The Uppity Earl - A Regency Romance

This is an Apple Books audiobook narrated by a digital voice based on a human narrator.

In the tradition of Georgette Heyer and Jane Austen, THE UPPITY EARL by best-selling author Marilyn Clay is a clean, sweet, traditional Regency Romance. Miss Tessa Darby was born in England but grew up in America. Now she has returned to England to escape the tyranny of a cruel stepfather and to try to reform the harsh child labor laws of her birth country. Harrison Belmour, the Earl of Penwyck is the very sort of influential gentleman Tessa wishes to impress with her plea. But a more self-righteous man she has never met!

Lord Penwyck is having the devil of a time controlling the deplorable behavior of his mother's houseguest, the lovely, auburn-haired, spectacle-making young lady from America. The stubborn yound lady 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 principled and intelligent. Yet, he stubbornly refuses to believe he is falling in love with the willful young lady, 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!"
