It’s 1981. Twenty-four-year-old Julia Nash has recently
arrived in enticing but edgy Manhattan, where rent is cheap and being young and
gifted is enough to get ahead. Witty, hard-working and intelligent, Julia is
determined to make her mark in book publishing, and dreams of being an editor.
Her greatest fear is having to return, tail between her legs, to her small
hometown where her mother is waiting to say “I told you so”.
Julia likes to blow off steam by going dancing downtown with
her best friend, Vicky. One night, a famous bad-boy British guitarist invites
them into his VIP section. Despite an entourage of models and groupies, Jack
seems to pursue Julia—but she isn’t interested in a one-night-stand with an
arrogant rock star. Intrigued by her resistance, Jack persists, and they get to
know each other through their mutual love of music. When the two finally do
come together, the built-up heat is lightning-hot.
Jack exposes Julia to the trappings of fame and fortune,
from mind-bending recording sessions to mind-wasting backstage parties; from
gritty SoHo punk-rock clubs, to luxurious hotel rooms barraged by screaming
fans. Yet Julia is afraid to lose her heart to someone with such a shady past. As
she fends off her grabby boss and tries to move up the corporate ladder, Julia’s
tempestuous relationship with Jack takes her to heights she’s never known—and
plunges her into depths she’s never dreamed of.
Sensual and captivating, Come
Dancing recalls the vibrant fashion and music milieu in a time of leather
skirts, rubber bracelets, bright punk colors, and funky street earrings. With a
fascinating inside look at publishing, this entertaining story of a bookish
young woman’s adventures with a rock superstar is hilarious, moving, and
toe-curlingly steamy.
