How far will a father go to keep an old promise?
And how far will a son go to obey him?

Long ago, Marcus Carinna’s father promised to protect a dying friend’s little boy from cutthroat political rivals. That promise ultimately took the life of Carinna’s own son and heir . . . and drove Marcus, his headstrong younger son, to leave Rome.

Now a hero after crushing a Germanic revolt and capturing its leader’s daughter, Marcus is summoned home from the frontier. Yet neither girl nor glory concerns him as much as what his father is going to demand.

Because the orphaned boy didn’t simply survive. At the age of 25, he has just inherited an empire. History will know him as Caligula.

But his newfound power totters atop a precarious past. Conspiracy and corruption feed on his instability. He needs a trusted companion to steady him and keep him safe—the role for which Marcus’s older brother was groomed.

Pressed to fulfill his father’s old vow, Marcus is obliged by family honor to befriend the young emperor. If only honor could quench his own secret desire for the stubborn, bitter Germanic hostage, flame-haired Aurima, whose maidenhood makes her off-limits to him. . . .

Luckily, he has old friends to rely on, an influential mother, and a clever sister who adores him. Yet among the vicious currents swirling around Caligula’s throne, friends can become enemies, and even family can’t be trusted.

After years of defending Rome from foreign danger, Marcus thought he understood the cost of courage. He has no idea how little he really knows.

Amid the tempestuous forces of the young Roman Empire, treachery and desire collide in Roma Amor: A Novel of Caligula’s Rome.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"Sublimely written, full of intrigue and conflict, and a love story to boot" -- Readers Favorite (Silver Award Winner)

"The first installment in a page-turning saga that revisits the heroes and villains of the grandest city of the ancient world.... Comes alive with the long-gone characters who were its lifeblood" -- Kirkus Reviews

From the Author

After years at a magazine and an advertising agency, I thought I'd always be a professional copywriter. Then I met a fellow from Maine who was looking for crew to help sail his (rather small) sloop to the Bahamas. After battling a hurricane, a full gale, and sub-freezing temperatures together, we decided we were compatible enough to get married.

By that point I wasn't just a shipmate; I was a scribbler who loved all things Roman. I hankered to write something new: a story about fathers and sons set in Ancient Rome, incorporating high-stakes suspense, engaging circumstances, romantic tension, and a splash of humor.

That was two books and a novella ago. With the Skipper as navigator and photographer, I've walked on spear-straight Roman roads, surveyed the barbarian frontier from a Danube fortress, and explored the Palatine Hill where Caesars lived and died. Reference books and museums shed light on the past, too, but places where real people worked and played, loved and fought, tend to spark my imagination most vividly. The years between now and then fade away, helping me to bring life to the characters who now inhabit the "Roma Amor" series—and to show you the world as they see it.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

I work from a barn in a coastal Maine village, assisted by two cats and surrounded by Rome-related artifacts and pictures—great inspiration for ROMA AMOR, AMBER ROAD, and a third novel now in the works.

I’ve always been a writer, first on a magazine, then at an advertising agency, and eventually as owner of my own copywriting business. Over the years I've co-written seven nonfiction books, many of them with "money therapist" Olivia Mellan.

But all the while, I was working on a novel about Ancient Rome. Revising it. Rewriting it. Starting over. And so on. Until finally, ROMA AMOR: A NOVEL OF CALIGULA'S ROME emerged.

If you like stories that combine high-stakes suspense with vivid characters, extraordinary circumstances, romantic tension, and a splash of humor, why not follow me into the "Roma Amor" world? Find out more at www[dot]roma-amor[dot]com—and learn how to grab a free e-novella.
