A storm is brewing. A storm of salty air, arguing and heartbreak in Florence, Italy.
Benedetto knows what will come. He knows the storm will tear the family apart, but there's nothing he can do. The storm he sees is figurative.
He knows that the eye of the storm is the calmest part. But after that? Benedetto knows that it's stronger. He can't stay any longer.
Donatello has heard of the word storm before. But what he thinks it is is different from what everyone else sees. The storm he sees seems real. The storm he sees, is real, to him. The storm he sees is his mind.
He must venture into the city to find shelter from his storm. He must get out, away from Italy, but there is no escaping his storm.
Their paths intertwine, both on a runaway trail.
They find something in each other, and the storms go away.

Flowers of Florence
William Dalton, an aspiring writer, moved from Manchester to London to find inspiration for his first novel. He meets Michael Eaton, a fashion designer who takes pity on him and offers him ways of finding inspiration. Michael offers to take William on a trip to Florence, Italy. Little does William know that this trip will give him more than just inspiration. This LGBTQ+ story takes place in the 1890s. It handles topics about family trauma, the death of a loved one, manipulation, homophobia/slurs, and long-distance romance, but it also tells us about values, symbolism, friendship, and romance. This story, which started as a short story to pass the time while I procrastinate, has become something greater than what I expected, but I have found the motivation to see it through as a fully-fledged novel. I hope this romantic story gives you just as much joy as it brought me when writing it. - Fa Highest rankings: #1 symbolysms #1 1890 #5 19century #632 19thcenturyComplete

Mr. Regnante [Mafioso Book#1] (SAMPLE)
*Heighest ranking 26th in Love, 1st in General Fiction, and 1st in Tragedy, as well as no#1 in mystery* When you're the most feared and powerful Italian Mafia Boss, you cannot have the world know of your existence or of any personal ties you may have. Otherwise bad things tend to happen, and this man learned that lesson the hard way. Now, he refuses to allow anyone close to him, much less get anywhere past his cold exterior. Their story wasn't meant to begin like it did. They weren't meant to meet the way they did. After all, she was only a university student and he was a ghost. Nonexistent, a rumor, a story you told your children at night. But when the most unforeseen circumstances cause their paths to cross, not once, not twice, but thrice--an encounter that ends with the vow of discretion and avoidance. They have no choice but to acknowledge they have to stay away before one of them gets hurt. Which is exactly what happens. This causes another encounter between the two, but this time with a promise of safety and security, because he owes her his life. *** "I say what I mean, and I do what I say." He assured in a low rumbling voice that had her transported back to older times. "And when I say I will keep you safe, believe me, that not even a hair on your head will be touched."

Hearts and Bodies- cmbyn
Eventually, his shoes stepped in front of mine, so close that his pointed brown toecap nearly touched the scuffed toes of my old vans. Old and new, coming together as if time and wear had never mattered at all. Perhaps if I stared at his shoes long enough, I could forget that his face was there at all and I would never have to say a word to him. I would never even have to look him in the eye. He would never look into mine and read right away that I hated him more than I had ever hated anyone else, but also that I loved him more than I had ever loved too. And that such a love made me willing to let go of all of my hatred, my resentment, for just a small dose of what I'd had before. If I could pour Oliver into a needle and shoot him straight into my veins, letting my eyes roll back into my head and reality slip away from me, laying in a delicious delusion, I would never want for a single other thing. *** Twenty years after their first encounter, Elio is learning to accept that he and Oliver will never be together. Now living in Dresden, teaching music, and in a relationship with someone new, his time with Oliver feels a world away. Except, it's not. Oliver comes crashing back into his life and Elio realises that he can never truly move on from the Summer in Northern Italy.
