Brown-Eyed Girl — Grace Jelsnik

After her mother died, Shannon's father wanted nothing to do with the girl he was convinced was the product of adultery. Upon his death, his Montana ranch is sold at auction with a contingency that places his daughter in danger. After years of avoiding matrimony, the highest bidder, Nathan Wyndemere, soon learns he's bought more than Bar E Cattle Ranch; he's bought a lifetime commitment to the exquisite Shannon Daltry. When attempts are made on her life, Nathan must stop whoever is trying to kill her or forever lose the one woman he could love.
