Gasping, Vittoria's eyes flew up to find herself inches away from her husband's unreadable face. And in the next moment his lips were already on hers, kissing her as if he was staking a claim. A deep sense of irritation flooded her veins. She wouldn't put up with this ownership behavior. Not in her era, and certainly not in this place. Vittoria pushed him aside with all her might, but Maximus pulled back almost instantly. Without thinking twice, she slapped him across the face and froze in fear, now waiting for his possible retaliation. This man was capable of doing everything. She saw him carrying out his duties. To her utter surprise, Maximus seemed to be fazed by her actions, fixing his scrutinizing gaze on hers. He rubbed his left cheek, as though making sure it really happened. And then a throaty laugh escaped him like he was amused. Staring back at him in frustration, Vittoria raised her eyebrows. "That was worth it." His laughter abruptly subsided, and after casting her one final brooding look, he turned on his heel and left the room. *** A work trip to the ruins of what was once one of the most magnificent Roman villas? Yes, it's Vittoria's big opportunity to prove herself as a professional architect despite her young age. And, yet, her journey doesn't go as planned. When something mysterious chills her to the bone, she runs for her life-only to find herself lost in a time long past. Mistaken for someone else, she is forced to marry a stranger. A hardhearted commander of the Roman Imperial Guard called Maximus. Will Vittoria be able to find her way home and reveal the secrets of her destiny? *** I appreciate all your support!

"I warned you, you live under Roman law now. And you violated it. You touched what is mine. The punishment for that is ... death." Plunging his sword into the attacker's chest, the Centurion let the man fall and bleed out on the ground. Aelynn shrieked, causing Marcus to direct his full attention to her. The girl was cowering in the corner of the room. She hid her face in her hands, and he heard her muffled sobs. Slowly, Marcus sheathed his gladius and approached her shivering figure. *************************************************************** An enemies-to-lovers story set in ancient times when the Roman Empire was at the peak of its power and extending its control over Britain. And in the middle of it, a kind Celtic girl Aelynn and a Roman Centurion Marcus notorious for his brutality and cold-heartedness. Two worlds that could not be more different from each other collide. What would become of them? *** This story contains war / death scenes and other mature topics. Please read with caution. I'll also appreciate your comments, thoughts and pointing out mistakes.
