Paranormal romance that I've totally forgotten the title but loved the book.

I'm looking for a book about a half fae half were'. (This book follows a lot of tropes so bear with it please.) She's taken by two men one turning out to be her cousin the other a family friend she learns of her heritage falls for the other shifter and subsequently gets kidnapped. The shifter she falls for is I believe a leopard half breed with different colored eyes. And the way that her cousin proves his case is by shifting in front of her.

War bride book read around 1982

Not sure why this book popped in my head tonight on my way back home...but it did. I wish the title had, too.

It was a hardcover book that didn't appear too new. The story was told in an interesting shade of third person in that you knew what she was thinking but no one else. I think the husband's name was John. He sent her to his mother upon learning of their child. She tried to be helpful to her mother-in-law but the language barrier was strong.

She worried greatly for their child's future and what the right path would be as she had observed others in similar situations.

I thought the book had the word "Pearl" in the title but then I remembered that the school librarian recommended Pearl S Buck books to me based on my interest in this one. I wish I could remember more.
