Thawed Gladiator: Quintus

A woman reclaiming her power...

At forty-five, Jill thought passion was behind her. Divorced and finally free, she arrives at Second Chance Sanctuary to learn self-defense—not to fall for an ancient Roman gladiator whose voice could make angels weep and whose skilled hands know exactly how to worship her awakening body until she's trembling with need.

...a warrior who fixes broken things...

Quintus survived decades in Roman arenas by never wanting what he couldn't have. Now the sanctuary's steady problem-solver, this two-thousand-year-old warrior is unprepared for the divorced woman whose strength grows daily—and whose laughter makes him crave everything he'd given up hoping for.

...together they conquer fear...

When Quintus offers everything she's ever wanted, Jill panics. What if she's just trading one cage for another? Can she trust that the right man enhances who she is instead of erasing her completely?

Thawed Gladiator: Quintus is a scorching, second-chance romance featuring a mature heroine finding her power and the ancient warrior whose skilled hands help her soar.
