I agree that Roman is entirely in this for the money. Blake was right to call him a 'sociopath'.

However, to his credit, once bought, he is a determined and reliable agent. He had no reason to pursue Blake and Sun in volume 2 after they crashed the 'party'. I don't think that the amount of effort and personal risk he took to stop them and later carry out the breach attack can be written off as fear of Cinder's wrath. I think that, as criminal mercenaries go, he has a sense of ethics and this leads to a desire to complete the task for which he ws hired.

Cinder is very beautiful. It is quite possible that (as sad as it is) there is also a tiny amount of wanting to be the Black Knight to the Black Queen.
