Rome (working title)
Aurelia has been a priestess, a vestal virgin, since she was a child. Worshiping the goddess Vesta, preparing for festivals, and attending social function has been her life for the past ten years. And then a stranger charges into her life, saving her from a out of control chariot. A handsome, slave recently captured from Gaul, Aurelia uses her esteemed position to save the slave from the executioner. Touching a Vestal priestess is a crime punishable by death. Kellen doesn't speak the language, but the beautiful young roman woman he pushed from the path of a racing chariot grabs his heart at first glance. A Celtic warrior, whose village was massacred, he is forced to become a gladiator and fight to earn his freedom. He becomes celebrated as a skilled warrior and sneaks off to the Vestal temple to see Aurelia every chance he gets. The penalty for their forbidden love is a horrible execution (the virgin is buried alive, her lover is beaten to death), but they can not deny what they feel. And when the emperor finds out about their deed, they will not escape with their lives. Or will they? Genre: Historical Romance Length: Estimated 100,000 Completion: Just started Excerpt coming soon |
