"Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. And the higher you bet, the higher the fall."

Mid 19th Century, Mexico City. Mauro Larrea, self made-man, widower, with two grown children and a sucessful bussiness, has made a terrible financial mistake. So of course, he gets engaged to his daughter's best friend for her dowry. Because that is what you do when you face potential social disgrace. It is either that, or asking Tadeo Carrús for a loan. And you know Mauro. He is too proud and too old to go back to being indebted to an usurer. Much better to marry you, the girl he has known since she was a fresh faced debutante, and now is a bit of an old maid. Now, he only has to convince you to give him your dowry. Will you let him?

Meet Mauro Larrea, from La Templanza. I was going to work on my tyrant series, but La Templanza was my monthly read and I was so excited when I realized it had a show, only to find it sucked! What did you do to my poor girl Mariana! So of course, I had to fix it. Have Mauro, my absolute crush. I used another personality style for him, and I am so so excited to try it.
