Half-Indian cop, recovering from a horrific event when his partner died; wannabe FBI field agent girl-next-door; princess and bodyguard masquerade. There were a few too many threads in this one - Hawk's trauma, Laurie's ambition, the masquerade (though she only once wondered if he was attracted to her or to the princess), the real danger and the irritation/attraction between them kept getting crossed up. Which Hawk acknowledges once, near the end. Not bad, not one of my favorites. 3 3/4 stars! ( )
