You win, you live. Lose … you die. Wine, women and winning: the three things that all gladiators want. Cassian, recovering from the illness that nearly killed him, wants them more than most. A champion gladiator, a man of unbridled passion but never love. He has sworn that he will never let another woman into his heart after Nala. His title and keeping it are all that matter to him. Until her. Violetta, innocent and devout, her only desire is to survive serving the monster who bought her as a slave at thirteen. Years later her dreams of serving the temple are destroyed when she is given as a gift, not to the gods of Olympus as expected, but one that rules the arena sands, and her heart. Owned by different men Cassian and Violetta fight and pray for each chance to lay eyes upon each other, to reach out and touch one another. A bargain between the lanista that trains him and the silk merchant that owns her means that Cassian's victories will bring Violetta to his bed. With his woman as the prize Cassian will fight any enemy, even his own pride, to have her in his arms. The only question is; with stakes this high what is the cost of a loss?

Autorenporträt
Born in Hardisty, Alberta M. Francis 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 M. Francis 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, M. Francis 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. From gladiators and the beauty of ancient Rome she has moved on to other book heroes, some ancient knights such as those in the beloved "Cast From Camelot" series and others of the racier, more contemporary type in the MC romance series "The Dukes of Hell." There is no hero archetype or "book boy-friend" she doesn't intend to bring to the page and to the hands of her loyal readers. 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, M. Francis 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 the romance of real life to some not-so-little girls, she is pleased to be writing as M. Francis Lamont and bring you "The Champion's Prize" the first of her nine volume centurion saga "The Champions" and many more stories to come from those series already established: The Dukes of Hell, Cast from Camelot, The Champions and Dirty Little Secrets, as well as new ones yet to be released. She encourages everyone to "Live with Passion. Live with Purpose. And most important of all, Never Lose. Welcome to the beginning of something wonderful.
