Inside the Character: Getting to Know Desiree Armstrong from Twice in Love

Desiree Armstrong’s story was short but impactful. Readers fell in love with her and her husband almost immediately upon meeting them. This is the magic of a short story—it demands getting to the heart of the characters quicker than a novella or slow burn. Her story was unforgettable (pun intended) and left a lasting first impression. It takes a special kind of person to navigate the journey back to themselves the way Desiree had to after losing her memory.

Let’s get to know the FMC from Twice in Love more intimately.

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.

Inside the Character: Getting to Know Apryl Wilde from Gluttony

Apryl Wilde is definitely one of my standout characters. She’s successful, headstrong, and has a knack for turning life’s hardest hits into fuel for her fire. She’s one of my alpha women characters, a type of FMC I truly love writing. Apryl was, and still is, the perfect other half of the fifth book in the Love is Cure series, with most readers liking her instantly. Let’s dive deeper into Apryl’s story and uncover what makes her tick.

Alternate Story Ending: Everett & Apryl (Gluttony)

If I could, I’d give these two another story—no question about it. Honestly, I’m starting to notice I say that a lot about my previously published characters, but it’s true! Every time I check in with them for these alternate story endings, I fall in love with them all over again. Love just looks so damn good on them. Everett and Apryl are no exception.  

In Sloth, we got an update on them when Eryn visited her big brother and his fiancée at their duplex in Manhattan. This alternate ending takes us back to move-in day for Everett and Apryl at that very duplex. Let’s see how it all went down. Enjoy!

Sloth Chapter 9: “I Must Be Dreaming”

For at least two books in the Love is Cure series, readers have been eagerly awaiting Eryn Peters’ story. She’s danced around conversations about her past relationship with her ex-boyfriend, Simeon, for long enough. In Chapter 9 of Sloth, the very thing Eryn vowed to avoid happens—she reunites with her first love, the man she believes broke her heart. It’s one of the most memorable reunions in my book world.

Inside the Character: Getting to Know Zane Armstrong from Twice in Love

Readers loved Zane Armstrong from scene one. His patience stood out immediately, followed by his unwavering, devoted love for his wife, Desiree. After her near-tragic car accident left her without any memory of him, Zane didn’t feel defeated—he rose to the challenge. Through heartfelt efforts, he guided them both down memory lane, recreating their cherished moments and taking readers along for the emotional ride. Though Zane and Desiree’s story in Twice in Love is short, it’s undeniably sweet.

Character Q&A: Eva Gordon

It’s a chilly evening in Rochester, New York, and Eva Gordon, wife to basketball star Jaleel Gordon, sits comfortably in the kitchen of their family home. The sounds of the winter wind outside are muffled by the warmth of the house. As she sips her herbal tea, Eva watches her newborn daughter, safely asleep in the nursery, from the video monitor. Her eyes are soft with contentment, and there’s a quiet glow to her. She’s a mother now, and life has transformed in the most unexpected ways.

Eva’s calm demeanor suggests that she’s found peace in her busy life, which now revolves around family and balancing her flourishing yoga studio and juice bar with the demands of being a mother of two. As she settles into the conversation, she smiles warmly, a little bit tired but grateful for everything life has gifted her.

“Girl,” she said, “I can’t remember the last time I had a full night’s rest but these kids make me so happy.”

As I settled into my seat, I started our conversation from there.

Home Before Midnight Chapter 6: “Why Don’t You Call Your New Friend? Mr. Greene?”

Reconnecting with the Gordons had been on my mind from the moment I typed “The End” on their Christmas short story, Home for Christmas. I fell in love with this young couple even before I started writing, just from the outline. The way their love unfolded felt so organic, making it a joy to bring them back for their second chance romance. So when the idea of writing a New Year’s Eve story came to mind, Eva and Jaleel were the first couple I thought of. Their love is intentional—expressed through both words and actions—and Home Before Midnight showcases that beautifully, especially in chapter six.

