The Forthenby Inheritance is an erotic comedy of manners following the misadventures of one Edward ‘Teddy’ Valance. It’s a queer, kinky, romp through the Regency, full of sex, violence, and anachronism.

An inheritance, a jackanapes, a practical joke that gets way out of hand…

A by-word since their schooldays, the rogueish, artistocratic Edward ‘Teddy’ Valance and stern, respectable Richard Thornton had a turbulent and mutually destructive affair based on their youthful roles of miscreant and prefect, until it all fell apart in the face of the adult world.

Eight years later, Teddy has worse things to worry about than his ex-from-hell: disgraced and disinherited, he’s broke, hungover, and living on the good graces of former sex-worker, Peaches. Still, he thinks, you have to laugh. So when Dickie inserts himself back in to Teddy’s life with dire warnings about what will happen if Teddy doesn’t stay away the beautiful Serafina Tooting, Teddy sees an opportunity to cause some havoc, and maybe get even while he’s about it.

But as feelings, creditors, and the consequences of his actions start to catch up with him, Teddy quickly loses control of the situation, and when he unexpectedly inherits a massive fortune, he only goes and makes it so much worse…

The Forthenby Inheritance is the queer, kinky, polyamorous answer to Georgette Heyer.
