Studio 54
While standing in line at Studio 54, Veronica Bryant is insulted by a man who seems perfect, until he opens his mouth. Both she and Henry Declan immediately see an attraction, but both have reasons to fight it.
When her sister, Darla, and his best friend, Garrett, start dating, it puts them together, and inevitably the unresolved sexual tension results in a torrid but clandestine affair over one weekend on a luxury yacht. After it’s over, Veronica meets Ken Griffin, who has nothing good to say about Declan, reinforcing her need to dislike Declan in spite of the physical attraction.
Imagine Pride and Prejudice set in 1978-79, the height of the disco era. Fitzwilliam Darcy and Elizabeth Bennet have their fateful first encounter at the most exclusive nightclub in Manhattan, Studio 54.
More than the dance floor will be heating up!

About the author
Suzan Lauder
13 books82 followersSomehow the bio is boring. I don't want to talk about me, I want to talk about books. So if you need to see the bio, scroll down. But to really know a bit about me, check out my "Loved It" list. It says a lot. Of course, I have about three times that many books rated at five stars, and they are all very special to me, each in their own way. Some are books others would just rank as "meh" but worked for me, and others are classics that everyone would agree are fantastic. That's what I love about Goodreads: we all get our opinion on something very personal as reading choice. If I write that a book "Should have been 5*," it means it needed editing!
These days, I read very little other than Jane Austen-inspired fiction. Once in a hundred, I'll read a Regency Romance or nonfiction reference for writing. Part of the reason for that is that my health doesn't allow me to read for more than a couple of hours a day, and I have many books in that genre to catch up on.
You won't get newsletters from me, since I hate getting that sort of stuff clogging up my email. You will get chances at freebies and swag every so often through other channels because I love giving stuff away. In fact, I have a free gift for anyone who reads this bio. Email me at suzanlauder at gmail dot com to claim it, and say where you saw the offer.
I'd love feedback of all sorts on my writing, but especially stuff that tells me what I can do to please you, as a reader. Thanks!
Biography:
Saucy opinions like "The person, be it gentleman or lady, who has no pleasure in a good novel must be intolerably stupid." won Suzan Lauder, who thought, "I have to read more by this woman who writes with such snarky humour!" And another Jane Austen fanatic was captured in the clever dead author's net. Austen figures prominently in Lauder's writing, as Pride and Prejudice has inspired all her published fiction.
Lauder's is fascinated with Regency fashion and editing and blogs about it. She lives with Mr. Suze half time on Vancouver Island and in Mexico and their cat joins them in both places.

Set in 1978-79 with lots of hints to the music of the era, non-disco.