Home for Christmas Chapter 2: “Hug, you guys!”

Home for Christmas holds a special place in my heart as one of my favorite Christmas stories in my catalog, right alongside Rekindled. This story came to me completely out of the blue. As the holidays were approaching, I wanted to write something that captured all the Christmas vibes while being undeniably heartwarming. The premise? A separated couple brought together by their son, who asks for just one thing for Christmas: to celebrate the holiday with his parents under one roof. From that setup, you already know you’re in for a good time.

Inside the Character: Getting to Know Eva Gordon from Home for Christmas and Home Before Midnight

Eva Gordon is one of those characters who feels like a warm hug wrapped in a love story. She’s the definition of grace, balance, and knowing your worth, even when life throws curveballs your way. When I created Eva, I wanted her to represent the kind of love that doesn’t just exist for someone else but also for yourself. She’s deeply relatable, from her bubbly personality to her firm boundaries, and her story is one of resilience, healing, and rediscovering love on her own terms. Eva’s journey in Home for Christmas was a joy to write, and she’s a character that stays with you long after the last page.

Character Q&A: Clarke Ali

We find ourselves in Clarke’s cozy, sunlit apartment in New York City. The faint scent of red wine and the sounds of the bustling city below seep through the windows. Clarke, with her effortless style and sharp wit, has settled into a comfortable chair across from me, a glass of wine in hand. As we settle in, she reflects on her life now with Yusuf, their journey together, and what the future holds.

Clarke, wearing a fitted sweater and high-waisted jeans, grins at me as she takes a sip of her wine. “You’re lucky I’m sipping this wine instead of running after some of the crazy ideas you’re about to throw at me.”

With a warm laugh, I start the conversation.

Rekindled Chapter 6: “What are you doing here?”

Rekindled was honestly a dream come true for me to write, especially as a close proximity romance. In fact, it’s because of Rekindled that I ended up working on another close proximity story—a friends-to-lovers tale that I can’t wait to share with you soon. But back to Rekindled: this story was part of a collaboration I did with a group of amazing women during Christmas 2020. It has one chapter in particular that I absolutely love and looked forward to writing because it’s exactly where the story takes off. It’s the moment when two exes discover they’ll be spending the Christmas holiday together… under the same roof.

Inside the Character: Getting to Know Meki Knight from Unsilent Knight and A Love Deferred

Meki Knight is a reader favorite because he’s far more than what his surface suggests. When we first meet him in Unsilent Knight, Meki comes across as a bit aggy, with little patience for our FMC, Cadence. But as his character unfolds, particularly in A Love Deferred, we discover a deeper, more endearing side of him that’s impossible not to fall for. Meki is a man shaped by his past, someone who seeks love and isn’t afraid to admit it—even if it takes time.

Chapter 7 Unsilent Knight: “I bet you never had a man make you sweat like this with your clothes still on.”

Unsilent Knight was my very first Christmas-themed short story. But let me tell you, this wasn’t your typical holiday read. It was more of a story that just happened to take place around Christmas rather than being drenched in the hallmark-style, Christmas-y vibes you might expect. And honestly, that’s why I wrote it. Unsilent Knight was meant to be a holiday side treat—a way to promote Girl Code, which was released shortly before Christmas. I even included a sneak peek of the first few chapters from Girl Code in Unsilent Knight. 

So, please know, this story wasn’t supposed to become “the moment.” But somehow, Cadence and Meki stole hearts. Readers fell in love with them, demanding more—and I delivered with A Love Deferred. But before ALD, there was Unsilent Knight and this pivotal chapter that turned what was supposed to be a side story into one readers couldn’t stop talking about.

Inside the Character: Getting to Know Cadence Nice from Unsilent Knight and A Love Deferred

I’ve had some favorite characters over the years, but if you asked me which character I identified with the most, it would be Cadence. I injected a lot of myself into her character makeup. Working in IT (as I did in my twenties) and loving yoga (a practice I’ve been committed to for many years) are just a couple of our shared traits. Though we are different in many ways—especially her fear of love—Cadence mirrors me in her love for order, planning, and organizing. She’s a favorite of mine and of readers, too.

