Fortunately for you, we’ve compiled a list of reads we love that will be sure to tug at your heartstrings. It’ll be love at the first line—or so we can hope.

The Last Gladiatrix
Author: Eva Scott
Xanthe is a slave in a Roman legion. Titus is the soldier who trains her for the Colosseum fight she was never supposed to be involved in. He knows he’s broken a rule by rerouting her from the traditional role of a courtesan, but he also knows she’s got what it takes to be a contender—and their private sessions are proving him right so far. The thing is, they’re fast developing a romance, which would mean death for them both if it were to be discovered. Xanthe is not Titus’s property to use as he pleases, and Titus is usurping a privilege he could only hope to possess in the open. With everything at stake, can they tear themselves away from each other? Or their love will be able to find a way to conquer all? (Book 1 of the Romancing the Romans series.)
