We all have hidden desires that lie dormant within us, waiting to be awakened by the right touch.
In the blood-stained era of ancient Rome, where emperors feast on suffering, Aelia struggles against Lucius' possessive hold. Though she is forced to bear his claiming marks, her essence remains untamed, refusing the submission her shackles demand.
Then come Marcus, his gladiator's body a map of scars and survival. Their eyes lock across the crowded slave auction, and something feral ignites between them: a hunger so violent it threatens to incinerate everything in its path.
Together they surrender to primal instincts that leave them gasping in darkness, their passion a rebellion against those who would own them, their ecstasy sharpened by the blade of discovery that hangs above their sweat-slicked skin.
In a world where betrayal is currency and power is built on broken bodies, daggers gleam in torchlight. Against Rome's ruthless machinery, Aelia and Marcus gamble with their very breath while their own demons howl for release, threatening to shatter what little sanity remains. Can what burns between them survive the crucible of an empire built to crush such dangerous flames?