The room is filled with the familiar scent of coffee and the soft glow of studio lights.

Ready or Not Chapter 5: “Uh… What Are You Doing?

Ready or Not is the first book in a new series that spins off from a story that nearly took me out. Last Comes Love, the story Ready or Not branches from, was such a difficult but necessary story for me to write. It captured a friendship and showed how time can often be taken for granted. It was a story that made us all experience a loss we likely will always remember. So, when it came time to start Rylee’s journey without Lennox, I knew I had my work cut out for me. I was fully prepared for readers to refuse to believe Rylee could find love after Lennox. Much like time played a major role in Last Comes Love, it continues to be a central theme in Ready or Not—something that becomes evident the moment Rylee meets Xander.

Whether you’re rooting for him or frustrated with him, one thing is certain: Kai leaves an impression.

Inside the Character: Getting to Know Desmond Ellis III

Desmond Ellis is a character who doesn’t get nearly enough attention in the Love is Cure series… but that’s just my opinion. He’s truly an amazing man—one who knows the meaning of sacrifice and embraces it wholeheartedly. Not only is he kind, but he’s also incredibly smart and altruistic. He has all the ingredients of the perfect book bae because, let’s be honest, he is the perfect book bae. Desmond came into Mykal’s life at exactly the right time because the path she was on wasn’t leading anywhere good. Everything changed the moment he “stole her job” 🤭.

Character Q&A: Rayelle Bell

In the heart of Miami, Florida, I found myself sitting in Rayelle’s pole dancing studio, a space that was as empowering as it was graceful. The soft hum of music filled the air as she moved around, tidying up between classes, effortlessly managing her business. The studio was a reflection of her—a blend of strength, femininity, and confidence.

Rayelle was dressed casually in workout gear, her long hair pulled back into a neat bun, exuding the same confidence and allure that had captured Mello’s attention. As she took a seat across from me, her eyes bright with energy, it was clear that she was more than just Mello’s wife—she was a woman who had built a life on her own terms.

They Call Me Mello Chapter 3: “… I’ll buy my drink and your next drink too”

Readers loved Romello “Mello” St. Claire so much in the No Fraternizing series that I had no choice but to give him a spinoff. The number of readers telling me that Lila better end up with Mello in part three was overwhelming. Suffice it to say, I was a little worried because that was not the plan at all, lol. Manny and Lila had history, and the love between them left no room for Mello, no matter how lovable and amazing he was. But I knew Mello had a love story out there waiting for him. And not just any woman would do—she had to be special enough to catch Mello’s attention and make him ready to commit. Chapter 3 introduces us to that woman at the exact moment Mello meets her, and it’s a scene to remember.

Character Q&A: Xander Cox

On a sunny afternoon in Brooklyn, New York, I found myself in the bustling firehouse where Xander Cox worked as a firefighter. The space was alive with energy, filled with the sounds of laughter and camaraderie among the crew. The walls were adorned with memorabilia and photographs, showcasing the proud history of the firehouse and the brave men and women who served there.

Xander stood by the kitchen area, wearing his uniform, looking both relaxed and ready for action. The aroma of freshly brewed coffee filled the air, mingling with the faint scent of smoke from a recent call. As the crew wrapped up their duties, Xander’s warm smile hinted at his excitement to talk about his budding relationship with Rylee. A relationship that will be explored soon.

As we settled into the inviting break room, surrounded by the spirit of teamwork and resilience, I could feel the anticipation in the air. This was not just a conversation about work; it was about the hopeful new chapter in Xander’s life with Rylee.

I love all of my characters, but Rylee is a standout. She’s strong without realizing it, brave despite her uncertainty about where life is taking her, yet willing to go along for the ride.
