I've been checking this thread (just returned from four days at the parents) to see if anyone has already recommended for you to try a Civil Campaign - which is the romantic comedy book that the previous commenter didn't like.
I think that might be more to your taste, because it IS almost like a Gorgette Heyer, except for galleons of bug butter (one of my favourite scifi comedy bits ever - although you can see it coming). And it has multiple romances, so there you go.
Not too many new characters introduced, however there's one gender-swap you may have a hard time with, but in terms of Barrayaran society it's a coup-de-grace well delivered.
If you can get it from the library, that one might be to your taste.
It's my favourite Bujold, however so far I have more or less enjoyed most of her books.
