THE HYDE PARK SPECTACLE is a Regency Romance novel set in London and tells the story of a young lady born in England but who grew up in America. When her mother passes away, Tessa Darby returns to England to escape her cruel stepfather; and start afresh in 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 meet. But a more self-righteous man Tessa has never met! The stiff-necked earl simply cannot tolerate a woman with an interest in anything beyond parties and new bonnets. 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 young lady 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.
