Win...You live. Lose... You die. Wine, women and winning- the three things that all gladiators want, and Cassian, a champion gladiator still recovering from an illness that nearly killed him, wants them more than most. A man of unbridled passion but never love, he has sworn that he will never let another woman into his heart. His title and keeping it are all that matter to him...until her. Violetta, innocent and devout, has only one desire-surviving servitude to the monster who bought her as a slave at only thirteen. Her dreams of the temple are destroyed when her innocence is given away. Gifted, not the gods as she had prayed for, but to a mortal man. He was not just any man, but the champion gladiator that ruled the sands of Velletri's arena and soon, her heart. Owned by different men, both Cassian and Violetta fight for every chance they might have to lay eyes upon one another, praying for even the chance to touch. A bargain between the champion's lanista and the silk merchant that possesses Violetta brings her to his bed with every victory. With his woman as the prize, Cassian will fight any enemy, even his own pride and temper, to have her in his arms. When the stakes are this high, can he face the ultimate question? What is the price of a loss?
Autorenporträt
Born in Hardisty, Alberta Monica developed an undeniable love of reading at an early age. Homeschooled during her primary years, her mother not only taught the basics to her five children, but she also read to them at least twice a day. From Anne of Green Gables to Tolkien's Lord of the Rings the stories and the people behind them instilled a love of the written word. As soon as she could hold a pencil Monica began to write her own stories. Her first complete work was 'Monkey Millionaires' in which a pair of monkeys became millionaires by selling ice cream. While it was a huge hit amongst the kids in the neighborhood it was just the beginning. After discovering the TV show Spartacus, and full immersion into that fandom, Monica was disappointed to find there was very little fiction to satisfy her desire to indulge a love of Roman era romance. The spark was then lit to write the stories she wanted to read herself. Despite some eye-opening experiences (it's not as glamorous a profession as the movies would have you believe) she would not change her journey in the slightest. When she is not working or writing, Monica is a single parent to a little girl. Nothing makes her happier than when her daughter tells her that she wants to be a writer, "Just like you, Mommy." So, to keep inspiring a very special little girl, and to bring some elements of romantic Rome and the romance of real life to some not-so-little girls, she is pleased to be writing as M. Francis Lamont and brings you "The Champion's Prize" the first of her centurion saga and many more stories to come. She encourages everyone to "Live with Passion. Live with Purpose. And most important of all, Never Lose. Welcome to the beginning of something wonderful.
