“Lady,
if I were you, I’d get the hell away from here ‘cause when I make
it up this hill, I’m gonna be looking for you.” Lucky Coalson’s
luck has run out. His ex-wife turned out to be a con artist; his
business is in a shambles, and he’s been tossed into a muddy river
by a smart assed feminist with a chip on her shoulder. Thingscouldn’t get much worse…or so he thought.

The
two square off immediately, but Renee’s admiration of the Coalson

Excerpt from Whistlin’ Dixie
Dixie heard Mac just on the other side of the bedroom door. She wanted to run and hide.
She needed to lick her wounds and come to grips with what a fool she had been to trust Mac and
his kisses. She didn’t want to listen to reason. She was hurting too badly and nothing he could
say or do would erase the picture indelibly printed on her mind of him in the arms of another
woman.
So when Mac knocked softly on the door minutes later, she turned a deaf ear to his plea.
“Dixie, please let me in. I want to explain what you saw,” Mac whispered.
Oh my God! Did he think she was blind? Or just plain stupid? Or so deeply enamored of
him that she was gonna let this stand?
“I saw what I saw. I took biology. I know all about sexual reproduction. Please leave.”
She was privately amazed she was able to carry on any kind of conversation with the two timing
jerk. She congratulated herself on how collected she’d been, considering her temper was
threatening to erupt again.
Knocking again a little more forcefully, he pleaded. “Dixie baby, please open up. You
didn’t see what you thought you saw. Please. Just let me explain.”
“I may be young, but I’m not stupid. And I am most certainly not blind,” she snapped at
him from the other side of the door. The man was unbelievable.
“You are the most infuriating bit of baggage I have ever encountered. If I didn’t care for
you so much, I’d leave right now and never look back.”
“You call that caring?! I call it a line of crap! The only thing you cared about begins with
an “F” and ends with me losing my virginity!” Oh, God! Had she really just shouted that?
Pounding on the door with his fist, he shouted, “Dixie Harris, you open the door this
minute, or I’ll break it down!”
“Then I’ll just have you arrested for breaking and entering. Sort of ironic, don’t you
think?” she countered sweetly. She felt like crying the Mississippi River because he broke her
heart, but she was not going to let that arrogant pain-in-the-ass know just how much she was
hurting. She had her pride!
“Fine. Just fine. I should’ve known better than to get involved with a little girl, anyhow.
Maybe, in a few years, when you grow up and if you have apologized nicely, I might just take
you back! And bring a damn soapbox to stand on. My neck’s getting sore from looking down at
you!” he snarled. After giving the closed-door another good pounding, he stomped out of the
house, slamming the front door.
“Oooooh!” Dixie’s eyes narrowed to mere slits and her hands balled into fists as Mac’s
last remark registered with the banging of the screen door. It was like pouring gasoline on a
bonfire. She was out of her bedroom and on the front porch in seconds. Heedless of the peoplewalking down the street, she advanced like a mad woman across the yard, screaming.
“Apologize to you? When pigs fly, you Mississippi River rat. I wasn’t the one caught fornicating
in the parking lot of the local pizza parlor. Hell will freeze over before I apologize.”
Mac saw her coming out on the front porch, and he started toward her, but the smugness
left his face, however, with each shouted word. By the time she was finished with her tirade,
Mac’s eyes were tempered steel and his face was set granite. “Well, the Devil better get ready for
a heat wave, baby, because I feel the same way.”
He hopped in his truck and with a squeal of tires, he was gone.
