I my case, the romance can't end HEA in the historical context. Ciaran is a pagan tribal leader of the Eoghaidh Riata, no matter his Roman education; Julia a christian Roman patrician. She would never adapt to his life, his people would not accept her, and Ciaran would never give up his position as leader for a life in Rome or even Roman Britannia, not after he spent half of the book fighting to oust an ursurper. *sniff*
