Description

As enemies unite, every path leads into the storm. Marcus When Marcus’s legion is decimated and he’s taken prisoner at the hands of the barbarians, he has one thought on his mind—escape. But the man who has claimed him, the warrior with the gray eyes that seem to bore into his soul, has no intention of letting him go. The barbarian lands are harsh and cold, and not everyone is happy to have a Roman living in their village. As tensions rise and spilled blood becomes inevitable, Marcus will have to make his final choice: run and survive alone as he always has or take the ultimate risk to find what he never knew he needed. Agnar Agnar never thought anyone would catch his eye again after his wife was murdered by an enemy clan. But the moment he saw the Roman’s inescapable face, it brought Agnar’s world to a halt. Bound by law and culture, did the only thing he could to save him—take him as a thrall. But the Roman’s mysterious dark eyes are not the only ones that hold secrets. Pulled between two loyalties with the future of his people at stake, Agnar is forced to make a critical choice: sacrifice one kind of love for another or lose both forever. This is a tale of love trying to break through in a dark world. It’s a slow burn, steamy, MM historical romance. It is also a standalone with a guaranteed hea. Please note that this book is not for the faint of heart. There could be some triggering content.
