The allure of ancient Rome comes to life in this seductive and mysterious romance. Set in Rome, 40 A.D., during the reign of Emperor Caligula, this tale follows Marco Quinto Rufo, the second most powerful man in Rome, and Lívia Urgulanila, a woman with a past she wishes to forget.

He is a hardened man from the Germanic forests, handsome and strong, knowing no fear or limits. She is a refined and arrogant aristocrat whose destiny is already written. But the gods have decided otherwise. When Rufo takes her for himself, he cannot remotely imagine the consequences of his actions.

Rome is not a province where everything, including abducting a woman, is allowed. Even if Caligula himself decides to give her to him, conquering Lívia's heart will be the most difficult and daring task Rufo has ever undertaken. Will Lívia surrender her heart to a cruel man who hesitates at nothing?
