This novel was created with the intent of placing you inside the head of each character in order to give  you privileged insight into their life experiences and powerful emotions.  There are four main characters in  Slow Burn.  Each chapter is told from one of their points of view.  At the top of each chapter, that  character’s name will appear in italics to tell you who is speaking.

 Serafina Jordan is affectionately called “Sera” by her friends and family.  A sensitive Sagittarius, she  loves hard and because she loves so hard she falls even harder when that love is betrayed or taken  away.  Loyal and passionate, she longs to find a man who is capable of loving her with the same intensity  in which she’s willing to give her own heart…  

 Ayzha Darwin , Serafina’s best friend, is trapped in a stale marriage.  At the age of twenty she married  Riley Darwin, a man fifteen years older.  Eight years into her marriage, the novelty of having a younger  wife has worn off and Riley has placed her back on the shelf like an old bowling ball that he dusts off and  throws down the lane every once in a while.  Starved for affection and thirsty for romance, it’s just a  matter of time before another man breaks down her defenses and feeds her exactly what she’s been  craving…

 Khalil Roberts is an aspiring musician and music producer.  The son of a famous Jazz saxophonist, Khalil  has spent the bulk of his life taking advantage of the carnal perks his privileged lifestyle has afforded him.   Hard partying and fast women were the norm until a serious discrepancy in his past caused him to look  deep inside of himself and figure out what type of man he wanted to be.  Spiritual, poetic, and sensitive,  Khalil is the ideal man now because he’s chosen to learn from the mistakes he made way back when…

 Dr. Jeremy Sanders is a player his father can be proud of.  However, instead of playing sports, Jeremy  plays women and he always scores big.  Love is not an option, not even when Sera, his girlfriend of two  years walks out of his life, leaving him to ponder whether or not he’s been thinking with the right head.   Jeremy’s thoughts will take you on a journey that reveals that no man is born a dog, but he can be trained  to chase multiple cats…

 Slow Burn was written out of love.  I fell in love with each and every character.  I felt what they felt.  I  laughed when they laughed and I cried when they cried.  Writing this book was a roller coaster of emotions  and my fondest wish is that you, as the reader, feel the things that I felt when Serafina, Ayzha, Khalil,  and  Jeremy entered my thoughts.  They will always be more than characters for they are now an  important  part of me that I would like to share with you.

 Enjoy,
