Stiletto Season by LaShelle L. Turner
The holidays are once again a busy time for Pilar Webster. Her addiction to fabulous designer heels pales in comparison to her addiction to wreaking havoc every Christmas season.

This year, she must plan the annual Christmas/Birthday party of her new boss, PR legend Sheba Lowell, while trying to steal her boss’ much younger famous fiancé, filmmaker, Roman Foster.
Last year after almost ruining her best friend’s holiday nuptials by sleeping with the groom, Pilar was forced to leave Birmingham, Alabama in shame. Luckily, shoe connoisseur Pilar gets her dream PR job in a new city of Miami, but her old man-stealing ways come back as she tries to steal yet another very much engaged man. She schemes to gain her boss’ trust and plans to not only steal her man but to get a fabulous promotion.
But a ghost of Christmas past, her old partner in deceit and lover Lucius, turns up to ruin her well-heeled plans. Can Pilar turn from her old ways of causing Christmas mayhem with the help of a handsome angel in the flesh by the name of Tristan? Can his joyful spirit keep her from once again ending up on the naughty list?
