Seventeen-year-old Ivy Hart has always found comfort in the quiet corners of her small coastal town-whether she's sketching in the library or watching the waves crash against the shore. Shy and reserved, she's spent most of her life blending into the background, unnoticed and unbothered. But when a charming new arrival named Leo Walker volunteers to help with the library's annual book sale, Ivy's carefully curated solitude is turned upside down.
Leo is everything Ivy isn't-outgoing, spontaneous, and effortlessly confident. With a guitar in hand and a story he's not ready to tell, he's determined to get to know the quiet girl with the soulful sketches. What starts as a reluctant partnership blossoms into a connection Ivy never expected.
As Leo's music draws her out of her shell and Ivy's art shows him a new way of seeing the world, the two discover that love isn't about changing who you are-it's about being seen, flaws and all. But when fears, secrets, and a misunderstood moment threaten to pull them apart, Ivy must decide: is she brave enough to take a chance on love, or will she retreat back into the safety of her silence?

Weathered Love
"You're not a burden," he said. "OK," I said, again, trying to play it off like I didn't care. I wasn't sure how much longer I could keep up the façade.

"Don't shut me out," he begged in a desperate whisper. *** If only the guys in Ivy's life could be as in love with her as she is with them. Ever the tomboy to keep herself from getting hurt, Ivy knows it's safer to yearn from afar than it is to love up-close.

Or is she condemned to a life on the sidelines, always the buddy, never THAT GIRL?Complete

|| wattpad-featured || || romance reads 2020 2nd place winner || ❝i hope you're not afraid of heights.❞ ❝why so?❞ ❝cause we're gonna fly. ❞ ▬▬▬▬▬▬ Audrey Olsen is an introverted perfectionist and bookworm with the idée fixe of having everything planned out to the finest detail. All she wants is to get through her senior year of high school unscarred and qualify for a college scholarship. What lays ahead is, therefore, nice and clear: just another quiet year amongst studies, shifts at the bookshop, and -- most importantly -- avoidance of drama and unnecessary attention. However, what her perfect plan didn't consider was an unexpected turn of events with the name of Cameron Alvarez -- a troubled and cryptic boy who's returning to what could no longer feel like home. Both haunted by their painful pasts and bearing raging storms inside of them, how could they overcome it all if not together? Yet how dangerous would that be, -- to step off the edge of the precipice and let nothing but the force of gravity interfere as you free-fall. . . But as Audrey well knows, anything that falls, sooner or later gets broken. Is that a risk she's willing to take? ▬▬▬▬▬▬ © All Rights Reserved. 2020 FEATURED ON: @YA @YARomance @TeenFiction @Romance @WattpadMulticultural @WattCliches || highest ranks reached - #1 in sociallyawkward ||Complete
