Heart-stopping actionâĻand heartwarming romance!
Rebecca Reed and Bill (Mac) MacKenzie have nothing in commonâĻexcept their desire to run the Yukon Quest.
Sheâs an experienced musher who knows only too well how humbling the northern landscape can be. She understands that the Questâfrom Whitehorse, in the Yukon, to Fairbanks, Alaska, across a thousand miles of frozen trailsâwill take every ounce of strength and skill.
Heâs a cheechako, who doesnât know a dog harness from a doghouse. Heâs come north for a year to take care of his brotherâs dog teamâand to escape his past. To Rebecca, his decision to run the Quest is not only arrogant, itâs 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 cheechakoâthe man sheâs beginning to loveâcan save her.
