Summary: Widowhood agrees with thirty-eight-year-old Claudia Sabina. Her husband and father left her wealthy, but her most prized possession is their gift of independence. She enjoys a freedom few women in male-dominated Roman society will ever know.

One of her most valuable assets is Damon, a young Greek slave bequeathed to her by her father. Intelligent, resourceful and educated beyond the norm for even a freeborn Roman citizen, Damon is a man of many talents. It doesn't hurt that he is also a pleasure to look at.

For months, Damon hides the fact he's fallen in love with his new mistress. He convinces himself he can be satisfied with her nearness--until the night he walks in on her bath, and his rigid control deserts him. Consequences fail to matter as he offers her full use of talents that, until now, he's never revealed.

In a moment of weakness, Claudia crosses the line laid down by Roman law and custom, immersing herself in an illegal and dangerous love affair. A choice that threatens both their futures.

Warning: Imagine what you might do with a naked Greek god whose sole purpose is to satisfy your every whim, then keep on imagining. This title contains an abundance of hot, hot, hot M/F loving.

Dakota’s Review: Whew! What a tear jerker! Folks, have your hanky ready when you sit down to read Damon’s Prize, because you’re definitely going to need it. I absolutely was whisked away from the very first page of this book. Ali Katz created a very delightful but heartfelt story with this book. I fell in love right away with her feisty female character. Claudia, a woman who has had her share of tragedy in her life, is to be admired as she tries to come to grips with being free of a man’s rule for the first time in her life. More than a few tears were shed when Claudia had to do as her conscious demanded instead of what her heart wanted. (Hence the hanky.)

What can I say about Ms. Katz’s unlikely hero? Not enough. He was the perfect match for Claudia, and the author did a wonderful job of combining a strong and caring man with a dutiful servant who is anything but submissive. So if you’re looking for a wonderful but touching short story set in ancient Rome, Damon’s Prize is definitely the book for you!
