Stuck With The Enemy

This book is fiction and made for entertainment purposes only. It is not entirely historically accurate. !!!!!!! !! If you're a reader/seeing this on another site that's not Wattpad, then my book most likely got copied and pasted onto an unsafe fanfiction app page. !!

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 19thcentury

It Began In Italy | ✔️
One last trip with her family before she goes to University. Her intentions for this trip were to spend every minute making memories and savouring the last moments she'd get with her family before she moved away. She did this, just not with who she had planned. In the Italian sun it's easy to make rash decisions and to have a lapse in judgement. Especially when a man, you've only just met, comes into play. When he's showing you the island and teaching you Italian, how can you not fall madly in love? With three weeks to spend, will she let herself fall head over heels for a guy she will most likely never see again, or will she stick with her former plan and come to her senses?
