Walk of Shame

Love, Money & Shoes #1

by Emma Lea

*This is a revised edition* A cheating fiancé, a one night stand, and a lost Jimmy Choo…

 After Claire Bower, a sensible and practical bakery owner, finds her fiancé of five years in bed with another woman, she kicks him to the curb with a face slap, some cathartic personal property destruction and a few choice words, then heads to Melbourne for some well-deserved retail therapy and decadent food indulgences. She never expected to wake up in a strange (but luxurious) hotel room with a total blank of what had happened the night before. She also didn’t expect to spend the following night in the company of  the charming, delicious and swoon-worthy  Ben Donovan.  Her short stint in Australia’s food and wine capital has her meeting not one, but two exciting men who see her as more than the plain and boring Claire she has always thought herself to be.
 When Claire returns to her ‘real life’ on the Sunshine Coast, she finds herself torn between two men, one a mysterious stranger she cannot for the life of her remember, but has nonetheless started a strange but fun text relationship with; and the other, a dreamy, sweet and ridiculously rich Brisbane lawyer who seems to adore her. If that’s not bad enough, she is also on a mission to save her floundering business and finds herself the object of affection for an obsessed stalker.  Maybe being a ‘plain Jane’ wasn’t so bad after all.

About the author

I am a business owner, artist, cook, mother and wife. I live on the beautiful Sunshine Coast in Queensland, Australia with my wonderful husband, two beautiful sons, a dog and a cat (both of which are female because, hey, we needed to balance all that testosterone!)

I am a ferocious reader with eclectic tastes and have always wanted to write, but never had the opportunity due to one reason or another (excuses, really) until finally taking the bullet between my teeth in 2014 and just making myself do it.

I love to write stories with heart and a message and believe in strong female characters who do not necessarily have to be aggressive to show their strength.
