Welcome to the Feisty Heroines author interview where you can get to know some of the authors of this amazing collection.
How far will you go for your dream? Rachel Diaz is determined to save the trees—and one very special tree, in particular. The city is threatening to raze part of the park to make way for a food truck court. Taking extreme measures to gain public support, she hopes to stop the devastation. Her plan seems to be working, until she meets the opposition face to face. Cash Bradford has a dream of taking his food truck business to the next level, and he campaigned hard for a food truck court to be built at a local park. The only snag is the beautiful but feisty woman waging a protest to stop the project. A woman who happens to be his ex. But hopes and dreams are powerful things, and neither of them wants to give in—or give up. Unless they can find a way for both sides to win, they both will lose—in more ways than one.

Excerpt from Powerful Things
When they reached his car, he went to open the door for her. An impulse hit her like a lightning strike, and she grabbed his shirt with both hands and pulled him close. When his face was an inch from hers, she pressed her lips hungrily to his mouth.
The sharp intake of his breath indicated his surprise, but his arms came around her, crushing her body. All that mattered was this kiss—this long-overdue, wonderful, exciting kiss. His mouth claimed her, tasting, exploring like a brand-new lover would.
But it was achingly familiar, and that added a layer of emotion to her passion. When he slowed and pulled away, she released her hold on his shirt and a nervous laugh bubbled up in her throat.
“Whew. Well, we still know how to kiss.”
He opened the car door and helped her into her seat.
“Yes, ma’am. I had no doubt.”
Sizzling chemistry, roller coaster emotions, and a surprising twist or two…
Whether fighting supernatural forces or their own inner demons, Renee Regent’s characters will always find their way to a happy ending.
Renee lives in Atlanta with her husband, three cats and four turtles. When not working or writing, she can be found sitting on her deck enjoying nature. Wine may or may not be involved….
