About this ebook
THE UPPITY EARL is a Regency romance set in London, England. An American girl born in London, Tessa Darby returns to England to escape the tyranny of a cruel step-father; and do her utmost to reform the harsh child labor laws of her birth country. The Earl of Penwyck, and member of the House of Lords, is the very sort of influential gentleman Tessa wishes to present her impassioned plea. But a more self-righteous and uppity man Tessa has never met! The exasperating earl simply cannot tolerate a woman interested in politics! If only her narrow-minded nemesis were also not the most educated, principled, and desirable of men.
The Earl of Penwyck is having the devil of a time controlling the deplorable behavior of his mother’s houseguest, the auburn-haired, spectacle-making Miss Darby. The stubborn American girl simply will not take direction and the last thing the aristocratic family needs is another scandal! Still, the earl has to admit there is something refreshingly tantalizing about a beautiful woman who is also intelligent. But, he refuses to believe that he is falling in love with the willful American chit, even if he continues to reflect on what a perfect countess she would make!
“Another unusual plot from the talented pen of Marilyn Clay! I loved both Tessa and the Earl of Penwyck. Readers will laugh aloud at the dance lesson!” – Regency author, Melissa Frederick.
“Ms. Clay handles social reform issues in Regency England with aplomb! A perfect blend of romance, humor and captivating plot.”–Red River Reviews.
