Quintus Ambustus is a slave, while Adiona Leonia is a wealthy socialite. He fights for his life in the gladiator's ring, and she plays cutthroat politics in Rome's high society. He's sacrificed everything for his Christian faith; she believes in nothing and no one.

But when Adiona's life is threatened, Quintus is chosen as her bodyguard, and their fascination with one another shocks them both. Neither thought to find joy in a match society would condemn, but their feelings cannot be denied. Have they lost too much to believe in happiness? Or will their growing love let them leave the past behind and build a new future together?

Set on a Bengali noble's estate in 1908, this novel is both a love story and a tale of political awakening. The central character, Bimala, finds herself torn between the duties owed to her husband, Nikhil, and the demands made by the radical leader, Sandip. Her attempts to resolve the irreconcilable pressures of the home and the world reflect the conflict in India itself, and the tragic outcome foreshadows the unrest that accompanied Partition in 1947.

This edition provides an engaging narrative that explores the themes of love, loyalty, and national identity in a time of political turmoil.

Reno is a tough Enforcer for Lycan Link who finds himself drawn to Brandi, but duty rules his life. Brandi, just on the edge of starting her career as a Disaster Control officer, falls for Reno at first sight. But are they really meant to be? Is it love or lust and does it really even matter?

Enforcers and DCs don't get along...unless fate forces them to. Bonded precedes The Mating.
