Synopsis

When Major Rufus d’Aumesty unexpectedly becomes the Earl of Oxney, he finds himself living in a remote Norman manor on the edge of Romney Marsh with his noble, hostile, and decidedly odd family. His position is contested both by his greedy uncle and by unexpected claimant Luke Doomsday, a dashing member of the local smuggling clan. They should be natural enemies, but cocksure, enragingly competent Luke is a secretary by trade and quickly becomes an unexpected ally, the partner Rufus needs...and soon the lover he can't live without. Unfortunately, Luke’s not telling anything like the truth. He came to Stone Manor with an ulterior motive, one he’s hiding even from the lord he can’t resist. And as family secrets unspool on both sides, master and man soon find their positions and their partnership in danger of falling apart…

Because you’re looking after everyone in this house and you ought to have someone thinking of you.” Set thirteen years after the events of it's predecessor, K J Charles returns to the D......more

At a guess, KJC has recently had gothic novels, Northanger Abbey, and "The Cask of Amontillado" poking their heads up out of her subconscious, because Nobleman's Guide has elements of all of these -- as well as a couple of affinities with her own A Thief in the Night and Think of England.
