A Difficult Woman is the first stand-alone romance by American author, Jeannie Watt. Tara Sullivan has a lot on her plate: a younger brother whose college fees need to be paid; a run-down inn that needs to be renovated in time for the reunion; and a crippling bank debt with a balloon payment due very soon. She also has to try to live down the reputation of dishonesty left by her swindling father. And all while trying to fend off the local hotel proprietor intent on owning her inn by whatever means necessary.

Enter Matt Connors, a Reno cop on leave, ready to use his carpentry skills wherever Tara needs him to. Tara certainly lets him know what is required, but underneath her cool exterior, he is sure she’s one hot woman. Despite the glares, he’s attracted, and can tell she is too. Of course, it would be a bad idea to get involved: Matt can’t stick around, he has unfinished business with his Lieutenant in Reno, and a reputation to restore. This is a sweet, sexy romance with an interesting plot and characters with some depth. An enjoyable read.
