Descripción: Product DescriptionA sparkling 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.After a betrayal derailed her interior design career, Liz Bennet found a fresh start in New York. Now an executive assistant by day and stage kitten by night, she’s discovered a second home with the performers at Meryton, Manhattan’s top-tier burlesque venue. Love’s the last thing on her mind when she locks eyes with Will Darcy across the crowded club, yet the spark between them is undeniable—that is, until she overhears the uptight wealth manager call her merely “tolerable.”Bennet is determined to write Darcy off, but once their 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 accusations against Darcy, and a sudden development leaves Meryton’s fate in jeopardy, Bennet will have to decide who to trust in time to salvage her design dreams, her heart, and the stage she shares with her found family…ReviewOne of PopSugar's 12 Enticing New Romance Reads for November 2021One of Life Savvy's Best New Books November 2021One of The Nerd Daily's November 2021 Book ReleasesOne of Buzzfeed's Best Books of November"Pride and Prejudice gets a modern makeover in A Certain Appeal." —PopSugar"[A] sparkling, steamy tale." —Women's World“If you’ve ever wondered what Pride and Prejudice would look like in the world of modern burlesque, this romance from Vanessa King is for you!” —Life Savvy"A burlesque Pride & Prejudice retelling?
