The Beast's Domestic Policy

Elsie Pringle arrived at the frozen gates of Gloompeak Manor seeking a simple housekeeping job, armed with a feather duster and a desire to be useful. But when she signs a contract in bad lighting without reading the fine print, she discovers she hasn't agreed to dust the cobwebs—she's agreed to marry the Manor's monstrous master, Lord Bram. Trapped by a magical bureaucracy and a relentless blizzard, Elsie refuses to be scared off by Bram's roars or his carnivorous plants, deciding that if she is to be a monster's bride for the winter, she is going to make sure he wears warm socks.
