I haven't had a chance to read Christina Phillips' Forbidden yet, but it's got centurions, druids, emperors - sounds awesome!
Here's more info on the book and the launch party direct from Christina.

FORBIDDEN
Christina Phillips
He was a master of seduction - but no match for the magical allure of the woman he wanted most...
Carys knew from the moment she first spied on Maximus in his naked barbarian glory that he was a dangerous Roman centurion - his taut, battle-scarred flesh marking him as a fearless warrior. But her desire for him was as undeniable as it was illicit.
Charged by his emperor to eliminate a clan of powerful Druids in Britain, Maximus never expects his mission to be thwarted by the clan's ethereal princess, Carys, his daring voyeur. Falling under her spell, he doesn't realize her true heritage - until he captures her heart as well as her body.
As Carys's loyalties are twisted, and freedom is no longer her single-minded obsession, an avenging former lover threatens to crush Maximus's people into oblivion. Now Carys and Maximus must overcome the devastation of war and face the ultimate sacrifice if their forbidden love is to survive.

Oh, this book sounds great! I actually wrote my first book which was about a Roman soldier and a Princess, hehe. Love that it's slightly different than the usual fare. Sounds great!
Thanks for sharing, Nalini!
