About the Author
L. Renée Richard is a Hispanic author of dark psychological romance and romantic suspense. Born and raised in South Texas, she now lives in rural New England with her family, where misty mornings, winding back roads, and the changing seasons inspire many of the atmospheric settings found in her stories.
Proud of her Hispanic heritage, she enjoys writing diverse, emotionally complex characters whose journeys are shaped by love, loss, resilience, and hope. She’s a romantic at heart who appreciates strong female main characters and unforgettable book boyfriends in both the stories she reads and writes. Her novels blend romance with suspense, morally gray characters, and emotional depth, promising stories where the path to a happily ever after is never easy—but always worth the journey.
When she isn't writing, you'll find her working through an ever-growing TBR, enjoying summers by the water with a good book, driving New England's back roads on crisp autumn evenings, or sipping an iced matcha latte while dreaming up her next story.
