Chloe Parker is a divorced mom in Chicago who loves Jane Austen. When she gets the chance to be part of a documentary in England about life during the Regency period, she jumps at the chance. However, she is dismayed to find, upon her arrival, that the "documentary" is really a Regency version of The Bachelor and she is one of the women vying for the hand of rich heir Sebastian Wrightman--and a $100,000 prize. So begins the lively romp, Definitely Not Mr. Darcy.
Chloe soon learns that life in Regency England was not exactly what she expected.And that life for women was a lot more precarious than she had imagined.
The character of Chloe is charming. She bumbles and stumbles her way through "womanly pursuits" like needlepoint, archery and making your own ink. And soon becomes a favorite of the television audience as well as of Mr. Wrightman--and his younger brother, Henry.
Will she win the hand of the bachelor? Earn the $100,00? Learn to love cow tongue for dinner? Ever get to take a hot bath? You'll have to tune in to find out.
