Book two-sixty-four: Splendid

Splendid (1995)
Julia Quinn

While it isn’t as sharp as her more recent books, it is still very funny. I’m pretty sure this is the first book she published.

Alexander Ridgely, the Duke of Ashbourne, is determined to avoid marriage. Unfortunately, his family is just as determined to see him wed. Emma Dunster, in London for a season, is determined to return to Boston to run her father's shipping company. But Emma's British cousins are just as determined to see her settle in England. Sparks --and laughter-- fly when all these terribly determined people cross paths during one very splendid London spring.
