Spying in High Heels, 1st in some sort of chick-lit mystery/romantic suspense series by Gemma Halliday, is now a free download, courtesy of the author herself.
Halliday was one of those established print authors caught up by the Dorchester royalty non-payment thing, reclaimed her rights and is now e-publishing her backlist herself, available DRM-free and MultiFormat via Smashwords.
I don't know whether this is a temporary promotional freebie or a permanent teaser freebie (probably the former, as the author previously offered this book free with coupon when she first set up at Smashwords), but I can definitely tell you that this book was still full price last week during the Read an E-Book Week sale.
So enjoy it while it lasts, and the rest of her books are 3.99 each if you're interested.
Direct linkage, and description copy-pasted below for the lazy.
