There's no place for pride in this Austen misadventure. Chloe Parker was born two centuries too late. A thirty-nine-year- old divorced mother, she runs her own antique letterpress business, is
a lifelong member of the Jane Austen Society, and gushes over
everything Regency. But her business is failing, threatening her
daughter's future. What's a lady to do?
Why, audition for a Jane Austen-inspired TV show set in England, of
course.
What Chloe thinks is a documentary turns out to be a reality dating
show set in 1812. Eight women are competing to snare Mr. Wrightman, the
heir to a gorgeous estate, along with a $100,000 prize. So Chloe tosses
her bonnet into the ring, hoping to transform from stressed-out Midwest
mom to genteel American heiress and win the money. With no cell phones,
indoor plumbing, or deodorant to be found, she must tighten her corset
and flash some ankle to beat out women younger, more cutthroat, and
less clumsy than herself. But the witty and dashing Mr. Wrightman
proves to be a prize worth winning, even if it means the gloves are
off...
