In the shadow of the Colosseum, desire knows no rank.
Marcellus, a dutiful Praetorian Guard and senator's son, has spent weeks watching the magnificent gladiator Titus train—his rock-hard abs glistening, his massive sword barely contained beneath his leather subligaculum. What begins as forbidden observation explodes into raw, desperate need when their worlds collide in the steaming chambers of Thermae Caracallae.
When Marcellus chooses the gladiator over his sworn duty, he's thrust into a world of carnal submission where Rome's elite indulge their darkest hungers. On his knees before Titus, surrounded by the Empire's most powerful men, Marcellus discovers that true power comes from surrender—and that nothing feels better than a champion.
But in a Rome where pleasure masks conspiracy, their sessions become a dangerous game. Blackmailed by the sadistic Centurion Severus, betrayed by the very flesh that brings him pleasure, Marcellus must decide: return to his gilded cage or risk everything for the man who has claimed not just his body, but his heart.
From the opulent bathhouses to the sweat-soaked sands of the arena, Conquering the Roman delivers a throbbing tale of lust, betrayal, and liberation. This scorching epic proves that while all roads lead to Rome, the most satisfying path runs directly through a gladiator's bed.
