His Scandalous Commands

Someone was trying to kill Jake and was willing to hurt innocent bystanders to achieve that goal.  So he headed out of the cities and to his ranch in Montana where he could spot a stranger from miles away.  So what was he to do about the beautiful red-head that came to town the day after his arrival?  Surely this couldn’t be his assassin, he thought.  She didn’t even know how to eat pancakes properly! 

So what was the mission she was here to accomplish?  Who was this mystery woman who couldn’t lie to save her soul but adopted every pathetic creature who limped onto her ranch?
