The Roman Heirs Series
(2026)(A book in the Roman Heirs series)
An omnibus of novels by Jenna Bigelow
The Roman Heirs series follows the love stories of three generations of an unconventional family in the last decades of the Roman Republic. There's a politically motivated marriage of convenience, forbidden pining between a soldier and a governor's wife, and a pair of business rivals who somehow find themselves trading lessons in love for a truce.
Book 1: The Tribune Temptation
In the cutthroat world of Roman politics, family is everything. Aelius, a freedman turned ambitious politician, enters into a marriage of convenience with a disgraced patrician divorcee, hoping her powerful family name will bolster his chances at the polls. Prickly one moment and icy the next, Crispina is determined to keep her charming husband at a distance. That is, until Aelius undertakes a campaign to win not just the city's vote, but his wife's heart.
Book 2: The Legionary Seduction
Max joined the Roman army in search of glory and adventure, but soon finds himself stuck in the provinces, unable to land even one promotion. During a stint on guard duty at the new governor's residence, he comes face-to-face with Volusia, the girl he loved ten years ago. Only now, she's married to the governor. But when her husband mysteriously dies, she's convinced he was murdered by the corrupt legionary commander. The only person she dares trust is Max, and she begs him to help prove her husband was murdered. Max knows speaking against his commander will risk his position in the army—not to mention his life—but if Volusia asks, he can't say no. Their love is strong, but can it withstand a killer's blade?
Book 3: The Fortune Flirtation
After losing her husband to a shipwreck, Lucretia has devoted herself to keeping his shipping business afloat, clinging to the independence it offers her. Felix, her scheming rival, strives for total control over commerce in Ostia, which requires toppling Lucretia's enterprise and seizing her ships. Unfortunately for Felix, it's not just Lucretia's ships he desires. Her cool smile and calm competence shred his focus and scramble his thoughts, even as he plots sabotage. Even worse, he's been too busy building his business empire to dally with women…ever. When Lucretia discovers both how much he wants her and that he's as inexperienced as a Vestal Virgin, she decides to use this to her advantage—proposing a truce in exchange for initiating Felix into the ways of the flesh.
