High Heels Mysteries Short Stories/Novellas
From New York Times, USA Today, and #1 Kindle Bestselling author Gemma Halliday: Web designer Kya Badder is as Plain-Jane as they come. So, when she sees an ad for a impractically gorgeous pair of red heels on Maddie Springer's wesbite, where the model is everything Kya isn't - beautiful, confident and sexy - she can't help buying them. And can't help doing a little strutting around town in them. Suddenly, thanks to her fab footwear, Kya's caught up in a new whirlwind life - a modeling contract of her own, a gorgeous boyfriend, and a life in the fast lane. It's almost as if she's stepped right into that sexy model's life. But when Kya begins having strange dreams and learns that the model died under mysterious circumstances, she learns to be careful what she wishes for, as the killer threatens to strike again. Note: Previously published as "Haunted" and "So I Dated an Axe Murderer" in the anthology "These Boots Were Made for Strutting".
