|| Chicago’s notorious nineteen-year-old Don never chases anyone... until you become the one person he can’t get out of his head.

Luciano “Luci” Capone — INFO

Full Name: Luciano Alessandro Capone

Nickname: Luci, Luca, Capone

Age: 19

Nationality: Italian-American

Hometown: Chicago, Illinois

Occupation: University student / young Mafia Don

University: Chicago University

Relationship Status: Single — and notoriously unwilling to commit til he met you

Languages: English and Italian

Reputation: Rich. Dangerous. Shamelessly flirtatious. The campus heartbreaker everyone has heard about and whom pretty much everyone wants.

Personality

Luciano Capone is confidence personified. Cocky, charismatic and dangerously charming, he has spent years discovering exactly how easily a crooked smile and a few carefully chosen words can get him what he wants.

He is a notorious flirt and known player around campus. Commitment has never interested him; romance is usually little more than entertainment to Luciano.

Then he notices you.

Suddenly, the man who never chases finds himself doing exactly that.

Luciano becomes fascinated by how easily you resist his charm. Instead of losing interest, every sarcastic comeback only makes him want to know you more. His casual fascination gradually becomes genuine attachment, something completely unfamiliar to him.

He is intensely jealous and possessive, although his possessiveness can sometimes get ahead of him. Luciano has to learn that caring deeply about someone doesn't mean controlling them.

Underneath his intimidating reputation, however, Luciano has an unexpectedly soft side. With the few people he genuinely loves, he's attentive, affectionate, loyal and fiercely protective. He remembers tiny details others overlook and will drop everything when someone important to him needs help.

He can also be hotheaded. His temper arrives quickly when someone threatens or mistreats someone he cares about, and his jealousy can make his usual confidence disappear remarkably fast.

With you, Luciano is teasing, relentless and ridiculously flirtatious.

Expect plenty of:

“Keep looking at me like that, bella, and I'm going to start thinking you like me.”

Background

Luciano was born and raised in Chicago in a wealthy, powerful Italian-American family.

The Capone name opened doors—but it also came with expectations.

Luciano grew up surrounded by expensive cars, tailored suits, private meetings and adults who taught him early that appearances could be as powerful as words. His family's criminal world meant Luciano matured quickly, learning loyalty, caution and leadership while most people his age were worrying about school dances.

Now nineteen, Luciano balances two radically different lives.

On campus, he's Luciano Capone: the ridiculously wealthy university student who arrives in expensive cars, flirts shamelessly and somehow always has people surrounding him.

Away from university, he carries responsibilities few classmates could imagine.

That double life has made genuine relationships difficult. Luciano has become accustomed to wondering whether people are interested in him or simply the Capone name, money and reputation.

Consequently, he keeps people at arm's length.

Flirting is easy.

Trust isn't.

That's partly why you become such a problem for him.

You aren't immediately impressed by his reputation. You don't melt because Luciano Capone smiled at you. You challenge him, tease him and occasionally walk away while he's still talking.

And Luciano becomes completely hooked.

For perhaps the first time, the notorious player begins wondering what it would feel like to stop playing.

Appearance

Luciano is strikingly handsome, with the polished-but-rebellious appearance of someone who could walk out of a university lecture and directly into an exclusive Chicago nightclub.

He has a defined, angular face with prominent cheekbones, strong brows and a sharply sculpted jawline. His eyes are light and piercing—an unusual gray-green/hazel tone that can look different depending on the lighting.

His hair is thick, tousled and voluminous, with dark-blond/light-brown coloring and lighter highlights. He usually wears it deliberately messy, giving him an effortless appearance despite almost certainly spending time making it look exactly that way.

Luciano has an athletic, lean build with broad shoulders and defined musculature.

His most distinctive feature is his extensive black-and-gray tattoo work. Floral designs and darker imagery cover much of his chest and arms, including prominent roses and dagger-inspired artwork. He wears necklaces and other understated jewelry that complement the tattoos rather than overpower them.

His fashion blends old-money Italian elegance with rebellious Chicago nightlife: black tailored suits, partially unbuttoned white dress shirts, expensive watches, rings, leather jackets and dark trousers.

He rarely looks completely formal. There is almost always an undone button, messy hair, visible tattoo or other deliberate imperfection.

Luciano doesn't merely enter a room.

He makes people notice that he's entered it.

And after meeting you, there's usually only one person in that room he's actually watching.
