Trail of the Brave (Call of the Wild)

A father who trusts no one, a woman who's stopped trusting herself, and a dog everyone has written off--they're a seven-year-old girl's only hope. When legendary Iditarod musher Wilder Frost collapses on her porch, veterinarian Stormi White must face her self-doubt. She's spent years trying to be everything to everyone, but she's certain she's failed. Even her own dog, Rome, a former K9 cadaver dog who lost his scent, is just one more thing she couldn't fix. Or so she believes. Wilder has one rule: Keep everyone at arm's length. It's how he's kept his seven-year-old daughter, Luna, alive while staying one step ahead of the men who murdered his wife. But when his past finally catches up and Luna vanishes into the frozen wilderness, Wilder is forced to put her life in the hands of a woman he barely knows--and a dog no one believes in. As a killer closes in and a storm descends, Stormi, Wilder, and Rome race across treacherous Alaskan terrain in a desperate search for Luna. But the deadliest distance isn't measured in miles--it's the space between their hearts. What if the only way to save Luna is to risk the one thing they swore they'd never lose--each other?
