Gladiator's Revenge Taranis had one thing on his mind since the Romans enslaved him. Revenge. Until he laid eyes on the innocent beauty of Lavina, a daughter of his enemy. It was then that he knew how to wreak revenge against those who'd wronged him - by taking one of Rome's daughters, over and over again. Lavina is humiliated by the decadence, greed and violence of Rome. When she meets the gaze of the condemned gladiator across the Circus Maximus, he stirs a deep yearning in her heart, but it is not meant to be. She is destined to marry a man who's soul is as black as night. On a whim, Emperor Nero grants Taranis freedom with his choice of a wife. Taranis chooses Lavina, much to the horror of her parents. Only Lavina is not disgusted by this prospect and revels in Taranis' touch. He finds himself caring for and falling in love with the little Roman. Yet, a shadow falls on their happiness and soon Lavina will have to choose between her home and her heart. Gladiator's Atonement When Eratos gains his freedom from his violent master he has only one thing on his mind - atonement. He chases his former master Thelonius back to Antioch, and a ghost from his past emerges from the shadows, none other than his master's wife - a woman who hates the man as much as Eratos does. Helena detests her husband, but thankfully he is never home and doesn't desire her. Now he has returned home to lick his wounds and Helena wonders what has him so nervous. When she spies a shadow lurking she is thrilled Eratos has returned and realizes why her husband is fearful. Helena decides to get her own revenge on the man who destroyed her life, and to finally taste ecstasy in the arms of Eratos, the man who stirred her dormant passions long ago. Eratos has thought only of Helena from the moment he first saw her, and having her under his former master's nose sounds like sweet revenge indeed. But Thelonius stands in their way, a man who they both want dead. Gladiator's Seduction Darius and Jason have been hiding secrets. Several secrets, including the fact that Darius is still a slave to the Roman Empire. They have vowed to keep Darius' identity safe, but both of them are lying to each other and neither of them know what the other knows, until an Egyptian seductress is placed in their midst. Husn can immediately tell the men desire each other as much as they desire her, and she feels it is her duty to bring them together - as it is her duty to kill them both. Husn will fight the purist sect that wants to place a Ptolemy heir back on the pharaoh's throne, but they hold her sister's life in their hands. Husn must decide if she can turn to the two men she loves, or if she will have to use their secret to destroy them.
