author: Simmons, Trana Mae
description: Before she gets married, Laura wants to race her huskies across Alaska, and hires Sandy, in desperate need of a job, who accepts the position to train her dogs and realizes that she is his kindred spirit.
  
  Laura Goodman wants one last opportunity to race her new breed of huskies before settling down as a wife. Her sights set on the Iditarod, Laura knows she needs the help of Sandy Montdulac, the best sled dog trainer alive.
  
  Sandy knows the grueling Iditarod is no place for a woman and an untested breed of dogs. But he needs Laura Goodman's money. Forced to flee Alaska to stop his rich in-laws from taking his child, Sandy vows to keep it 'all business' with Miss Goodman.
  
  Laura is well-prepared for the riggers of training and the backlash from fellow mushers. She didn't plan on falling for the tight-lipped Sandy and his little girl.
  
  But for as much as Laura's laughter and beauty breathes life into Sandy's world, Laura wasn't raised to live life on the run. He will take his little girl and leave when the race starts.
  
  Hero: Sandy Mondulac
  Heroine: Laura Goodman
  Until Laura proves him wrong.
