“A thoroughly entertaining series.” —CosmopolitanA dark foggy night. A big spooky mansion. And a reality TV dating show? It’s not exactly what Ellie Haskell expects to find when she’s stranded near the Yorkshire moors with her husband Ben and plucky sidekick Mrs. Malloy. Even more surprising, Mrs. Malloy gleefully signs on with the other bachelorettes when she learns Lord Belfry is the prize. Why, some women would kill to marry a lord.
