She was meant to be a dutiful asset. She chose to spark a rebellion.

Lyrra Aemilia Secunda knew her life was charted: an arranged marriage to the powerful Carthaginian Gisco, a fate dictated by convention. She was meant to be a prize, not a person. Then she met Hanno, a rogue spice merchant with a scandalous reputation and a gaze that promised forbidden heat. He saw the spark of defiance in her, the woman beneath the Roman facade, and suddenly, duty felt... optional.

Their stolen moments ignite a passion that threatens to unravel everything. But Hanno's past is as treacherous as the sea, and when Gisco learns of their affair, his response is chillingly precise: erase Hanno.

Now, Lyrra must choose between the life she despises and a love that could cost them everything. Will she remain a pawn, or will she embrace the fire within and burn it all down?

Experience the heat, the history, and the high-stakes adventure in this spicy historical romance that will leave you breathless.

Sylvie D. Harlowe writes spicy romances that explore the fiery intersection of society, psychology, and unapologetic desire. With a lifelong fascination for ancient and hidden worlds, a keen insight into the human heart, and a love for sprawling landscapes and placid bodies of water, she crafts tales of fierce heroines who defy convention and heroes who are both supportive and utterly devastating (in all the best ways). Sylvie's writing delves into themes of reclaiming agency, examining complex trauma, the universal power of passion, and the enduring quest for a ""happily-ever-after"", no matter the era or obstacle. When she's not unearthing ancient secrets or plotting her next adventure across varying times and locales, Sylvie might be found admiring ancient coins, spending time with her family, or simply enjoying the quiet beauty of nature.CONNECT WITH SYLVIEFollow @sylvie.d.harlowe on TikTok, Instagram, and other platforms.
