Anna Jeffrey | SWEET RETURN

SWEET RETURN was fun to write. I enjoy creating tough guys who get their
comeuppance when they meet a strong woman. I have found that many tough guys
might appear to be tough and rough on the outside, but they have gentle hearts.
That’s the character I tried to present in the SWEET RETURN hero. Dalton is a
man who has made an occupation of witnessing the worst of humanity, but he
still had a good heart.

The heroine, Joanna, manages to make a living self-employed in a small, rural
community, a challenge all its own. I wanted to create a woman who could equal
Dalton in strength of character and independence. I figured he could never be
happy with a wimpy woman, just as she had never been able to find a successful
relationship with a man weaker than she.
