    Summary

    When they met, Yusuf was a merchant trading across Europa, and Nicolò a priest turned warrior paying off a debt of honor in the Norse lands. Yusuf fell in love with Nicolò slowly - spending a week together each year before he was compelled to travel onwards and leave Nicolò behind.

    Nicolò fell in love almost as soon as they met.

    Now they are each other’s, crossing Europa side by side. Ahead of them is a journey of a thousand miles, and a lesson that loving a person up close is very different to loving them from afar.

    Summary

    Nicolò’s path has always been clear. As the third son he would become a monk and dedicate his life to the service of God. Nicolò has come to accept that, but when a mysterious stranger is washed up on shore and placed into his care, Nicolò has to fight with the temptation of everything he never knew he could want: companionship, friendship and maybe even more.

    Summary

    Booker sucked in a large, deep breath, “When Merrick had you and Nicky. When Dr. Kozak was working on you, did they… did they take semen samples?”

    Joe was taken aback and felt some new emotion gnaw deep in his gut. “What?” he gasped.

    “Joe, you have to see where I’m going with this.”

    “I… I don’t know, we were in and out of it a lot. There were so many drugs in our system, we died many times. I have no specific memory, but maybe? I don’t know. She took a piece of everything else. Why? Why?”

    “Because I have Nicky’s son with me,” Booker said after an eternally long pause.

    Summary

    Nico blinks. “I cannot help what I am. I won’t apologize.”

    “Of course not,” Jo corrects, angry on his behalf. “None of this is your fault. None of it is mine, either. We’re disposable, you and I. To these people. But not to one another.” 

    .

    Rome, First Century BC. Jovilius "Jo", famed gladiator, is a force to be reckoned with in the arena. Nicknamed Invictus for his prowess and constitution, he is able to catch the eye of the Emperor with ease. For his successive victories he is rewarded a night with the Emperor's concubinus - the kindhearted yet sharp-tongued Nico - and the two men discover they have much more in common then they seem to realize.

    But Jo is only a mere couple of wins away from affording total freedom. And the more time he spends with Nico, the less he can picture a future without him.
