In the tradition of Georgette Heyer and Jane Austen, MISS DARBY'S DEBUT by Marilyn Clay is clean, sweet and wholesome. Tessa Darby was born in England but grew up in American. Now she's returned to England to escape the tyranny of a cruel stepfather and to try to reform the child labor laws of her birth country. The very sort of influential gentleman Tessa hopes to meet is the Earl of Penwyck. But a more top-lofty and 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 auburn-haired, spectacle-making young lady from America. The stubborn chit 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. But, he 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!" – Melissa Frederick.
"Ms. Clay handles social reform issues in Regency England with aplomb! A perfect blend of romance, and humor with a captivating plot."–Red River Reviews.
