"You shouldn't speak that way," he said. "Then let Rome try." Cassia was sold in chains to the empire's most elite academy. Labeled a barbarian. Assigned to copy scrolls. Ordered to stay silent. She does none of that. Sharp-tongued, brilliant, and entirely out of place, she catches the eye of Cassian Varro-Rome's golden boy. Arrogant. Untouchable. Dangerous. And suddenly obsessed with the girl who refuses to kneel. He wants control. She wants answers. But the scrolls whisper secrets only she can read-strange words, lost time, a life she doesn't remember. She doesn't know where she came from. But something tells her it wasn't this century. A slow-burn bully romance set in the Roman Empire-with fierce stares, forbidden kisses, and a love that was never supposed to happen.
