Slaves to Love
Lucius & Callistus
Raised in the city of Capua renowned for its gladiator training grounds, Lucius, a young patrician is unprepared for the obsessive desire that almost overwhelms him when he first sees Callistus, a captive Gaul condemned to a life, and probable death in the arena. Unsuccessful in his attempt to buy Callistus and save him from a premature death, Lucius instead follows his career, attending all his bouts in the arena, including one with Spartacus, the rebel slave. Spartacus incites Callistus and his fellow gladiators to rebel and form an unbeatable army, almost bringing the Roman legions to their knees.
Although torn between his love for Callistus and his loyalty to his friends and family, Lucius determines that before one or both of them might die, he must find Callistus, confess his love for him, and spend at least one night in the arms of the man he loves.
Damian & Demetrios
When Damian, a young artist, is commissioned to sculpt the image of Demetrios, the current darling of Rome’s arena, he finds himself falling love with the handsome gladiator. Despite his father’s vow to disown him, Damian follows his heart’s desire, and when he and Demetrios are caught in the conflagration that threatens to destroy Rome, their love for one another gives them the strength to survive the flames.
Their future together looks uncertain when Damian is rounded up with the Christians accused of setting the fire, and is forced into a fight to the death in the arena.
