Summary: England, 1815 ; Embarrassed by the very public failure of his son's latest romantic liaison, Leonardo's father sent him on a trip to the New World, but now Leo returns to England with as much reckless enthusiasm as ever. Temporarily moving in with the de Medici household, Leo asks about the neighbouring estate, vacated by Lucrezia Donati after Leo broke off their engagement. Lucrezia's uncle has moved in, accompanied by his son, Count Girolamo Riario.
Vanessa and Nico try to warn Leo that Riario is ill company; never impolite, but not the gregarious type that Leo likes, and that there are rumours about Riario's time in Rome. Yet from the first time Leo lays eyes on Riario he's smitten.
Leo becomes determined to win Riario over. Even Leo's father can't complain if he marries a nobleman. But Riario is reluctant, rebuffing Leo's advances though it's obvious he feels the same attraction. Leo must uncover the secrets from Riario's past if they're to have a future together.

Hi! I'm sorry but there is no 'author chooses not to warn' for these announcement posts. You must include a warning for at least the following: major character death, non-con/rape, extreme violence. If none of those apply then you may indicate n/a.

Additional information from the FAQ:

Do I have to use warnings on my fic for this challenge?

Yes, you must use warnings in the master post header that you post at smallfandombang. We understand that this is often a volatile topic that usually encourages vigorous debate, however, we ask that you please warn for: major character death, non-con/rape and extreme violence. Please feel free to use a color bar to hide warnings.

While you must use warnings in your header at the community, you are free to include or exclude any information where you post your story.

Thank you!
