"fun Feet First contemporary romance"
In Atlanta fickle Brooke Tarantino, great-granddaughter of
the founder of Bellagio Shoes, publicly dumps advertising
contractor Walker Gordon at the altar. Good friend,
Bellagio public relations specialist Trina Roberts sits at
a bar drinking with Walker when after a ton of alcohol,
they share a night of sex. Walker relocates to Paris to
allow the public humiliation to pass while over nine
months later Trina, not informing him, gives birth to a
daughter Maddie with only the medical staff by her side. To insure his firm keeps the Bellagio account Walker
returns to Atlanta. He remains unaware that he is a
father of a six month old girl though Trina knows she
should tell him but remembers his babbling about the
Gordon Curse that means men with his DNA fail at
fatherhood. Trina does not want anything from Walker
except secretly inside her heart she knows she would die
for his love. Working together at work, Walker is stunned
when Trina tells him and he does not believe her at first,
but begins to want more from her as he finds immense
pleasure holding Maddie. UNDERFOOT, the sequel to the fun Feet First contemporary
romance is a delightful tale starring two likable
characters whose relationship changes over time. Walker
is a terrific person who once he recovers from the public
slam dunk returns home to insure that his company keeps
the Bellagio Shoes account, as he knows he cannot afford
to do otherwise. Trina is a brave soul as she revises her
plans to include a baby, knows her mom will object, and
expects the father will never want her or the child
though she owed Walker the truth when she learned she was
pregnant. Fans will appreciate this fine contemporary tale. Harriet Klausner

SummaryBellagio, Inc. public relations genius Trina Roberts had
been a bad, bad girl when she'd gone to bed with a recently
jilted groom and wound up pregnant. She knew Walker Gordon
wasn't looking for forever—at least not with her. So
when he took a job overseas, she sort of neglected to tell
him about the baby on the way.
Well, now he's back...and he's just figured out the truth.
Walker had been reeling from a very public breakup when
Trina had offered solace he couldn't deny. He'd never
expected the result would make him somebody's daddy! Trina
claimed not to need anything from him, but he was determined
that his child have a father; he just didn't know if it
should be him. Because a father's shoes...well, those he
wasn't sure he could fill.
