Cassius

She guards her heart like a fortress... When therapeutic riding instructor Diana Thompson is hired to work with a gladiator recovered from his icy tomb after two thousand years, she never expects to find herself face to face with six feet three inches of lethal Roman warrior.

Return to the world of the Awakened From the Ice series, where warriors frozen in time discover that love is the greatest adventure of all. This steamy, slow-burn, time-travel / portal romance fea
