BOOK 1 OF THE POSSESSIVE SERIES (UNDERGOING EDITING)
ALL BOOKS FROM THIS SERIES CAN BE READ AS A STAND ALONE.
The fine line between love and obsession is so thin that it's almost invisible. At least, it is to Anastacius, the Emperor of Rome.
He fell in love with the sound of her voice before he even saw her face. By the time he finally did, it was already too late. Valeria was warmth and wit wrapped in silk and defiance; a woman who did not bow easily, not even to a man who commanded the greatest Empire.
Anastacius had been raised to conquer, never being denied a single thing he desired. Until her. She was light where he was shadow, mercy where he was ruthless. And the more she resisted the gilded cage of his devotion, the tighter his grip became.
He told himself it was love. He told himself he was protecting her. But empires are not built on tenderness, and hearts are far easier to break than kingdoms.
This is the story of how he made her his. The story of how he lost her. And the story of how far an emperor will go when the only thing he cannot command is the woman he calls his Empress.
