Gods of Death Want Life by MalloryDockery

Wrote part of this back in 2013. It is a companion to the canon and completed it Feb 2021 and EDITED better June 2021. Still not fully edited, but I loved reading it again and again. It's ending is supposed to be a cliff hanger to a potential spin off series I have been writing for years which follows the First Triumvirate, BEFORE Caesar becomes Dictator for life. Still unfinished but I have been writing that series HBO! STARS! WHOEVER WANTS TO PICK UP THIS GENRE. lol

The Pompeiian Horse by GabboDeLaParra

After many years away- fighting countless battles to keep the Roman Empire safe, Prime Centurion Vettius returns to Pompeii, his hometown. During this almost forced vacation, he discovers something he wasn't expecting in the populous sea resort. He debates between accepting it and leaving Pompeii because facing the implications of his discovery is too complicated. Equus the Stallion is a former gladiator living a different life now. He's Pompeii's sweetheart, beloved and adored by almost everyone. Those who don't love him envy him or have even darker motives to wish him ill. Still, he's a celebrity and stays in everyone's mind and heart. When Equus and Vettius discover what they are to each other's past (one spared the life of the other a long time ago), their present becomes conflicted in more than one way, because life is not easy in the Roman Empire, especially when you're at opposite ends of the social scale. Readers beware; this story contains mock battles, emotional battles, and gory battles. It also contains naughty man-on-man foreplay in secluded places and "throw your sandals away" intercourse. All characters portrayed in this book are age 18 or older. For adults only.
