| About the Books |
What if a part of the Ancient Roman Empire had survived to the present and was ruled by women?
Courageous, loyal and passionate, Carina and Aurelia fight to keep Roma Nova safe from conspiracy, deception, rebels and vengeance takers and to find true comradeship and love.
Book 1
"It’s about Roman blood, survival and money. Mostly yours."
A killer with a personal vendetta is hunting New Yorker Karen Brown. Desperate, she makes a snap decision to flee to Roma Nova – her late mother’s homeland and the last remnant of the Roman Empire in the 21st century. But survival in this tough, unfamiliar culture isn’t easy.
Stifled by her powerful Roma Novan family, deceived by her new lover, yet determined to prove herself, she launches into a dangerous mission – one that could cost her everything. When the killer sets the ultimate trap, she faces an impossible choice: abandon another or sacrifice herself.
A gripping blend of thriller, romance, and coming-of-age, this alternative history novel reimagines Ancient Rome’s legacy through the eyes of a courageous young woman who learns that to survive she must stand her ground.
