Day 17 for #charactersinlove wants to know the most unforgivable thing Malcolm could do. Cheat, lie, and generally break her trust. Malcolm had to jump through a shit ton of hoops because of everything Calida went through with not only Seth, but also her first boyfriend Paul. The trust she's given him has been hard earned and she'd not survive any betrayal on his part. #igauthorlife #authorsofinstagram #writersofinstagram #interracial #interracialromance #romance #writingcommunity #romancecommuity #amwritingromance #romancewriter

#charactersinlove day 12 asks for their favorite movie or song. Malcolm is not a traditional kind of guy so his idea of a 'romantic' song would be a little different than most. Calida understands this and loves him for it.  #igauthorlife #authorsofinstagram #writersofinstagram #romancecommuity #amwritingromance #writersofcolor #bookstagram #indieauthor #romanceauthor #wocromancewriters

Day 10 for #charactersinlove Malcolm's favorite thing about Calida. Like with her, he loves everything about her. To narrow it down, he picks her inner strength. Calida went through a lot and often thought she was weak because of the things that happened. Malcolm believes, and tells her often that she's the opposite. She's a fighter. Quiet yet resilient. No matter how hard her ex tried, he did not break her. She survived him. Even in her darkest hour, she survived him. #igauthorlife #authorsofinstagram #writersofinstagram #wocromancewriters #writingcommunity #interracial #interracialromance #indieauthor #romancecommuity #amreadingromance #bookstagram

Day 1 for #CharactersInLove challenge is the meet and greet. It wasn't easy to pick which couple, but went with Malcolm and Calida from my second book, NOT BROKEN. They are a friends-to-lovers couple and Malcolm had to jump through a lot of hoops to get them there. Calida had been hurt more than once, and was distrusting of love and relationships. Malcolm's commitment and patience provided her with a foundation on which she could rebuild.  #igauthorlife #NotBroken #interracialromance #wocromancewriters #amwritingromance #romancecommuity #writingcommunity #authorsofinstagram #writersofinstagram #amreadingromance
