Rome, Summer 40 AD Rani, a beautiful slave from India, makes a break for freedom from her cruel master. Fate brings her to the wealthy and exclusive Palatine Hill, and the home of Julius, who has been injured in an agonizing accident, and just about given up on life. Julius is one of the most powerful aristocrats in the Roman Empire, but he's stuck inside a broken body. Love, marriage, children all seem to be denied him forever. He's living in a dark pit of hopeless despair when Rani runs into his home, begging him to save her. Rani is a skilled healer, and promises Julius she'll try to help him get his old life back. Maybe even have a future like other men. The more time they spend together, the more they begin to fall in love. But the closer they become, the more she thinks it's impossible to have her heart's desire. Once Julius is well, why would he ever bother with an abused ex-slave? Rani's former master tracks her down and tries to take her back by force. The near-fatal attack means the healer now has to be healed. Julius struggles desperately to save his incredible lover no matter what it takes. Can they build a happy future together despite all their issues? Or will Rani turn her back on the sexy Julius and their fiery passion, and return to India? +++ Sensuality Rating This romance novel contains multiple explicit love scenes between the hero and heroine. It is for mature audiences only. ++++ Word count =71,668 +++ About the Author Jacinta Carey is the author of the popular Starbuck Saga series of historical romances, The Ravishing Romans series. the Wild Heart series, and The Gordons of Gretna series. She majored in English, History and Classics at college. She loved to cook for her huge family, and adores cats. +++ A Note from the Author One of the best things about writing this book and series as a whole was just how similar our own modern world actually is to the ancient Roman one in many respects. Falling in love is universal, no matter the time, place, and culture. Almost all of our Western traditions related to marriage actually come from Ancient Rome! So escape from streaming and social media, to the sensuality of Roman baths, luxurious foods and fabrics, and the vivid connection between two lovers who never have to text each other.... Fun Fact The Palatine Hill was the richest and most exclusive area to live in Ancient Rome. It's where we get the word 'palace' from.
