''Black Sheep'' is a 1966 [[HistoricalFiction historical romance]] novel by Creator/GeorgetteHeyer.
Abigail Wendover is dismayed to learn her niece Fanny is in love with the disreputable Stacey Calverleigh. To prevent Fanny marrying Stacey, Abigail teams up with Stacey's cousin Miles Calverleigh, the black sheep of the family. Then she falls in love with Miles...
!!Contains examples of:
* AbductionIsLove: Parodied: Miles kidnaps Abby in the end, but she's just irritated at him for being presumptuous; when he offers to take her back to her family if she says she ''really'' doesn't want to marry him, she replies that he can abduct her, but he can't make her tell a lie.
* AwesomeButImpractical: Miles and Abby discuss the logistics of a nocturnal elopement and agree that using a rope ladder in real life would be insanely difficult, especially for a woman wearing long skirts and petticoats.
* BatmanGambit: Miles hiring a prostitute to trick Stacey.
* BeautyEqualsGoodness: Subverted with Stacey Calverleigh.
* TheCharmer: Most characters (except Abby) find Stacey to be this.
* {{Elopement}}:
** [[spoiler: Averted by a timely attack of influenza.]]
** Also, the big reason Miles is the "black sheep" of his family is that he once attempted to elope with Fanny's mother.
* GenreSavvy: Abby refuses to pull a ParentalMarriageVeto on Fanny, knowing Fanny will try to elope with Stacey if she does.
* GoldDigger: Stacey is a male example.
* GuileHero: Miles can be seen as a reluctant, lazy version of this.
* HookerWithAHeartOfGold: Dolly "the Dasher" jumps at the chance to help Miles with his plan to show Stacey's true colors. In fact, she insists to be part of it.
* HumiliationConga: For Stacey Calverleigh.
* {{Hypochondria}}: Selina's favorite pastime.
* OneDialogueTwoConversations: Between Abby and Miles early on, when she thinks he's the ''other'' Mr. Calverleigh.
* RegencyEngland: The book is set between 1816 and 1817.
* SiblingYinYang: Abby and Selina, the former lively, witty, and not one for social conventions, the latter a dainty hypochondriac who insists upon propriety.
* UnderdressedForTheOccasion: Miles shocks some people by paying morning calls in riding dress.
* TheUnfavourite: Miles was this in his family. He is the titular Black Sheep.
* VirginityMakesYouStupid: Fanny.
