Illusions — Janet Dailey

Delaney Wescott, a beautiful security expert, is urgently summoned to New York after Lucas Wayne, a rock star turned movie star, is attacked and almost killed in his hotel room. His assailant is Rina Cole, a sultry sex-siren actress - and an old flame - who holds him responsible for her career's plummet. Delaney's first priority is to protect Lucas from Rina. As they head out to the breathtaking snowcapped mountains of Aspen, Colorado, Delaney figures that keeping Lucas safe will be a straightforward case. But the situation is complicated by an anonymous Lucas Wayne fan - a woman who sends him three love letters a week (some with locks of hair, others with romantic presents) and whose psychological profile is growing more disturbing by the minute; it isn't clear just who Lucas's enemies are. Focusing all her attention on her professional responsibilities, Delaney tries to ignore the fact that Aspen happens to be the hometown of the man who broke her heart. When they finally meet again, he throws her for an unexpected loop -just as Delaney begins to wonder whether she and Lucas might share more than a professional relationship. Before Delaney can decide, a horrendous crime is committed behind the Wayne estate - and fingers begin to point to Delaney herself. Has she been set up?
