Avila never asked to be one of Caesar's wives.
In a world where power is bought with loyalty and women are bound to the man who owns them, she refuses to kneel. Sharp-tongued, clever, and unafraid to fight back, she's nothing like the docile wives who smile in silence.
But Caesar-the cold, calculating ruler who bends everyone to his will-finds himself intrigued.
Her defiance feels like fire, her pride like poison he cannot spit out. And when Avila begins playing the game of power against him, the palace walls whisper with tension: who will break first, the ruler or the woman who won't bow?
Secrets begin to unravel.
Allies blur into enemies.
And somewhere between hatred and desire, the dangerous line between survival and surrender starts to fade.
She is not here to be owned. She is here to win.
But against Caesar's gaze, even winning feels like losing.
"He kissed her hand like a promise... but was it of protection, or destruction?"
