Set in the early 15th century of Rome, Miriam is a strong-willed girl who would stand up not only for herself but for anyone who needed it. She couldn't possibly let anyone else experience even a fraction of the pain she had felt when her parents were murdered while she stood helplessly. 
On the other side of town is Luca, an aspiring gladiator who held on to anything if it meant saving his family from pain, even if it meant he  sold himself as a slave to the gladiator school to gain money, which meant putting himself in a lot of pain.
When these two meet in the most unlikliest circumstances, who will influence the other...for better or for worse?

Ruling one of the biggest conglomerates in the world isn't an easy task for anyone, but Giovanni Romano pulled it off effortlessly, and he planned to keep the company thriving even after he grew old and died, and according to him, that required marriage, followed by a child. And he had the perfect candidate, Aurora Vandenburg.

And here starts the story of a cold man attempting to woo a wild flame. With lessons to be learned, possessive fathers to work around, and a single woman whose smile could light up a ballroom, Giovanni realises that there is more at stake in this game than just his lineage because while he attempts to win her heart, he may have just given up his own in return.
