Palatine Possession (The Ravishing Romans) / The Ravishing Romans (ePub)

Rome, Summer 40 AD

Rani, a beautiful slave from India, makes a break for freedom from her cruel master. Fate brings her to the Palatine Hill, and the home of Julius, who has been injured in an agonizing accident, and just about given up on life.

Julius is one of the most powerful aristocrats in the Roman Empire, but he's stuck inside a broken body. Love, marriage, children all seem to be denied him forever. He's living in a dark pit of hopeless despair when Rani runs into his home, begging him to save her.

Rani is a skilled healer, and promises Julius she'll try to help him get his old life back. Maybe even have a future like other men. The more time they spend together, the more they begin to fall in love. But the closer they become, the more she thinks it's impossible to have her heart's desire. Once Julius is well, why would he ever bother with an abused ex-slave?

Rani's former master tracks her down and tries to take her back by force. The near-fatal attack means the healer now has to be healed. Julius struggles desperately to save his incredible lover no matter what it takes. Can they build a happy future together despite all their issues? Or will Rani turn her back on the sexy Julius and their fiery passion, and return to India?
