Delaney Wescott's agency is hired to protect actor Lucas Wayne after former lover Rina Cole enters his hotel room with a gun. From New York filming sessions to the relatively laid back home ground of Aspen, Colorado, Lucus comes across as a charmer, though Delaney seems almost immune to this good looking actor's charms.

Delaney runs into an old flame while in Aspen, and flashbacks fill in layers of detail. Delaney Wescott is a professional woman, but she has feelings of wanting love like every woman. Having been burned by Jared once, will her co-worker and friend, Riley, keep her in touch with what's truly important in life?

leisurely reading. I enjoyed the author's descriptive detail, and her finesse in switching from one scene to the next. The novel is part mystery and part romance.

reading this book in large print. The large print copy has 477 pages, but is very easy on the eyes.

that when I was getting involved in the mystery part of the story, that's when the romantic sub-plot became more detailed.

that a woman is part work, part play, and many illusions of what is expected of her.

it's nice light reading. Part mystery and part romance give this novel a nice mix of flavor.

Leisurely reading for fun, or for an example of how to construct a very readable novel.
