Kurzbeschreibung
Ah, España....
Taylor Monroe arrives in Spain with a single goal, bring his wayward, globetrotting brother, Dan, home to New York—preferably on the next flight. Dan, Taylor believes, needs some long overdue lessons in responsibility. Past time his kid brother put down roots. But he arrives at Dan’s ramshackle apartment on the Mediterranean to find it empty, except for a tall blond woman with an unflinching blue gaze who’s gifted in languages, and as his ego quickly discovers, Karate.
Willow Desmond has spent years kicking around Europe, living exactly the kind of life Taylor views as irresponsible and scattered. But while he sees it as living without purpose, Willy knows it’s the most purposeful thing she’s ever done. She is bold, fearless, resourceful, and independent to the max. And when she sizes up the tall, handsome Taylor Monroe, she’s quick to decide he’s everything she distrusts in a man; smooth, arrogant, rich—and controlling.
Too bad they’re stuck with each other until Dan comes back.
Too bad flint on stone makes sparks.
Too bad those sparks start a fire neither one of them knows how to put out.

I loved visiting Spain, and I loved writing this book. It's my hope that ONE TOUGH COOKIE will make you smile. It might even get you thinking about exactly how much a person is prepared to change--or not--when they fall in love, and that once-in-a-lifetime love requires compromise.
