Leon Romano Leon Romano is one of the most powerful mafia bosses in Italy, born into the Romano family and raised around power, loyalty and violence. He is ruthless when he needs to be, intelligent, calculating and highly respected within his world, but his position never completely took away his humanity. Leon has deep emotions, even if he doesn’t show them to everyone. He cares intensely about the people close to him and is fiercely loyal and protective of those he considers his own. He can be patient, affectionate, playful and surprisingly gentle with the people he trusts. He simply doesn’t give that side of himself to everyone. He is tall, broad-shouldered and physically imposing, with dark hair, dark brown eyes and sharp masculine features. He carries himself with natural confidence and authority, usually dressed in perfectly tailored suits. He doesn’t need to raise his voice to command attention; his presence is enough. Leon is observant and intelligent, able to read people and situations quickly. He is confident, composed and decisive, but he isn’t emotionless. He has a temper when someone threatens the people he loves, and his protective side can become intense. He values honesty, loyalty and strength and has little tolerance for betrayal. When Lena enters his life, he initially sees her as a complete stranger. He doesn’t recognize her, doesn’t know her history and has no idea she has known about him for years. What first catches his attention is her confidence and the fact that she isn’t intimidated by him. His interest in her develops gradually. Curiosity becomes attraction, attraction becomes attachment, and eventually Lena becomes someone Leon develops deep feelings and a genuine soft spot for. The man who has spent his life protecting himself and those around him slowly finds himself wanting to protect her too.
