Who is your neighbor, sir? The Bourbon heir to the throne? The devil, you say! (He was!)

 

The things you learn writing Regency romance?
Here is the house in London at 72 S. Audley Street where the immigrant and refugee from the TERROR, Bourbon Comte d'Artois, lived just houses away 1805-1814 from my hero and heroine in Lord Halsey's Tempestuous Minx, who reside at 16 S. Audley! 
They should visit, shouldn't they? But only if our hero and heroine like this man.
Truly, most didn't.
Not even the French who had him as their king for 6 years, then revolted again and forced him out. Known as Charles X, this fellow was charming to his friends, but politically he was a reactionary, reversing so many of the changes wrought by the revolutions of 1789, and the various dictates of those rulers who succeeded the monarchy. 
 

Lord Halsey's Tempestuous Minx
is c
oming soon to your tablet!
