Romance Historical | Suspense
Born a son of Rome's Equestrian class, Damon Primax's
life should have been one of wealth and privilege. Instead,
his father sold him to settle a gambling debt stripping
Damon of his birthright, his freedom and the family he
loved. Emancipated by a master turned friend, he sets aside
his own life to reunite his family, agreeing once more to
indenture himself to a Senator as a spy to free his sister.
Julia Manulus, daughter of a progressive, respected
Roman Senator, understands the eccentric and indulgent life
of Rome's patrician society which is why she avoids it.
Still, as head of her father's house, a duty she inherited
at the death of her mother, she must maintain the dignity
of her family while her unconventional father pursues
other interests. When her father goes missing, she faces
her biggest challenge when the powerful Prefect of Rome
pressures her to marry.
Lured into a conspiracy set by his duplicitous
employer and sentenced to die, Damon finds himself saved by
a woman too beautiful to be anything less than a goddess.
But his gratitude is tempered by the bitter truth that his
life is the price he pays to be a pawn in a patrician
game. A simple matter to play the role of husband to the
noble Julia until he starts to see how human his goddess
is, caring for her family and others. When the attraction
and desire he feels is reciprocated, Damon dares to dream
again only to have it threatened by the intrigue of
powerful men who would see them both destroyed. Can the
clash of social class and greed be overcome or will Damon
pay the ultimate price to protect the woman he loves?
