She never planned to stay.
He never expected to care.
But somewhere between the words they never said - and the letters they never meant to send - they found something they weren't looking for: each other.
***
Sienna Rae Carter: At 19, she's run far enough to feel free, but not far enough to forget. Trading the waves of her Australian coast for the slow streets of southern Italy, she's only here for one season - to breathe, to escape, and maybe to remember who she was before everything changed.
Matteo De Luca: At 22, he's everything she isn't - rooted, reserved, burdened by responsibility. He's the boy who stayed behind, who carries his past like a second skin. Quietly working in his family's café and binding old books in his spare time, he lives his life in the margins - until she walks in.
Thrown together by a shared routine and an unspoken understanding, they begin to leave notes for each other in the pages of the books they pass between them.
Small words. Simple sentences.
But somehow, each one starts to mean more than either of them intended.
In a town that isn't home - with a girl who doesn't plan to stay - Matteo will learn how to hold on.
And Sienna will learn what it means to be held.

Unordered Love જ⁀➴ ✉︎
Some things you can't plan. Some people you can't forget. Sienna, with book-occupied hands and earphones always in, has never left Ashford Hollow - and doesn't plan to. She lives where she most wants to, journaling all her thoughts in shitty notebooks and serving espresso shots at the Hallow Café. Soft eyes, quiet soul, music in her bloodstream. She's not looking for love. Or drama. Or anything, really. Then Mateo walks in - A Spanish student with shy curls, geeky glasses, and bad playlists. He orders an oat milk latte and asks her for songs that feel like ache. She gives him Phoebe Bridgers. Mitski. A dog-eared copy of The Bell Jar. He keeps coming back - 7 a.m, every morning. Just to see her. It all happened so fast. A double date she didn't want. A surprise she definitely didn't expect. A letter in her mailbox. And everything spirals sweetly from there. Kisses in parking lots, shared headphones, stolen hours. But when she asks him what they are, he says nothing. He just smiles awkwardly. In that moment, something in her stomach cracks. Because Mateo's hiding something. She just doesn't know what. Love letters don't fix everything, but maybe they're a start.![Living With The Bad Boy [COMPLETE][VERSION ONE]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/191352999-256-k359168.jpg)
Living With The Bad Boy [COMPLETE][VERSION ONE]
[COMPLETE] ------How do you stay away from someone you live in the same house with?------ Sienna Brown isn't popular. She's never been to a high-school party, gotten drunk, or gotten a grade lower than an A. In high school hierarchy, Sienna is practically invisible. Her main goals in life are getting the hell out of Virginia, going to college, and definitely not falling for Jase Turner, all-star lacrosse player and the biggest jerk in school. Until now. When Sienna's mom loses her job and they're suddenly forced to move into the Turners' house as an act of generosity, Sienna vows never to fall for Jase and his charms. However, as she soon discovers, everyone keeps secrets... and sometimes the people you have perfectly type-cast end up being the ones you know least of all.

From Osaka, With Love
Hailey Skye Thompson didn't fly halfway across the world for love. She came to Osaka for a one-semester exchange, chasing her dream of exploring Japan while studying industrial engineering. Her goals were simple: survive language class, take cute photos of vending machines, and maybe stop getting lost in train stations. Enter Shun Yamazaki-mechanical engineering major, black sheep of a high-profile political family, and walking Pinterest board in silver rings and a hoodie. Their first meeting? An awkward rescue mission involving tears, croquettes, and a language barrier. Their second, third, fourth? Completely accidental... or so she thought. He's frustratingly charming. She's flustered and totally not crushing. What starts as playful run-ins turns into quiet glances at class, hoodie-lending, flirty texts, and moments she's scared to name. But semesters don't last forever. With her flight back to Michigan fast approaching, Hailey writes a letter she may never send-and wonders if love found in a foreign city can survive the distance. Because some goodbyes feel too soon. And some people feel too right to let go. A love story stitched across time zones, hoodie sleeves, late-night calls, and a goodbye letter never meant to be given. Welcome to the city where it all started- From Osaka, With Love.Complete
Rain Check on My Heart
Sienna had long since stopped believing in love. Once upon a time, she'd given her heart away, only to watch it shatter into a million irreparable pieces. Now, love was nothing but a cruel illusion-something reserved for fairytales and fools. She wasn't either. But then came Jovan Westbrook. He was trouble wrapped in perfection. A walking contradiction. The kind of man who made promises with his eyes but never with his lips. He made her heart race, her skin burn, but he never let her in. Jovan was a storm she was willing to chase, even if it meant getting caught in the wreckage. And she almost had him-almost. But Jovan didn't do love. He was the man who kept his distance, who kissed her like she was his world but never called her his. Sienna wasn't blind; she knew she was nothing more than a beautiful complication to him. A fleeting pleasure. A side piece to his untouchable heart. Still, she stayed. Hoping. Wanting. Loving him when he refused to love her back. Until one day... she disappeared. No notes. No calls. No trace of where she went. Just a gaping emptiness where she used to be. And that's when Jovan felt it-the unbearable ache of missing someone you never let yourself love. Now, he's the one searching. The one chasing. The one who realizes too late that love isn't about convenience-it's about risk, about choosing someone even when it scares the hell out of you. But is he too late? Because some rain checks never get cashed in... and some hearts don't wait forever.Complete

He is the polar opposite of Maya. Smart, confident, and witty. He's often misunderstood for a bad boy, who has quite a handful of girls swooning over him. He's a carefree soul. He is the yin to her yang. What happens when they cross paths and Shawn unleashes Maya's dark secrets? Will he succeed in his mission to pull Maya out of her past, and show what life has to offer? But life is certainly not a bed of roses and nothing comes as easy. _______________________________________________________ They say love can overcome anything. You never exactly know when it will strike and turn your life upside down. Love will make you doubt every single thing that you believe in yet you will find yourself drowning in it slowly, very slowly but deeply. _______________________________________________________ All rights reserved © 2020-Shrya1712Complete

Brie and Claire
"You have secrets." "I do not." "Yes you do, and I'm going to find out what they are." Claire finds herself joining Brie on an unexpected journey, one that she had never imagined to be a part of, when all she was expecting was a boring roommate. Her mundane life from working at a thrift store changes dramatically, when her path collides with Brie's. The two hadn't met since freshman year of high school, and hadn't realised how different they each were from their teenage selves. How their ambitions, passions, and stories had changed, and what life had in hold for the two. Claire, an exceptionally gifted artist, was always eager to put her skills to use. The question is, would she still want to, if she was to rob a gallery. And as for Brie, her story couldn't possibly be put into a single sentence. Are they fearless enough to face the malice of the world? Are they desperate enough to pull off a heist? Are they insatiable enough to fall in love? Ranks: #17 in heist Note: Not just all the characters, but most places like the museum and town in which the story takes place, the painting and artist are all fictional. Note 2: This is a slowburn, do not read if you don't have the patience for it Note 3: WAY too many descriptions of the sky but that's what you get from an author obsessed with sunsets Themes of sexuality, homophobia, mental health/disorders, eating disorders and addiction Credits to @LoonyGlitch for the book coverComplete
