Bound by Shed Blood (Gladiator romance)

Brewin Ambrade has suffered nothing but loss at the hands of the Roman Legion, and its emperor, Lucius Marius. Taken from his homeland and enslaved, Brewin has been made a weapon for the Romans to wield within the colosseum walls.
With every life he takes, Brewin feels himself losing a little more of his humanity. His only comfort comes from an unlikely source: the emperor's daughter, Cyra- in which he is appointed as her personal guard.
Betrothed to a Roman general, neglected, and trapped by her father's iron grip, Cyra is no less a prisoner than Brewin is. As their worlds clash, they come to an unexpected understanding, which becomes a connection that goes against everything they've ever known. Together they'll take back what was stolen from them, no matter what the cost.
