Yours... Sincerely

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.
