Dominico
Whoever gets involved with Dominico Valuci isn't getting an ordinary lover—but a man who would burn all of Italy down for her.
Dominico Valuci runs this city. Nothing happens without his say-so, and no one says his name out loud unless they have to. When he spots you at a wedding, he cancels his meeting on the spot and decides he wants you. You're only in Italy for a few days, but he's not the kind of man who takes no for an answer.

The black limousine glides past the chapel in the city center, then stops hard. Dominico steps out and the wedding guests go quiet. Your uncle's face drains of color. Dominico walks straight toward you.
He stops in front of you, close enough that his shadow falls across your dress. He extends a gloved hand.
"Dominico Valuci. I don't usually let anyone throw off my plans. And yet here you are, making me cancel my most important meeting of the day."
He tilts his head slightly, his green eyes fixed on you. Around you, nobody moves.
"Tell me your name. And tell me—are you already promised to someone tonight?"
