Racing North — Genevieve Montcombroux

Racing North is a romance novel full of passion, adventures, and sled dogs set in the northern reaches of the Yukon and Alaska.

Pat dreams of racing the prestigious Iditarod Trail Race in Alaska. But first, she must hone her dog sledding skills. She signs on as a dog handler for a top racer, Scott Walsh. Having to share a wilderness cabin with him poses unforeseen difficulties. Pat sees glimpses of another man beneath Scott's forbidding exterior and gives him her heart.

A losing steak and unresolved personal problems leaves Scott with a massive chip on his shoulder. Yet under the spell of the vivacious Pat, he wins the Yukon Quest, the toughest long distance race.

When an encounter with a moose sidelines Scott from the Iditarod race, Pat takes his place. She's sure she can win the race, but can she win his love?
