In 1926, some gifts aren't meant for the public eye. Roman is a thirty-four-year-old secret of the Jazz Age, a man of high-class pedigree who has transformed himself into a living masterpiece of forbidden devotion. Clad in a suit of hand-polished black rubber that glimmers like oil under the red lights of a private parlor, he is the most exclusive—and most dangerous—Valentine in New York.

He is a scandal waiting to happen, a 5'5" powerhouse of sophisticated defiance hidden behind the locked doors of a brownstone or the tinted glass of a luxury town car. To seek him out is to step into a world of illicit decadence where the lines between a prize and a provocation are blurred. He is the ultimate Valentine's indulgence, but in the heat of Prohibition, he is strictly off the record.
