Touch Not My Daughter — Sally Campbell Repass

'Touch Not My Daughter' is the first book in my 'Whisper of Love' series. Gunter Wade, owner of the 'Yellow Rose Ranch' in Austin, Texas, lost his young wife to cancer, leaving him with four-year old Jenna to raise. With the help of a nanny and housekeeper, he was able to overcome the death of his beautiful wife April. Jenna grew into a beautiful young woman with the dream of becoming a veterinarian. Shortly after starting college, calamity struck. It was a tough battle for the entire family. Jenna fell in love with the housekeeper's son but her daddy forbade her to see him. Jenna was strong-willed and disobeyed him, leading him to have a serious talk with Tommy Gonzalez. He and Jenna continued to meet privately at their special place, 'The Rock', until the dreaded secret came out. Then there were decisions to make. Jenna was afraid to face her daddy. Her best friend from college, Allison Tate, stood by her through it all. They had plans to become partners in their very own animal clinic one day. Will their dream come true or will there be too many obstacles?
