In a culture rich in diversity and ripe for change, three young women within the Roman Empire stuggle to find true and lasting love.

Sara is a Jewish slave to a wealthy tribune's siter in Ephesus, but her heart is at peace even as she witnesses her restless master seeking more from his lavish lifestyle. How can she risk showing her heart to him or dare expose her Christianity during Nero's reign of terror?

Chara has been bought off the block by a former slave. But now Decimus's flight from Rome to is self-imposed misson feild of Britiana could be hampered. Can he convince Chara to trust him when he says, as a Christian, he has no use for a slave?

Anna is a Samaritan at a time when the hatred between Samaritans and Jews is at a fever pitch. When she finds herself attracted to a Jewish man, can she bridge the gap between them with her knowledge of Jesus Christ?

The danger of unveiling the passions of their hearts has never been greater. Will these three young Christians expose their faith and find romance in the process-or forfeit everything for a chance to love?
