Did you read my short second-chance romance, Maybe This Time Will Be Different? If you did, then you’ll remember how the story opens. The short follows Omar Harris, a barber at Kuts Kings… the same Kuts Kings from my No Fraternizing series.

Anyway, in Maybe This Time Will Be Different, Lila and Manny from No Fraternizing make a cameo. Their appearance serves as an update from their last one in Loveless (book 4 in the Forbidden series), when Lila was pregnant. So it’s a bit of a surprise when it’s alluded that she might be pregnant again. Especially when she’s first caught running off to the bathroom and Manny casually mentions she’s had an upset stomach since the day before. Then again when she runs out of the shop after Omar’s son’s mother jokes about Lila not knowing she’s experiencing pregnancy symptoms.

Well, this alternate ending picks up right where that moment in Maybe This Time Will Be Different left off! I had to revisit it. And, as usual, I feel like these two have another story in them.

What do you think?

Enjoy. 🥰

LILA

It was quiet. A little too quiet. So quiet I could hear my heart pounding… loud, steady, and distracting.

How excited I was to create an alternate ending for these two. Just saying their names—Nubia and Naazir—makes my heart warm. I love them deeply. Not too many words here, because you’ve got to get to the story. Enjoy! I know I did writing it…

NAAZIR

I shifted my attention from the canvas in front of me to Nubia. Smiled as I studied her, sitting as still as she could, covered only with a white silk sheet. She held a bulk of the fabric around her full breasts.

Have I told you how much I love writing alternate story endings? Because I really do 🥰. And capturing Summer and Jayce in this alternate ending is exactly why I love it so much.  

These two will forever hold a special place in my heart. They were the ones who started it all—the foundation of a seven-book series. They walked so the other books could soar.  

And now, I’m beyond happy to capture the very start of the next chapter in their fictional lives.  

Enjoy!

Romello will always be Romello. It was good catching up with Mello in this alternate story ending. I’ve always wanted to return to him and Rayelle, and I was happy to do it this way. We’ll be seeing Mello again soon—where? I don’t know yet. But if you know me, you know past characters always have a way of popping up when they’re needed. For now, enjoy this alternate ending from Mello’s spinoff. He’s still THAT guy! 

ROMELLO

“Yeah,” Rayelle said ahead of me. “Just give me like three minutes.”

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.

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!  

We first met them briefly in When Life Gives You Sunsets and then on Valentine’s Day in their story Living Out a Love Song, and now we’re catching up with them on another Valentine’s Day. So, sit back and enjoy their alternate story ending.  

And if you haven’t read about them yet, please do!

The Armstrongs are a couple I absolutely fell in love with while fleshing out their short Valentine’s Day story. There’s so much to adore about them. Readers loved them so much they wanted to spend more time with them, and we get to do just that with this alternate story ending. Winter has made its presence known across the country, but here’s your chance to escape to sunny Mexico for the next few minutes. Catch up with Desiree and Zane while soaking in a little sun. Enjoy!

DESIREE 

I closed my eyes as I sunk even further onto the hammock’s soft cushion. I moaned a second later as the warmth of the sun overhead kissed my calf.

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!

The couple that surprised me and completely stole my heart! Cadence and Meki were long overdue for an update, and I was thrilled to write one for them. It’s perfect timing too, since it was Christmas Day and being snowed in that originally brought these two together. They continue to be one of my favorite couples, and this alternate story ending just made it even more official. Enjoy!

There’s something about Christmas and romance that just hits differently, right? Maven and Kai’s love story started with a cabin, some snow, and a not-so-accidental double booking by their friends. Fast forward, and here they are—married and back in Aspen, but this time in their very own cabin. This alternate ending gives us a glimpse into their first Christmas Eve as husband and wife, full of warmth, laughter, and the kind of love that only grows deeper over time. Let’s catch up with these two and soak in the magic of their forever love.

Happy Thanksgiving! For many people, gathering around a table and catching up with family is a moment to look forward to. For Mykal, it’s quite the opposite. Family dinners are never something to get excited about when it comes to Mykal, and this year is no different. Desmond, however, has a better plan in mind.  

Enjoy this alternate ending to Envy! I just love catching up with these two, and I hope you will too.

I don’t think I’ll ever get tired of writing alternate story endings for Zoe and Bryant from Greed. They are complete opposites, which means there are endless conflicts that can arise from their differences, giving them endless opportunities to resolve those conflicts and grow. I don’t know—I feel like I need more time with them. They could use another story! Let me stop; the way my writing schedule is set up, I don’t even know if it’s feasible. So let’s enjoy this extra time with them… for now.

We witnessed them go from fake dating to getting engaged in Greed. Then, Zoe revealed she was pregnant in one of their Glimpses. And now, they are preparing for the next chapter in their journey… they’ll just need to sort out a minor “issue” along the way.

I think this might be my favorite alternate ending so far. Clarke and Yusuf were a favorite for many of my reader and for good reason. Their story, set on the beautiful island of Maui, was the perfect example of how fate can bring two people together. This alternate ending will lead into a very important scene in a future story of mine, and you’re among the few who will know the root of Clarke and Yusuf’s growth as a couple… right here in this alternate ending. Enjoy! I’m tempted to reread When Life Gives You Sunsets myself now.

My social media couple. The only social media couple in my catalog, I think! These two met in the most unique way… in the comment section of an Instagram post! You got to meet them as Kelli and Ryder’s engaged friends in From Friends to Forever. Now, they’re back with an alternate ending that plays on how they first met—arguing over palm oil and jerk seasoning. But this time, things are different. In Love, I Trust will celebrate its one year anniversary this month so this extra time with them is right on time.

I hope you enjoy this alternate ending to In Love, I Trust as much as I enjoyed writing it. Who knows, these two might still have a little more story left in them!

Just like Beyoncé’s song “Just For Fun” off her album Cowboy Carter, my short story Chateau Luxure was just for fun. There wasn’t a huge premise behind it, other than it being the tale of a woman who was taken to an all-male brothel to have a night of fun after accidentally revealing that she had yet to experience a mind-shattering night with a man. 

I’ve toyed with the idea of creating an extended story about Chateau Luxure. The place has already appeared in at least two other stories—Lust and Envy—and this supposed paradise for women may be a spot I revisit in future stories. 

For now, enjoy this alternate ending to Chateau Luxure, featuring the main character, Monah, and her male companion for the night, Prince.

August and Genesis are a couple who truly deserve their happily ever after. One of the things I love about Brookelynite Daily is the chance to offer my characters their happy endings not just once, but twice. After everything they’ve been through, they certainly deserve it. I’m excited to catch up with them again soon. For now, I hope this alternate ending brings you as much joy as it brought me while writing it!

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!

Do you remember Lita Gabriel? If you’ve read my erotic suspense novel Indecent Arrangement, her story likely left an impression. She was the wife of Jordan Gabriel, a man who seemed like the perfect partner but turned out to be a living nightmare. Just as Joelle (Indecent Arrangement’s main character) found her way out of that toxic situation, Lita, too, made her escape. But what does her new beginning look like?

In this alternate ending, we delve into Lita’s journey from her own perspective, revealing the next chapter of her life as she leaves her past behind and embraces a new adventure. Join Lita as she navigates the thrills of starting over, discovering unexpected connections, and savoring a fresh start in an unfamiliar land. Enjoy this glimpse into her newfound freedom and the promise of what’s to come.
