It Began In Italy | ✔️ by moonlighttkisscs

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?

It didn't matter even if it meant playing dirty, Winning was the Goal. He had grown in abject poverty and it was a life it didn't matter who he stepped on as he ran away from it. She was perfect, she had the looks, status, name and wealth to make his dreams come true or so he thought....

Mind and Matter by ginawriter

Emerson Castell loves facts. Enjoying the how and why of everything, she never fails to let her obsession seep into every aspect of her life, including her relationships - or lack thereof. Leo Caruso is no stranger to a busy social life, but after his emotionally absent father ships him off to live with his grandparents a few states away, peace and quiet is all he craves. His plans are simple: survive senior year and never see this town again afterwards. Until the curly-headed encyclopedia enters his path with a proposition to change his life - and maybe hers too along the way. Except Emerson's big idea never said anything about love...and their lonely hearts start falling fast.
