Secrets — Aubrey Ross

Princess Naloni attends the Festival of Venus expecting to expose the orgies, the decadence and the brutality within New Pompeii, but instead becomes fascinated by the uninhibited sexual displays. She sees two magnificent gladiators wrestling--their naked bodies sliding, straining. She can't help but imagine herself between their steel hardness. An instant later, she finds herself not only sandwiched between their gleaming, hard bodies, but she is in the middle of a gladiator uprising.

Max knew his friend was going to attempt an escape. However, he had no idea a hostage would be taken. Naloni does not go quietly. She struggles, attempting to sabotage them at every turn. Max is intrigued by her resistance and aroused by her supple body. His pulse pounds as he imagines how he will take her. How he will stoke her fire until she burns out of control. Their passion is forbidden, but their hearts don't seem to care. They abandon themselves to a romance that will change the course of their world--or destroy it.
