Set in Ancient Rome, young Lucretia aspires to join the ranks of the Vestal Virgins. Her main objective is to be sworn to a life of chastity and independence from male guardianship.
Gaius, a former soldier, comes to terms with his experiences in his early life. Yet, his authoritative father plagues him consistently.
Everything soon changes when Lucretia is forcibly thrown into vile Gaius' arms. They are to be wed. His dominating cruelty pushes her away from him, and her disobedience vexes him. But an unimaginable connection soon disarms Gaius, and even Lucretia can't deny her irresistible attraction to him.
A perpetual fight between Anguish & Affection.
