Heart-stopping action…and heartwarming romance!

Rebecca Reed and Bill (Mac) MacKenzie have nothing in common…except their desire to run the Yukon Quest.

She''s an experienced musher who knows only too well how humbling the northern landscape can be. She understands that the Quest–from Whitehorse, in the Yukon, to Fairbanks, Alaska, across a thousand miles of frozen trails–will take every ounce of strength and skill.

He''s a cheechako, who doesn''t know a dog harness from a doghouse. He''s come north for a year to take care of his brother''s dog team–and to escape his past. To Rebecca, his decision to run the Quest is not only arrogant, it''s dangerous.

Race day arrives, and Mac and Rebecca struggle against the harsh elements. One night, in a fierce snowstorm, Rebecca and her team are blown over the mountain, and only the courage of the cheechako–the man she''s beginning to love–can save her.
