    Summary

    You are the daughter of Rome's most esteemed Centurion, the General of the largest Roman Legion. Upon return from the siege of a Persian city, your father has a new right-hand-man: Marcus Acacius.

    To secure strength through power instead of politics, your father arranges you to be wed to Acacius. Though you vehemently hate the conquests of Rome, the soldier is not everything he seems.

    You had no idea how much danger this marriage put you in, and how close one plot to overthrow Rome's strength would bring you to unlikely connections.

    Summary

    ["June stopped by at lunch; she showed me a delightful channel called Hallmark, which repeats the same story every hour after they swap one round of white, straight, small-town conventionally beautiful actors for another. It was entertaining.”

    “June and I used to play a drinking game with those. Take a shot every time someone goes ice skating, sledding, or leaves the big city for their tiny hometown.”

    “Good lord, you must’ve been sloshed in the first ten minutes.”]
