The first book in a series of interconnected standalones centered around real historical couples. An age gap, slow burn forbidden love romance set in Los Angeles, California.
Debts & Devotion is a twisted, contemporary romance inspired by Pharaoh Cleopatra VII Thea Philopator of Egypt, and her first lover, Gaius Julius Caesar, Dictator Perpetuo of Rome, as well as historical figures from the same time period.
It is not fantasy, historical romance, or a literal retelling. You don't need to know the history to enjoy the book, but if you do, it will definitely add to the experience.
Caylee Preston is the daughter of Hollywood royalty.
Her grandfather built an empire, and her father solidified its power. But now her father is dead, and she has inherited half of her father's production company. The other half? Gone to her brother, Hunter, whose foolish ways are bound to destroy it. With her family's legacy on the line and a surprise mess from her late father, Caylee turns to the person she least expected to ask for help: her father's greatest rival.
Jonathan Carter forged his media empire from nothing.
Beginning as a lowly stagehand, he's done unspeakable things to get where he is today, but he's still second best. The one thing preventing him from reaching the top? His rival, Paul Preston. Fortunately for him, Paul's death has sparked a war between his two heirs, and he plans to collect on a debt he's owed. To do so, he sets his sights on Paul's daughter, Caylee, who is smarter than he anticipated.
Together Jonathan and Caylee will need to forge an alliance in front of and behind the cameras of Hollywood ... but may form something stronger in the process.
