The Romano Empire

My life was controlled by chaos until the night I first laid eyes on her. She became my obsession, my salvation, my angel. I never thought she would be mine, I thought my darkness would ruin her. But when her life is threatened, I can't hold back any longer. I'll raise hell on earth to protect her, to keep her safe, to make her mine. I don't deserve her, but I'm keeping her anyway.

She was forbidden; our families rivals. It's been ten years since I stared into those blue eyes and broke her heart. After that, she disappeared. She left and never looked back... until now. But she can't hide the heartbreak that's still in her eyes... and something else that I can't place. Now that she's back? In my city? In my sights? I'll never be able to let her go. Except new dangers outweigh the old ones, and I'm not sure we even stand a chance. The question is, will she look me in the eye and lie to me?
