Twenty-something Liberty (Libby) Lawrence has a passion for fashion, a penchant for shoes and an uncanny knack of finding trouble Libby's new job as a reporter for the Daily Chronicle is proving quite challenging for the following reasons: Number 1: Her mentor, Dave Chandler, likes to run everywhere which means she has to do the same. Her Karen Millens are already ruined and her new Kurt Geigers are heading the same way. Everyone else gets to take taxis or the Tube. Surely that counts as discrimination or something? Number 2: None of the girls in the news room seem to like her--even though they've never even met her It's just plain rude--and very hurtful And Number 3: Dave Chandler is a bit odd--and that's without the running thing. He's very proud of all his trophies and awards but won't help Libby get any. He won't divulge who his contacts are--although some of them sound a bit iffy--and he keeps sneaking off without her despite the fact she's supposed to be shadowing him. Cassie Beaumont, her bestie and flatmate, is doing really well in her new job, which only makes Libby feel worse about her own. Cassie and Rob are also really close, which is how Libby wants to be with James Harper--she fancies the pants off him-- but he seems very distracted. She realises it's time for sorting out her life and stepping it up--in more ways than one

Liberty 'Libby' Lawrence adores designer labels - even though she can't afford many. And she especially loves shoes. Her favourites are Christian Louboutins - though not those fake ones Bianca Morrison-Wright gets from the market (the red paint rubs off the soles and everything )She's working as a manager (albeit junior manager) at a London hotel, when the boss announces that there has been a theft from his office. Libby couldn't help noticing some strange marks on his carpet when she was called in for a reprimand recently (not that it was her fault, or anything) which lead her to surmise who the thief is.Detective Sergeant James Harper, the hunky policemen who is assigned the case, seems interested in her theory - until she names her number one suspect. Libby is devastated, not only because he doesn't believe her but - more importantly - that this guy knows NOTHING about shoes As Libby struggles to convince the sergeant that her hunch is right, her boss that she's ready for promotion and herself that she's not really falling for the gorgeous copper, she realises that maybe she's wrong about the theft, she's not suited to the hotel industry and that the handsome hunk is married

Never dismiss a lovely shoe just because you can't run in it - buy the shoe and walk instead Libby has problems. BIG problems.She wants to move in with James - honestly - but she can't tell Cassie that she's leaving, especially when her bestie starts acting oddly and announces she wants to spend more time with her.James thinks he sees Libby kiss another guy - how can she prove to him it's not what it looks like? It's actually much worse And when Libby tries to help her friend Fran, who seems to have even more humungous problems that Libby - if that's possible - she lands herself not only in deep trouble, but also in grave danger.Will Libby ever convince James that she's not trying to keep secrets from him? Can James persuade Libby to tell him when something's wrong?And how can Libby possibly fit all her shoes into the tiny wardrobe in James's flat?
