Thawed Gladiator: Varro
(2024)(The first book in the Awakened From the Ice series)
A novel by Alana Khan
An innocent treasure-hunter…
Studious archeologist Laura Hill has just made the discovery of a century. The 82 AD shipwreck Fortuna lies far beneath the waves, along with its precious cargo: a chest of gold and, intriguingly, the ice-encased body of a Roman gladiator.
But when her contractor steals the treasure, leaving Laura and the body on a deserted island, her career-making find — and her life — is in danger of being destroyed.
…an ancient warrior, trapped in ice…
Marcus Fabius Varro once served at the pleasure of cruel men and women, a slave to their violent whims and darkest desires. Freed from his icy grave by a beautiful, cautious stranger, an unlikely new life is offered to him. And this woman has no interest in a slave — she wants Varro, body and soul.
…and a burning passion that melts all inhibition…
Struggling against their inexplicable chemistry, Laura and Varro are forced to rely on each other for survival. But with no money, no contact with the outside world, and centuries dividing them, can they bury the past to build a future?
Thawed Gladiator: Varro is a slow-burn, forced proximity, enemies to friends to lovers, time portal romance.
