The Money Moon, Jeffery Farnol

A lot like My Lady Caprice, but with more stage-dressing and less heart.

It is an example of non-nuclear families valued by pre-1960s standards. The romantic heroine is raising her nephew, who the hero is immediately an Uncle to. There's an unrelated older woman also loved as part of the family and called Aunt to demonstrate as much. She gets to marry even though she's too old to bear children.
