Close Scrutiny — Pat Dalton

Ordered to take a vacation after nearly being killed in the line of duty, Honolulu-based FBI agent Niera Pascotti joins a cruise of Tahiti, Bora Bora, and other Polynesian islands. Soon, magnetic, alluring Cort Tucker leads her emotions to mutiny against her usual tight control. But Niera doesn't easily let down her guard, or give up her heart, even as her deepest passions threaten to overwhelm her intelligence training and instincts. Cort's too like her former partner for coincidence -- yet like no one else she's ever met! Cort could be an imposter, but his compelling aquamarine eyes seem too crystal clear to be hiding any secrets. He could be keeping her under close scrutiny, but she doesn't mind doing the same. He could be a deadly foe, or her one true love.
