Publisher's Synopsis
I have a secret. Only Venus knows the truth.
My father told me to stay away from the Colosseum-it's improper for highborn ladies to be there alone. But I didn't listen. Now I'm down in the forbidden tunnels, peeking around a corner into the armory. I watch while the gladiators lounge after battle, stripping off their armor and wiping dirt from their hard, sweaty muscles. I shouldn't be here...but I can't look away. Dangerous...aggressive...brave... What would it be like to enter their world? Just a small taste of this forbidden fruit...
