After fighting a long, bitter, twelve year war on behalf of the Terran Confederation, all Samuel Winston wanted to do was to fade into obscurity and marry the love of his life. No sooner than he and Sara have said "I do" than their starliner is beset upon by their enemies from the New Roman Republic. Sam and Sara are separated from one another and sold on the auction block as slaves; Sara to a wealthy businessman on a remote planet within the Republic and Sam to the gladiator world where death is a certainty.

However, one cannot keep a good soldier down and Sam does everything within his abilities to not only stay alive but to also thrive in this alien culture where slavery is a way of life. He is beset by enemies, both seen and unseen, who would like nothing more than to see him dead for the victories that he'd won in the war. Its a race against the clock for him as he knows that it will only be a matter of time before his wife succumbs totally to the life of a sex slave.

Sara knows that Sam will come for her and that its only a matter of time before he succeeds. But she becomes conflicted with her new owner as she adjusts to this new lifestyle under those she once considered to be the enemy. She is constantly manipulated and tormented with implants that boost her sexuality and she finds that she's slowly losing her sense of self with each passing day. When... or if... her husband finds her, will she be the same woman or will she have eyes only for her master? **
