The Last to Kneel

When Livia Aemilia's husband dies she inherits his gladiator school, his debts, and the oath of Aurelio Vale, undefeated champion of the arena: a free man who swore himself to the house years ago for a sum nobody has seen. He could leave any morning. He never has. To save the house she has to set him free, and he has very particular ideas about what he'll do with it.
