A soldier looking for redemption falls into the arms of the
empire's Black Widow...
Galerius, former Captain of the Legion, is honored to be
given a chance to redeem himself by discovering who is
behind the failing barrier. A series of anonymous letters
all point to Hostilius, governor of Lucrilia, but Galerius
thinks he'll learn more about the plot by seducing the
governor's thrice widowed daughter, Claudia. Although he
warns himself not to fall into snare of the empire's most
deadly temptress, one kiss leaves him begging for more.
Claudia has spent years as a pawn in her father's political
games and longs to break free of his rule, even it means
betraying him to the emperor. When Galerius arrives in
Tivola, she's not sure if he's there to aid her father or
stop him. She willingly submits to his seduction, despite
their class differences, in order to find the truth. What
she doesn't expect to find is a man who indulges her secret
fantasies, satisfying her in a way none of her previous
husbands did, and treats her as something more than a
conquest. As time runs out to thwart her father's plans, she
must decide if she can trust Galerius not only with her
life, but her heart.
