A CERTAIN APPEAL
A sparkling rom-com and contemporary retelling of Pride and Prejudice set in the tantalizing world of New York City burlesque, perfect for fans of The Kiss Quotient and The Roommate.
Executive assistant by day and sultry stage kitten by night, Liz Bennet is a woman of many talents. Unfortunately, finding love has never been one of them. Yet when Bennet locks eyes with Will Darcy across the crowded floor at Meryton, Manhattan's top-tier burlesque club, the sparks between them are undeniable--that is, until she overhears the uptight wealth manager call her merely "tolerable."
Slighted, Bennet decides to channel her wounded pride into getting her interior design career back on track. Meryton is in desperate need of a revamp and it could give her the push she needs to move past the incident that left her confidence severely bruised. But when Bennet and Darcy's besties fall head-over-heels, they're thrown into each other's orbit again and again. What's more, when a charming newcomer arrives on the scene with incriminating evidence against Darcy and a personal stake in Meryton's ownership, Bennet's allegiances are split. Despite the swirling rumors, each encounter with Darcy is more heated than the last, and Bennet will have to decide whether their chemistry is enough to topple that terrible first impression--and save the stage where she feels most at home.
Vanessa King is a writer living in Colorado. She has honed her craft with instruction courses including Gotham Writers' Workshop and Seattle's Hugo House, and also spent two years in the NYC burlesque scene. A Certain Appeal is her debut novel and love letter to the dynamic, sexy world of body glitter and eyelash glue.
