A fighter facing impossible choices…

Maya Andrews built her gym from nothing, cleaning up her father’s messes along the way. Still, nothing prepared her for her father’s latest scheme—a stolen gladiator preserved in ice for two millennia. Now she’s all that stands between an honorable warrior and those who would turn him into a lab experiment. If only he didn’t make her burn hotter than arena sand every time he kneels, bows his head, and calls her "Domina."

…a gladiator who never broke…

Through arena battles and brutal punishments, Victor kept his dignity and principles intact. Now he’s awakened two thousand years later, pursued by deadly forces he barely understands. His only anchor is the fierce trainer pretending to own him. He knows she’s lying to him, but can’t ignore the heat between them that could melt ice itself.

…together they defy destiny…

As Maya and Victor flee across the desert with corporate mercenaries in pursuit, they discover that passion and protection transcend time itself. But with pharmaceutical companies willing to kill for his DNA and nowhere left to run, they’ll have to risk everything—including their hearts—to survive.

Thawed Gladiator: Victor written by USA TODAY Bestselling author Alana Khan is a scorching, slow-burn, forced proximity, found family, time portal romance where a warrior frozen in time discovers that love is the greatest adventure of all.
