Description: "A bloody past ... and a dangerous future. He won his fame--and his freedom--in the gory pits of Rome's Colosseum. Yet the greatest challenge comes to him through a slave. His slave, the beautiful and mysterious Pelonia Valeria. Her secret brings danger to his household but offers Caros a love like he's never known. Should anyone learn she is a Christian, Pelonia will be executed. Her faith threatens not only herself, but her master. Can she convince a man who found fame through unforgiving brutality to show mercy? And when she's ultimately given the choice, will Pelonia choose freedom or the love of a gladiator?"--P. [4] of cover.
