all yours, Shawn,” I said to one of our cashiers. I pointed at him next. “And remember what I told you.”

He chuckled, then licked his lips. “No flirting. Got it. I’mma be good, promise.”

I rolled my eyes while suppressing my smile. “Yeah, okay. Hard to believe when you’re doing the very thing I told you not to do right now. Stop licking your lips, okay? Because why are you licking your lips?”

Inside the Character: Getting to Know Eryn Peters from Sloth

Eryn Peters has been a character I have truly looked forward to working with. From the moment I created the summary of her character for her appearance in Gluttony (the fifth book in the Love is Cure, Vol. 1 – Vices & Virtues series, and her brother’s book), I knew she would be a character worth developing.

Though she was a side character in Gluttony, Eryn is the definition of main character energy. Let’s dive into the character known as Eryn Peters to get to know her intimately.

Girl Code Chapter 8: “I don’t want to be your friend anymore, Mel”

On the heels of writing their anniversary short, I have to say, Melodee and Amir are still my favorites 🥰. I love them deeply. Their love is one that seems wrong on paper, but once you peel back the layers, you really can’t help but get all warm and cozy in what they are. Literally friends to lovers, in its purest form. And this chapter exuded that.

Get to Know The Characters Of Sloth: Eryn & Simeon

So, obviously, you’ve already met Eryn and Simeon in the stories they appeared in (Gluttony & So This is Love, respectively) before their story in Sloth. But there is so much more to learn about these two characters—so much that wasn’t revealed during their cameos as side characters.

In the character profiles below, we’re going to dive into some of that untold story.

These two are so different, but their brand of different works. Their opposites fit like puzzle pieces, making them a couple you can’t help but be drawn to. Coming from two very different parts of New York and vastly different upbringings, it might seem like these two would never have met under any other circumstance. However, Eryn and Simeon give new meaning to the phrase “opposites attract,” making them the perfect couple to conclude the Love is Cure series.

An Intro to Sloth

And so it begins! Sloth is the last story in the Love is Cure, Vol. 1 – Vices & Virtues series and has a release date of September 19th. This book will conclude my longest running series and I cannot wait for you to read it for many amazing reasons besides it being the last story. 

For one, we’re dealing with characters always meant to be (like all my other characters). However, decisions and circumstances that were too big for them to handle at the wrong time, changes the trajectory of their futures. 

But like life, their story worlds collide when they least expect it, leaving them to need each other in more ways than they first believed.

We met Eryn Peters and Simeon King in previous books in my catalog. First, we met Simeon in So This is Love (Book five in the Forbidden series) as the MMC Dallas’s agent and then we met Eryn in Gluttony (book five in the LIC series) as the younger sister to Everett – the MMC. In both stories, Eryn and Simeon mention each other and their relationship, stirring up curiosity about their romantic history.

Especially because neither one of them would just tell us what happened. 

That’s because there’s so much more to just telling us. To tell us what caused their breakup would make us want to know the complete story behind it, and that’s what we will get with Sloth

New Release! Wrath is Available Now

Wrath – the sixth book in the Love is Cure, Vol. 1 – Vices & Virtues series – is available now in eBook and paperback!

Meet Lauryn and Asher, the newest characters in the latest installment in the most emotional story in the series.

Be sure to check the “Message from the Author” before reading and check out the story extras once you’re done!

Thank you in advance for your support and enjoy ❤️.

Lauryn James is a wayward waitress wrestling with a wrecking within. Asher Truesdale is  a promising psychology student who is pure at heart. Lauryn’s got wrathful ways. Asher has Prince Charming principles. Her temper is explosive, and he has the patience of a saint to be her calm. How they met was divine timing. What they create becomes a magnet for miracles. A mistake they believed should have never happened was actually a catalyst for something always meant to be.

Wrath Will Be Available Tomorrow!

The wait is almost over! The sixth book in the Love is Cure, Vol. 1 – Vices & Virtues series will be here tomorrow, 5/3 bringing us one step closer to a completed series. 

In this chapter of the series, you’ll meet Lauryn James and Asher Truesdale – two people who are opposites all the way around but find a common ground when they meet unexpectedly. Neither one of them had love on their minds, but when they meet, love becomes the only thing they can think about. Once that happens, things unfold fast. Faster than either of them is prepared for. But what seems like a mistake ends up being something meant to be. 

I love how different Asher and Lauryn are to each other. They’re from different worlds with completely different outlooks on life. Both of them are seeking relief from the lives they know all too well. And the refuge they find in each other will warm your heart the moment they lock eyes. 

It’ll be a journey!
