Description
A sensual romantic adventure set against the backdrop of Ancient Rome
She is the innocent victim caught in his murderous web...
Livia, a young and vulnerable patrician, is brought up in isolation and poverty by her madman father. At his death she is married off to Festus, a degenerate Roman Senator, who is to 'save' her from the whorish blood she inherited from her mother. Little does she know, the man her father thought would protect her, plans her degradation and death.
But the innocent Livia is not without friends, even if they are only slaves belonging to her husband. There is Nexus, the Nubian head slave of her husband's household, Niobe, her handmaiden, and Allyn, the dangerous and unstable Celt who has spent his life meeting the sexual demands of his owners and now find himself tasked with the destruction of his new mistress.
From Rome's villas of unimaginable wealth to the blood and desperation of the gladiatorial amphitheatre, the slaves play a cat and mouse game with their devious master to keep Livia safe.
But it is not in Rome that the final confrontation with Festus takes place. Nor is it the slaves who determine Livia's fate. It is in Pompeii, as Mt Vesuvius erupts, that Livia takes her destiny into her own hands and finds a love worth fighting for.

??? What readers say about this and Nhys Glover's other Roman Historical Romances:
'This is a very good romantic adventure with well-developed characters that held my interest until early into the morning.' Lorijay
'I LOVED this book (note the shouty caps). This is a beautifully written novel with strong engaging lead and secondary characters and a gripping story line that kept me in suspense right until the end.' Ereviewer
'Nhys Glover writes amazing stories of relationships and the love that develops from them, of passions that ignite between characters as they discover that although they thought the rules were set, when it comes to love there are no rules. Love conquers fears and gives strength where there is doubt. Add in an uncanny ability to portray scenes and situations with a few words and you have a lady who is one hell of a story teller.' Tuesday63
'Such an easy read this, so beautiful. . what better place to be than in Rome... and Ancient Rome of all times. Read th?s wonderful Story and loved every bit of it, the characters come alive makes you feel as though you are actually there. and Nexus- OMG, talking about hot... he's beautiful. Extremely hot and steamy love Story w?th alot of intr?gue thrown in.' B.Toyah.
'This is a wonderful mix of accurate historical detail, interesting and compelling characters, plenty of spice- that is rather confronting at some points (I won't say where), fast-moving adventure and enough romance to satisfy even the most romantic of souls. I half-wished Livia had fallen for the 'other man' in the story though, as he is very hot! Maybe a sequel will address this possibility :)' Cara Reynolds
