What's in a name? Some people believed it was all that you truly owned in this world, but that couldn't be farthest from the truth. For some a name is passed on through generations, demanding a life that one is never truly prepared for; to follow in ones' shoes is a mighty task that many had failed. A name. Something so easily passed on and changed by a simple document. He carried the name. Was blood to two of the most powerful families in their own rights' yet it meant nothing. Everything that he did to honor the name meant nothing to those around him. His name, branded like cattle, struck fear in his enemies, but the impurity of his blood was only valued to those close to him as long as he served his purpose. For 31 years, Jacopo understood his place in the world. He was the protector of his families and would do whatever it took to protect them, but when the one person that secretly held his heart is taken by his blood, his purpose becomes skewed. Love and loyalty always went hand and hand, but when loyalty threatens love, the family protector will be forced to make a decision that could change his life forever.

I swore to never fall again... Temptation was the product and I was the seller. It was my job to be every woman's fantasy yet here I was struggling to rid myself of the life I had before. Love came easy for me, ever since I could remember. Being in love had never been the challenge. It was staying in love that was the hard part. I'd give my all and nothing ever seemed to be enough. Well, that was before I entered the palace. Here I was more than a lovesick puppy begging for its next meal. Here, I was a king, a legend that got as much as he gave. Here I sat at the top of the castle accepting offer after offer day in and day out. Love no longer lived here. Nope, that silly little four-letter word has rid itself from my life...at least that's what I thought until she entered the palace.

Women were all the same. No matter how much love you gave they were going to chew you up and spit you out every chance you gave. That's why I stopped giving them chances. It was hard to get your heartbroken when it had been ripped away and tossed aside like a piece of paper stained by all the wrong words.My place at the palace was solidified. I was the one that women came in flocks to see, hoping that I'd come down from my pedestal for a chance to tame the beast inside. Little did they know that had already been done. The past was the past and now I saw life through a different set of eyes, a much clearer set, but leave it up to her to come crashing back into my life, blurring my view. ***Warning*** This story has moments where dark themes are mentioned, but aren't described in great detail and may be triggering to some.
