GUEST POST

I am so happy to welcome Rebecca to fundinmental and share this fun guest post.

Cassie’s shoe collection.

Sex and the City’s Carrie Bradshaw once said, “It’s really hard to walk in a single woman’s shoes-that’s why you sometimes need really special shoes.” Cassie Allbright, my half Cuban ball-busting attorney heroine couldn’t agree more. In HER CLAIM, Cassie’s love affair with shoes rivals that of the one she has with Patrick Dunham—the arrogant, chauvinistic man-whore who has a knack for pissing her off. Cassie’s heels make her feel sexy and confident, from the courtroom to the boardroom to the bedroom. And today I’m gonna take you on a tour of her favorite sole-mates.

She’d always choose her Jimmy Choos

“She stopped to model her favorite glittery pumps. Four-inch heels with a rounded toe and worth every penny. Cassie didn’t mind the bit of extra junk in her trunk—real women had curves and all—but if she was able to offset it with some flashy footwear, she was gonna. She didn’t spend on much. Her apartment was modest and she budgeted the hell out of her salary to afford her mortgage, putting money aside to save for her capital contribution to the firm. Making partner would mean she’d have to purchase her equity share to the tune of a hundred grand, so she kept her expenditures to a minimum. But when it came to shoes, she was Imelda fucking Marcos. If Imelda had gotten all her heels from discount racks and outlet shops, of course.”

Cassie knows how to rock it in her Manolo Blahniks

“Hudson liked pretty things, and Cassie used it to her advantage. She’d put on her best power outfit—pencil skirt, a short-sleeved, fitted, black button-down that showed a bit of cleavage, and her favorite pair of Manolo Blahniks—bought heavily discounted of course. She’d even spritzed on her favorite perfume. It did the trick, making her commanding but sexy as hell at the same time. She needed his attention and respect, but it didn’t hurt to keep him a little distracted.”

Chanel? Hell’s bells!

Cassie wears her classic Chanel pumps to an important meeting at her firm. Everyone in the room has to see her as capable. Everything, everything rides on her ability to be a hardass, no-nonsense, straight-shooting attorney. And what better way to command respect than in some beautiful heels?

She also has a pair of Pradas, some gorgeous Alexander McQueen boots, and receives a gift of the coveted, red-heeled Christian Louboutins from Patrick. But my favorite scene is from Cassie’s birthday. She’s bought herself a pair of red satin Gianvito Rossi pumps, and Patrick can’t get enough of her. Here’s a little excerpt from HER CLAIM!

Her Claim
Rebecca Grace Allen
(Legally Bound, #2)
Publication date: April 23rd 2018
Genres: Erotica, Romance

She’s no princess. He’s no prince. Then again, they never wanted a fairy tale.
Legally Bound, Book 2

Cassie Allbright takes no prisoners. A half Cuban ball-busting attorney, she’s too tough to admit what she wants in bed. But tough is the only way to cut it in her high-powered firm, and Cassie doesn’t need a knight in shining armor. And she definitely doesn’t need Patrick Dunham—an arrogant, chauvinistic man-whore with a knack for pissing her off.

Bound to the helm of his family’s publishing house, Patrick is shackled to a life of power and wealth he never wanted. Seduction is his only distraction—his nights of pleasure always temporary, because happily-ever-afters are not for him. But while luring a woman into his bed has always come easy, the high-and-mighty Cassie has never succumbed to his charms.

Their verbal sparring turns to foreplay, but instead of scratching an itch, it only whets their appetites. Patrick gives Cassie a taste of what she’s secretly craved, and Cassie’s dark desires stir up things Patrick never knew he wanted. Enchanted, he offers to fulfill her most dangerous fantasies. She agrees, with an iron-clad escape clause: her heart is off-limits, and so is his.

Funny thing about hearts, though. They have a way of ignoring the fine print.

Warning: This book isn’t for the faint of heart. Disclosure includes angry, vying-for-control hate sex and one steamy weekend in Miami. Ready? Break the caution tape and proceed.
