Liviana is young, strong-willed, and shackled. She is a slave to the Roman Empire, but unlike most slaves, she has a rare, special talent; Liviana has a medical education, one she uses to tend to the wounds of the performing gladiators, including the cuts and bruises of a man she comes to find irresistible, Servius.
That same day, however, Liviana is summoned to the Emperor's Palace urgently! Assuming that a mere aide or servant requires her medical knowledge, she's astonished to find the Emperor himself desperately in need of a healer's touch!
As the weeks go on, slave and emperor become better acquainted, and they're soon united in a stormy, forbidden affair! But how will Liviana reconcile her feelings for her fellow slave Servius, especially as she learns he may have been mortally wounded?
