The right pair of shoes can make you feel confident, sexy, and able to easily strut your stuff. Shoes from hiheelia.com will literally knock them dead…

A Rose by Any Other Name – Lisa Cach

Kelsey Safire is doing what she loves best, pulling weeds from the garden of her newest landscaping project. Of course, if she’d known the house’s owner was home and asleep behind the open bedroom window, she might have thought twice about the death threats that were spewing from her lips and how they might be misinterpreted. Seriously jet-lagged after flying all night from Japan, Jack Lovgren is pulled from sleep by an angry voice. Little did he know that a bad tempered goat, some slugs, and a pair of high heels would completely change his life.

Kelsey isn’t the most "with it" of women. Truth be told, she’s awkward, especially around men. But, she’s just ordered a pair of shoes that are guaranteed to change her life and image. Is it possible to be jealous of yourself? In A Rose by Any Other Name, a social misfit is transformed into the woman she’s always wanted to be, but she learns a valuable lesson in being careful what you wish for. A sexy and funny romance that readers will enjoy to the very end.

So I Dated An Axe Murderer – Gemma Halliday

Plain Jane Kya Bader knew as soon as she saw the shoes on the HiHeelia website that she had to have them. Her regular life includes her cat and her IT job, but those shoes...those shoes called for something else. Suddenly, after a night of wild partying in her new heels, Kya has the unexpected opportunity of participating in a modeling shoot. Even better, the male model she was drooling over on the HiHeelia site is her partner on the job. Before she knows it, Kya has fallen into a new life. But that life seems to be one that used to be owned by Angel, an up-and-coming young model who drowned a few months ago. Was her death really an accident, or should Kya start watching her own back?

One of the ultimate female fantasies comes true for Kya Bader as she’s ‘discovered’ by a modeling agent on her first night clubbing. But everything comes with a price as Kya quickly discovers in So I Dated An Axe Murderer. A fresh and intriguing mystery ties this romance together into an entertaining and standout tale.

And They Danced – Melanie Jackson

Faith Fleetwood is still trying to convince her family that she is not suffering the ill-effects of a broken engagement even as she wonders where her dating life is taking her. Thing is, there is a man in her life, if Faith is willing to take a chance. The dance competition Avel has invited her to participate in might just be that opportunity, if only she had the right clothes and shoes. When a pair of mysterious high heels arrives at her home from HiHeelia.com, Faith is suspicious, but it doesn’t look like any fraud has been perpetrated, though hallucinations of dancing with Fred Astaire are a bit concerning. Does Faith have a little faith??

A sweet tale of salsa and rumbas ensues between Avel and Faith in And They Danced. The shoes give Faith the courage to take a chance, but she grabs the opportunity with both hands and leaps in whole-heartedly with Avel there to catch her.

Three women and three pairs of shoes take center stage in THESE BOOTS WERE MADE FOR STRUTTING. But ultimately, as stated in the excerpt, the real magic happens when the shoes come off.
