Plot Summary of Affaire Royale
"When Gabrielle de Cordina awakens in the hospital, she remembers nothing of who she is. Her father the Prince, uncomfortable with the political conspiracy and the fact that her kidnappers remain on the loose, calls in a family friend and security expert, Reeve MacGee. Brie feels that Reeve is the only one to help her because her family is pushing her to remember. But Reeve is interested in more than restoring Brie's memory--and determined not to get involved with a princess."
