Synopsis
The country estate, masters and servants, mystery and intrigue, sex and money. All go hand in hand in these turn-of-the-century tales of what goes on behind the manor's closed doors. Does the master lure the butler to the phonograph room for a romp behind the sofa, or does the stable boy have a tryst with the footman while the lord longingly watches on? Does the aristocrat drop his foppish manners when the butler helps him undress? And do the classes exchange more than pleasantries when the lamps are dimmed and the ladies retire for the evening?
Rob Rosen has gathered the hottest stories of romance and sex between wealthy aristocrats and the hard-working estate staff, all with a pre-World War I backdrop, including the fashion and art and the latest inventions of the day. War is years way, the estates are huge and sprawling, the fashionably elite have too much time on their hands, while the toiling underclass are always on the lookout for a means to a brighter future - no matter whose bed they end up in. Think Downton Abbey and Upstairs, Downstairs, but with enough sex to make the town vicar blush.

From the Back Cover
"Downton Abbey" meets "Upstairs, Downstairs.".. with enough sex to make the town vicar blush
English country houses, mystery and intrigue, sex and money all go hand in hand in "Men of the Manor," a collection of dizzyingly sexy encounters featuring randy aristocrats, eager stable boys and devoted footmen.
Does the aristocrat drop his grand manners when his manservant helps him undress? What happens behind the gilded door to a decadent party full of squiffy men on the make? And do the upstairs and downstairs chaps exchange more than pleasantries when the lamps are dimmed, the candles snuffed out and the ladies retire for the evening?
Felice Picano s grateful houseboy writes a thank-you note to his patron, which reads like a Victorian Kinsey Report in Folly s Ditch. Landon Dixon s salacious tale of blackmail and passing the queer leads to mutual satisfaction in Chauffeur s Hole. The new driver and an underbutler stick it up their boss s jumper in Logan Zachary s Front Door, Back Door. Rob Rosen has gathered a daring and steamy gallery of wealthy aristocrats and strappingly handsome staff for your reading pleasure.
