"This romance novel set in Regency-era Kent will make you swoon. Joss Doomsday is a scoundrel to some and a leader to others. His livelihood as a smuggler is put at risk with the arrival of Sir Gareth Inglis. Gareth grew up feeling abandoned and unloved, but now has a baronetcy to manage. Tensions rise and sparks fly. If you’re an audiobook person, Martyn Swain’s narration is a balm for the soul. And if you want more Doomsday romance, the sequel, A Nobleman’s Guide to Seducing a Scoundrel, came out in September."
