The Gladiator’s Prize

Rome, 192 AD.

As a priestess of Bona Dea, Livia has been raised for one purpose. To carry the arena champion's child and return to her temple. Three days. That is all the goddess demands. That is all she expects.

She does not expect him to be kind.

He is Rome's most celebrated gladiator, enslaved for a crime that was never a crime at all. He has survived the arena by wanting nothing, feeling nothing, and hoping for nothing.

Three days with Livia changes that.

When Rome tears them apart, she returns to her temple carrying more than she expected. He returns to his cell with one thought.

He is coming back for her.

A dark historical romance. Ancient Rome. A gladiator. A priestess. A love story that was never supposed to happen.
