Lily Munroe thought she had married an honest, dependable
man, but she was painfully mistaken. It didnβt take long
for her once-loving husband to become a secretive strangerβ
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 toβand she channeled her emotions into training
dogs for the grueling event. Now single again, sheβs 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 canβt deny her intense attraction, she
believes he is dangerous to her scarred heart. Little does
she know that Derek is an elite antiterrorism agentβor how
desperately sheβll need to depend on his skills to keep her
alive once the race is under way.
