Almost perfect

HELP! Footloose cowboy Jake Meredith was perfect at rabble-rousing and rodeo riding.

But when instant parenthood befell him, he was scared spitless of failing as a father for his tiny orphaned niece and nephew.

Where to turn for help? YOU'VE GOT A FRIEND Where else but to Maggie Templeton, the gangly, freckled best friend of his youth?
