What happens when love shows up at the exact moment you weren’t looking for it?
In His Shoes: Cubicle by Candlelight is a sensual, heartfelt, and imaginative workplace romance about second chances, self-discovery, and the courage to want more.
Ava didn’t plan on falling in love this summer. Recently divorced and facing her first quiet season alone while her son heads off to camp, she expects solitude — not sparks. But when an unexpected office romance with Malik begins to unfold, Ava finds herself awakening parts of herself she thought were long buried.
Then things get… magical.
A mysterious encounter with a witch-doctor-like stranger introduces a charm that allows Ava to literally step into Malik’s shoes — seeing the world through his eyes. What follows is a playful, emotional, and perspective-shifting journey that deepens their connection and challenges everything Ava thought she knew about love, gender, power, and herself.
Blending romance, magical realism, and multicultural storytelling, this story celebrates Black beauty in all its richness — from curves and confidence to culture and complexity. It’s a love story that embraces growth, vulnerability, and the boldness it takes to lead — in life, in love, and in the workplace.
