Love Insurance

A light comic-romance centers on a young man's entanglement in a high-society courtship complicated by an unconventional insurance arrangement that bets on the outcome of a proposed marriage. Set amid hotels, clubs, and coastal resorts, the story follows a chain of social obligations, misunderstandings, and scheming acquaintances that produce misadventures and near-misses. Episodic chapters alternate scenes of negotiation, travel, and genteel satire, examining how family pride, etiquette, and businesslike calculations collide with personal feelings, and resolving the romantic tensions with a neat, humorous reconciliation.
