Publisher's Synopsis
Sold into slavery A hardened survivor of more than a dozen gladiatorial combats, Gaius Gracchus Valens's raw masculinity fuels many women's sexual fantasies. He is a man outside polite society, and Roman noblewoman Julia Antonia knows she should have nothing to do with a man who is little more than a slave. But, with a wisp of scandal clinging to her stola, she is drawn inexorably towards the forbidden danger Valens represents. Julia is a tantalising reminder of the life he had torn from him. To claim her, Valens must fight one final time - and win!
