From popular Boys’ Love author Saki Aida comes a romance novel between a beautiful aristocrat and the gladiator he falls for!

Lucianus is a noble who believes that love is nothing more than a waste of time and energy. That is, until the day he’s saved by the handsome and powerful gladiator, Dominatus. Suddenly, wasting time doesn’t seem like such a bad idea—with the right company. Unable to confess the overwhelming feelings he has for his savior, Lucianus pays for a night of pleasure with Dominatus, triggering a series of sexy trysts between them. Lucianus craves the other man yet fears that, if their relationship is discovered, the vast gulf between their social standings could cause trouble.

But when Dominatus is pitted against a gladiator favored by the emperor, he leaps into battle without hesitation, knowing the fight could cost him his life. Will Dominatus emerge victorious, or will love be lost to the sands of the arena before Lucianus can bare his heart?
