She keeps Rome's most sacred fire burning. One touch could bury her alive.
Livia Marcella has spent eight years as a Vestal Virgin-untouchable, revered, and utterly alone. Her body belongs to the goddess. Her future was decided when she was seven. But when she witnesses a murder in the shadow of her own temple, she's placed under the protection of the one man who could destroy everything she's been taught to be.
Gaius Aurelius Corvinus believes in Roman law with the fervor of a soldier and the precision of a magistrate. He's never met a case he couldn't solve or a rule he couldn't follow-until Livia. Guarding her is duty. Wanting her is treason. Touching her is a death sentence for them both.
As their forbidden investigation draws them deeper into conspiracy, their stolen moments become an addiction neither can afford. Every glance is a confession. Every brush of fingers, a countdown to the grave.
When a ruthless senator weaponizes suspicion against Livia, accusing her of violating her sacred vows, she faces Rome's most horrific punishment: burial alive.
Now Corvinus must choose-uphold the law that defines him, or burn it down to save the woman who's become his reason for breathing.
Some fires were never meant to be extinguished.
