Left with Shoes Lela Alize

Mallory's life as Principal Jonathan Brazen's wife looks idyllic to outsiders who know nothing of the disappointment she lives with. When Jonathan walks out, demanding a divorce after twenty-one years of marriage, she is alone for the first time in her adult life. At least she has incredible shoes. After months of unemployment, Mallory teeters on the brink of desperation until she lands a job as a travel agent and scores an elite client, Morgan Engineering. Her life is finally coming together until an unthinkable error threatens to make her unemployed again unless a face-to-face meeting with the owner-young, handsome, billionaire entrepreneur Heath Morgan-can salvage the account. But Heath has other things on his mind. Giving in to him comes at a risk to her new independence. Heath is willing to grant Mallory anything except what she most desires. Will she settle for less? Despite his betrayal, when tragedy strikes Jonathan, her ex-husband, Mallory feels obligated to support him which threatens to derail her new life. Will she run back to the man she thought she had finally left behind? Left with Shoes is the first installment of Mallory Hooker's second coming-of-age journey. It is recommended for those 18 years and older due to sexual content.
