Lily Munroe thought she had married an honest, dependable man, but she
was painfully mistaken. It didn’t take long for her once-loving husband
to become a secretive stranger–mixing with shady people and even
shadier dealings. Although Lily nursed him through a sudden terminal
illness, her marriage was over long before he passed away. During that
difficult time, only her passion for the exhilarating Iditarod race
across Alaska gave her something to look forward to–and she channeled
her emotions into training dogs for the grueling event. Now single
again, she’s more determined than ever to win the race, awaken her
sense of self, and leave her past behind.
In the competition, the
person to beat is two-time winner Derek Wright, a man Lily dubs Mr.
Wrong. Extremely sexy and devilishly charming, Derek is the consummate
playboy. Or is he? Although Lily can’t deny her intense attraction, she
believes he is dangerous to her scarred heart. Little does she know
that Derek is an elite antiterrorism agent–or how desperately she’ll
need to depend on his skills to keep her alive once the race is under
way
