So he stayed away from Montana, where his best friend lived…and his best friend’s sister. Until Geir and Cade ask Carter to check up on a dog delivered to a small town close by, but the dog never arrived.

My yearly gift-wrapping fundraiser gets a lot of volunteers. But I’ve never had helpers like these three guys. Riley, Harper, and Logan are rangers for the National Parks Service.
