About this ebook
Gladiator meets The Hurricane Wars in the second book of this juicy saga about a Roman Princess and her Goth warlord husband. An addictive enemies-to-lovers romance set in the last days of the Roman empire that reads like a Romantasy, without the dragons.
Julia Augusta, sister and daughter of Roman emperors and Queen of the Goths, finds herself at the center of a powerful rebellion. She has pledged her heart to her husband, Alaric, King of the Goths —the darkly magnificent warlord, and the only man strong enough to challenge Rome at her side. But as Alaric’s army rolls over northern Italy, she finds herself torn between two worlds.
Alaric has spent most of his life in the relentless pursuit of vengeance. He has given everything for the protection and advancement of his people—until the daughter of his greatest enemy captured his heart. Now his marriage to a Roman princess threatens everything he’s spent his life trying to build. Can he continue to pursue his revenge or will it cost him his heart?
As Alaric fights to hold his alliances together and Julia struggles to preserve a future for Romans and Goths alike, a new enemy arises: one that will stop at nothing to destroy them both. As fierce in love as in battle, Julia and Alaric must overcome centuries of conflict to work together—or the turbulent riptides of rebellion and the demons of their past will tear them apart.
Loosely based on real, historical figures, Game of Thieves is a sizzling enemies-to-lovers dark romance of rebellion, defiance, and lust.
