Pocket Books
Blurb:
FBI agent Elizabeth LeBlanc is still
caught in the aftermath of her last big case when she runs into the one man
from her past who is sure to rock her equilibrium even more. Navy SEAL Derek
Vaughn is back home from a harrowing rescue mission in which he found evidence
of a secret terror cell on US soil. Elizabeth knows he’ll do anything to
unravel the plot—including seducing her for information. And despite the risks
involved, she’s tempted to let him. . . .
On the surface Derek’s offering a
simple deal—Elizabeth provides him with intel, he delivers the terrorist. But
he knows nothing about Elizabeth is easy, and now their volatile relationship
threatens to distract him from the most important mission of his career.
Together with the forensics experts at the Delphi Center, he and Elizabeth are
closing in on the truth, but it may not be fast enough to avert a devastating
impending attack . . . or stop a ruthless enemy from escaping to kill again.

*******************
Laura, Thank you for stopping by Booklover Sue to chat today about your New
Release in the Tracers Series, BEYOND LIMITS.
For New Readers, what is the Tracers
Series about?
The Tracers are an elite
group of forensic experts who help investigators solve their very toughest
cases. The Tracers include all sorts of talented people: Mia the DNA expert,
Ben the cyber detective, Kelsey the forensic anthropologist. The list goes on!
I love writing about these people- not just their work but their tumultuous
personal lives, too.
BEYOND LIMITS is the eighth in the
Tracers Series, when you first started writing, let’s go as far back as THREAD
OF FEAR, did you have ANY idea that the Tracers would become what it is today?
I
had no idea. Originally I had envisioned three books, but the series just kind
of took on a life of its own. I would introduce a new character, then readers
would ask for that character’s story. With each new book I love bringing in new
characters and also catching up with people from past books.
If you could have one of the field
careers that pertain to the Tracer’s team, which would you want for a career?
Well,
I’m fascinated by so much of what the Tracers do. You could say I’m a forensics
junkie! I really love Mia’s job—she’s the DNA expert. I’m also amazed with all
the tricks Ben has up his sleeve. He’s the computer expert who uncovers some
key clues in BEYOND LIMITS.
I know you do a TON of research on the
careers associated with the Tracers Team, do you have a favorite “research
trip” that you can share, or the coolest thing you have gotten to experience
for book research?
The
fictional Delphi Center Crime Lab sits in the middle of a body farm. I’ve had a
chance to visit one, and what they do there is so interesting (if you can get
past being squeamish). It’s amazing to see all the ways that human bones can
tell a story for investigators.
To Date, which is your favorite Tracers
novel and why?
The
books are all so different, so I don’t really have a favorite. I love BEYOND
LIMITS because the story really pushes these characters to their max—both in
their jobs and their personal lives. Derek’s SEAL skills come into play, and
Elizabeth’s sharp investigative instincts. But what I love most is their
relationship struggle. Derek and Elizabeth have to work hard to find their
happy ending.
Is it difficult to come up with fresh
ideas?
I
started out as a newspaper reporter, so I like to keep up with current events.
I’m always getting inspired by headlines and news tidbits. And every time I
interview a new law enforcement person or forensic expert the ideas start
rolling in.
What is the best part about writing
Romance Suspense?
I
like to read tense, exciting stories. With romantic suspense you have the
sexual tension plus the action-adventure plot to drive the story forward. My
favorite books are thrillers where you also feel an emotional connection to the
characters.
I know you are working on the HART &
MORENO Series with the fabulous Allison Brennen, and just released your first
Hard Cover Suspense, FAR GONE, and then of course we have BEYOND LIMITS now
released, so what are you working on currently?
I’m
writing the next Tracers book, SHADOW FALL. This one features some of my
favorite Tracers characters- Mark Wolfe, Kelsey Quinn, Mia Voss. The book’s
hero is Mark’s brother, Liam Wolfe, an ex-Marine who runs a private security
firm and finds himself being investigated for a brutal murder.
Is there anything else you would like to
share with readers?
People
often ask me if you need to read the Tracers books in order, and you don’t .
Each story has a stand-alone mystery and a different romantic couple. So you
can dive right in to the series!
Thank you so much for stopping by to
chat!! Readers, don’t forget to enter to
win a Tracers Book Bundle featuring SCORCHED and TWISTED!
