The Champion's Torment — M. Francis Lamont

The second novel in The Champions Series picks up moments after the end of, Book One, The Champion's Prize. What will happen after Cassian's loss to the German gladiator Proximus? What are the Romans plotting when they send the gladiator to Felix's villa beside Violetta? Giving the lovers weeks to enjoy each other is certainly not part of their plan, but amidst the torment they manage to find stolen moments of joy. Betrayal, combat and opportunity bring about the unexpected and the fates give another chance at both love and glory.
