A new IR romantic suspense by LaVerne Thompson.

If we work together can we still sleep together?

Kayla's world is turned upside down: first she's fired from the bank she's worked at for fifteen years. Then on the same day rehired by the new bank president, a man she's got the hots for, but he's her boss and he's got the hots for her, too. Until he find out his bank's been robbed and Kayla's somehow involved.

Talbert Reynolds III isn't at the top of the financial world because he shied away from risks, and pursuing Kayla could be one of the biggest risks of his life. But she's worth it... Or is she?

  1. Happy Release Day LaVerne!!!

    I loved the trailer and the excerpt and I know this book is going to be your biggest seller yet!!!

    You've had a really busy 2009 and it looks like this year is going to be something too. Tell us a little bit about your books and how you got into writing.

  2. Hi AI- Thank you for having me.

    Writing is just something I've always done, for as long as I can remember. I'm just blessed I have an opportunity to write about the characters running around in my head. LOL

    This particular story Chances Are started because a few things happened about the same time a friend lost her job, I had to take a cab, and there was a short news story about an electronic id theft. I put it all together and Kayla and Tal were born. LOL

    And yes 2009 was a very busy year for me. I don't think this year will be quite as busy, but you never know. I'm working on 2 other full-length works right now that will be a little more time consuming. Most of my work has been in the contemporary genre, sometimes with a little intrigue or suspense, which I love. And I still have a ton of things I need to finish there, but my passion is really the fantasy world. So I'm world building right now and to do it right that takes time.

  8. Happy release day! This sounds really good, it's going on my wish list. Is it pretty heavy suspense or more romance? I read the excerpt and loved the connection between your hero and heroine.

    Best of luck with it!

  13. I absolutely love the cover of your book--what a hottie! With so much coming up on the writing front and your busy home life, how do you manage your writing time so well and what do you do to relax (actually maybe your prize of a spa massage kit is part of how you spend your downtime)?

    And as a huge paranormal/fantasy fan I'm happy to know that you plan on writing more books in that genre.

  14. Congrats on the new release. I really enjoyed Hold On so I'm sure I'll enjoy Chances Are.

  15. Hi Joder- Thank you. I write whenever I can. Right now the dog is sleeping on my lap while I type at my desk. You should check out Day In The Sun it's a sci/fi futuristic romance. And yes I actually have more fantasy stuff in my WIP folder than contemporary.

    Yolanda- I'm glad to hear that. Chances Are is more along the lines of Hold On. The ride just starts slower. LOL
