Lights! Camera! Fake Fiancé!

Breakfast TV producer Petey Boy Topham dreams of producing the reality shows he loves to watch. When he finally lands a job on The Love Manor-a Regency-inspired dating show filmed at an actual country house-it's his golden ticket to his career ambitions. If he can impress his new boss, she might give him his own show.

William Winters - known to the tabloids as the "Bisexual Baron Buckford" - is nothing like his headlines. This rugby-playing, fantasy-novel-hoarding aristocrat inherited seventy-eight rooms, millions in debt, and precisely one devoted eccentric butler. Letting the cameras in is his last chance to save the estate.

When the contestants discover there's a real baron on the premises and abandon the format entirely to pursue him, there's only one way to save the show: a fake engagement between producer and baron. Sharing the manor's romantic folly, cocky Londoner Petey and shy, bookish William discover the most dangerous thing about a desperate lie: how quickly it starts feeling true. And then it leaks to the press.
