THE UPPITY EARL is a Regency Romance novel set in London. It is the story of a young lady who was born in England but who grew up in American. When her mother passes away, she returns to England to escape the tyranny of a cruel stepfather; and to do her utmost to reform the child labor laws of her birth country. Harrison Belmour, the fifth Earl of Penwyck, and member of the House of Lords, is the very sort of influential gentleman Tessa wishes to impress with her plea. But a more self-righteous man Tessa has never met! The uppity 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.

Harrison Belmour is having the devil of a time controlling the deplorable behavior of his mother's houseguest, the auburn-haired, spectacle-making young lady from America. The stubborn chit simply will not take direction and the last thing the aristocratic Belmour 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 young lady, even if he continues to reflect on what a perfect countess she would make!
