In Phaire's new novel, Blind Delusion, things are not what they appear to be in this multi-layered psychological thriller of murder, obsession, and romance where a lonely clinical psychologist realizes it can be more frightening to reveal her soul than to face death.
Dr. Renee Hayes is immersed in the lives of people living on the edge while she attempts to hide from her true self. But when Dr. Hayes comes face to face with those harboring their own dangerous agendas, she sees the fragility of her own life. No longer in the prime of her youth, Dr. Hayes feels time is running out for her to find the two things she's never really possessed and has always craved, lasting unconditional love and passion in her life.
This is the story of a woman's odyssey in search of her unrecognized source of power and strength. It's about a woman's need to be intellectually, spiritually, emotionally, and sexually fulfilled on her own terms. Through her own mirrored lens, Dr. Hayes peers at the reflection of her spiritually-grounded secretary and learns from her triumph over tragedy, not only how to survive but how to gain the courage to go after what she wants without shame or regret.

Blind Delusion is the second book by Phaire and continues her story of Renee Hayes, a psychotherapist. Phaire has a strong sense of character, and all of them come across full and three-dimensional. Blind Delusion is a strong romantic thriller that successfully blends both genres. Excerpt from Review by San Francisco Book Review
Phaire knows well the nuances of temptation and commitment, and she carefully paces her characters' complicated lives and separate passions. Luckily, she steers clear of mawkishness and excessive melodrama. An inspired, satisfying indulgence for both mystery and romance novel fans.
Excerpt Review by Kirkus Discoveries, Nielsen Business Media
Blind Delusion is a non-stop, action packed novel which captivates from beginning to end. This tale of DC intrigue is a wonderful read for faculty and students alike and would make a wonderful fireside companion providing entertainment and unseen twists from start to finish.
