But Mandy is hardly faint of heart-proven time and again on a journey fraught with deadly adventure and sublime temptation. Travis Langley, know by his Indian name, Hawk, is a white man raised by the Cheyenne, a man trying to make peace with his dual heritage. The last thing he needs is a job chaperoning Julia Ashton, the California governor's spoiled daughter. But Mandy-posing as Julia- is spirited, captivating and irresistibly sensuous.
