I Will
First published 2001
Andrew, Lord Drake, must convince his disapproving father that he has abandoned his dissolute habits if he is to regain his inheritance. He coerces the sharp-witted Caroline Hargreaves into a false courtship, only to discover that performing respectability may expose feelings neither intended to acknowledge.
This long historical-romance novella uses aristocratic inheritance and seasonal house-party conventions rather than a major public event. Its comedy depends on the legal and financial leverage of patriarchal families and on the narrow reputational rules governing courtship.
