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!

Libby can’t believe her luck when she lands the job in the fashion section of ‘Woman Matters’ the Chronicle’s female supplement. She also can’t believe how horrid her new boss, Valerie Fulton-Coombes is.She’s thrilled to be set to work on a new personalised clothing collection until she realises its poor quality – which would have been apparent even if she hadn’t accidentally torn one of the tops. Valerie, however, seems besotted by the clothes, and even more besotted by the designer, George Clooney look-alike, Quinton Bellis.Libby digs out some information about Bellis and his company which Valerie would rather not hear. When a similar hoodie to that in the collection is significant in an attempted kidnap, Valerie is devastated – especially as she’d misunderstood the reason for the police’s visit and blurted out a lot of personal incriminating information they didn’t need to hear and she certainly didn’t need to confess.Things go from bad to worse when Valerie and Libby realise someone wants them dead. Can James help this time? Can anyone save them? And is it wise to put all your faith in a shoe when lives are at stake – even if it is a Louboutin?

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!
