Publisher's Synopsis
After working as an Advisor for the Roman Empire, Tiberius Maximus Vispania returned to Herculaneum in 79AD to start over. When he meets Sidonia Regilla, a fire instantly ignites between them, and although she was supposed to marry by arrangement, after the first fell through, she made a deal with her father. She would be allowed to choose her future husband. Could Sidonia be happy with Tiberius?
Just when happiness finds a way, an epic tragedy occurs and the entire village is wiped out. Only Tiberius and his best friend survive, courtesy of a curse that's provided them with immortality.
2,000 years later, Tiberius, who now goes by Max, runs the town of Trenton, California with his best friend. Max never got over losing Sidonia until the day that Kelsey Stillthorn walked into his bar.
With one look, Kelsey lights a desire within him that only Sidonia had ever done. When their dark worlds collide, an overwhelming need to protect her takes over, and he realizes there may be more to Kelsey's ability to get under his skin than he thought. When Kelsey is kidnapped and tortured, unknown old rivals and secrets come to light.
When Max rushes in to save her, he vows that either all of them would come out alive, or none of them.
