Valentina’s younger sister ends up paired with the former gladiator Mardacus but refuses to be coupled with him. To save the family honor, Valentina chooses to take her sister’s place in secret, without anyone but the two sisters knowing about the switch. The thought of spending the night in the fearsome gladiator’s bed doesn’t seem such a chore when she discovers the heart of gold and mesmerizing tenderness hidden behind the scarred and fierce façade.
