This is book 7 in the K-9 Files series and it features Carter and Hailey. She is his best friends sister and has been attracted to her for the past 10 years. Haley has loved Carter since she was a teenager but didn’t believe he held any attraction towards her. He even married and divorced another woman. Being rejected twice, once when she professed her teenage crush to him and the second time was when he married another woman, has made Haley a little hostile towards him. After Carter’s career as a Navy SEAL ended with a medical discharge, he’s returned to Montana to hunt down War Dog, Matzuka. What Carter finds is a town so overrun with one family that murder and mayhem are taking over.

The action, suspense and romance in this story line are fantastic! It’s the perfect blend. This is my favorite in the series so far. I can’t wait for the next one.
