See all formats and editions

Eric Tinsley, the unexpected new Lord Gossett, has inherited a mess. He was never meant to be Lord of the manor, since he was the ‘spare’, but is forced into the role upon the deaths of his father and brother.

Little does he know that the title comes with a mound of debt that he cannot afford to pay.

Enter Robert Bennett, American Billionaire. Robert has tried multiple ways to move up in society, but even his billions can’t crack the royal elite. But where there’s a will, there’s a way, and Robert finds that way with Eric, Lord Gossett.

Married under a ten-year contract that outlines every aspect of their relationship, they soon find themselves questioning everything.

“Filled with humor, heart, and some old fashioned drama, this story takes you on a rollercoaster ride to Eric and Robert’s HEA.”

My mother now regrets her fateful words she offered the day I came home from our small town library in Palm Springs, California (yes, I’m a Cali girl) complaining that there were no more books to read. “Then why don’t you write some.”

My father never saw his old Remington portable until I entered college and they gifted me an IBM Selectric. By then I had produced at least two dozen unpublishable novels which make me cringe when I read them today.

I found inspiration in innumerable odd jobs (from migrant work as a Date palm pollinator to the person who cleans the washing machines at the launderette to professional Dominatrix) for stories. After a stint in Rehab for Alcohol and Heroin abuse (so when I write those scenes, I know what I’m talking about), I cleaned up and have stayed that way for 29 years. (Me and Sir Elton, LOL). My gypsy lifestyle gave me a unique perspective on the different people who inhabited the Washington, Oregon, Arizona, California, and New Mexico areas where I have lived.

After 3 very bad marriages to men, I finally figured out what was wrong and fell in love with a woman when I lived in Portland, OR 23 years ago. We’ve been married since 2008 (yes it was legal in California at that time). We now live in Asheville, NC and love the people in this liberal and accepting corner of the mountains of North Carolina.

Buying his lordship

Reviewed in the United States on June 21, 2022

Eric, the spare, become Lord Gossett after the deaths of his father and brother. Both deceased bankrupted their holdings, leading Robert, a self-made American billionaire to agree to a mutually advantageous contract. Calabrese's novel tracks the courtship and years of marriage. Families continue to create crises, infidelity threatens with divorce, and twins enter on the plot. Characters are revealed, albeit incompletely and passion brightens the pages. Well written and plotted, I recommend.

Enjoyed the premise, the couple and the story!

Reviewed in the United States on July 9, 2021

Theres alot of story on every page. I loved the premise and liked the characters, Robert and Eric. There are plenty of situations and despicable people as well as unexpected kind people. The love story evolves at times intensely hot with other moments gritty. I get the feeling the author wanted to stuff as much story and characters into this book as possible. I was left with some unresolved questions and felt unsettled when i reached the end.

Spoiler.

Possible triggers involving various kinks & cheating.

I really enjoyed the book up to about 75%. After that I felt the story could not redeem Robert.
However, there is an HEA for all concerned. The last chapter was lovely.

Good but A Bit Dark

I enjoyed the book but it’s a little bit to on the dark and heavy side for me. At times I found it depressing.

Kept me up all night reading it

Reviewed in the United States on July 13, 2021

This is not at all what I expected. I was drawn in by the blurb and which sounded interesting but I read a lot yet I did not know what I was getting into. I don’t know if there would have ever been a good time for me to start this story but once I did everything else fell by the wayside. I love this story. I ended up staying up into the early morning hours to finish it. I just could not put it down.

These two experienced guys, for different reasons, need to get married. Eric needs the money to keep his inheritance solvent. He needs a lot of money. Billionaire Robert needs the status. By chance they find that marriage might be the solution for both of them. They agree on a ten year contract that is entertaining in itself. There is so much to this story. From the secondary characters who play so much a part of their story to the situations that made me wonder if these two, who are both plenty experienced in sleeping around, could ever make a lasting relationship. I love Eric. He is such a caring person. Both of these guys have had nothing in their lives to give them reason to see the good in relationships. This author did a great job of not spilling the beans in any way I expected. There are plenty of twists and problems. There is a lot of family members that made me want to scream. I love this story and can’t wait for the next.

A marriage of convenience??

Reviewed in the United States on July 14, 2021

For most of his life, having been cruelly and incessantly bullied by his father, older brother and cousin over his bisexuality, in a rare act of fate Eric Tinsley finds himself the 18th Duke of Midbourne and 7th Marquess of Hetchester. Unfortunately inheriting the title is proving to be a huge headache, as his father and brother have systemically bled the estate dry and Eric must now find ways to make the estate solvent once again. Entering a marriage-of-convenience with one of the richest men in the world, Eric now has the money to go ahead with repairs and badly-needed renovations at the estate properties.

Robert Bennet is extremely wealthy and efficient businessman, but is in need of a bit more clout on the international scene. Marrying a duke - even though a contracted marriage - Robert gains the notoriety and name-recognition his business persona is in need of. It is affection and lust at first sight between the two men, but do they have the staying power to last ten years together?

Royally Indebted is a very imaginative, intriguing and entertaining read. The plot of this book is fascinating, as Robert and Eric meander through the ten years of their contract trying to keep up their business, keep their dysfunctional family members off their backs and build a family together. There are definite up-and-downs, to be sure - as there are in any relationship. The main characters are well developed and their internal emotions and biases are well portrayed to the reader. Certainly, there are a few incidents in the plot that made me uncomfortable - mainly the mild kink and marital cheating - but through it all the book is quite well written and attention-grabbing. The secondary characters are exceptional adding a sense of necessary antagonistic drama to the relationship that Eric and Robert have built.

An interesting and thought-provoking book! 4 stars!!

I read an advance reader's copy of this book and am leaving my honest and unbiased opinion of it.

How do you trust a person you don't know?

Reviewed in the United States on August 2, 2021

Eric, youngest son of Neville, grew up priveledged and ignored as the 'spare' in the titled hierarchy. He was able to indulge himself living under the radar. Which meant, living live in the closet and not exposing his 'shame' and embarrassing the family. When tragedy struck and threatened the legacy of the family, Eric was caught unawares. Sarah provided a solution and introduced Eric to Robert, reportedly the 3rd richest man in the world. Robert was looking for legitimacy. He thought a title would be a way to move up in polite society. The idea of a mutual beneficial contract that lasts at least 10 years, sounds daunting but doable. Greer, Rob's PA,and best friend is an absolute gem. The author did a good job making both men likeable in spite of their complexities. They each drag some serious familial baggage behind them. They suffer a few crisis on their journey. Can they find a balance for the family? Are they compatible? Are they able to move forward with the contract? Do they meet each other's expectations? Are they able to be friends?Are they able to be more? Delightful story. I hope to read more about Greer. Well done! I received an ARC and am voluntarily leaving a review.
