After unexpectedly being given an antique desk and finding a letter written by Edward to his cousin over nine decades earlier in a hidden compartment, Bella, on a whim, decides to respond and starts them on a journey neither could have ever imagined. 

Perhaps there are some things we aren't meant to understand, just accept....

This story will eventually contain character death - NOT Edward or Bella.

On Bella's first day of college, she's seated next to mirror image of her dead mother. In her quest to find out the truth behind the resemblance, she's drawn into a world she never knew existed

What if your soul mate is born seventy years after your death?  Could you wait?

She was lost in him, the taste of his blood and the feel of his skin against her mouth.  She acknowledged that from this moment on there would be no turning back.

Summary:  Two reluctant vampires find themselves mated, each requiring the other’s blood to survive.  She will fight it.  He will fight for her.  In the end, their blood will save them both.  

Story contains adult themes, graphic lemons, and violence.

From the author that brought you Vanity and Patience...

Coming home has always been painful for Rachel Black since the loss of her mother.  After graduating early from Washington State, she's left to face her demons and return home to LaPush. It wasn't supposed to be a permanent move — just a visit. 

What she didn’t anticipate was stumbling upon her destiny at First Beach — one that she doesn’t accept immediately. How will Paul get her to give in? You’ll just have to see…

Rated NC-17 for language and adult themes.

When fate delivers beautiful, broken Bella to his family's doorstep, Edward and Bella's lives are forever changed, for better or for worse. All human.

An except from Bella's diary, a hundred and fifty years after her death:

I can't remember my human life, but I remember the first day of my immortality. I remember it with perfect clarity, just as I remember every day that I have lived since. I remember the sights and smells that assaulted my vampiric senses as I opened my eyes to this brave new world. I remember his blood red eyes.

But I don't mean for this to be a story of my early years. I mean for this to be an explanation, a justification. Maybe if I write it all down, I can figure out where this went so terribly wrong. I didn't have a choice about my change. Fate had destined me to live out eternity among the undead. But I had been the one to love two men. I had been the one to break both their hearts and to destroy my own happiness. They couldn't live with what I had done, and neither could I. My family was gone...because of me.

How do you go on, knowing this?

A companion story to The Sun Refused to Shine.

Rosalie is content to live her vampire life to its fullest, regardless of her resentment of her immortal situation. One day while hunting she comes across a dying man with an innocent face that she cannot resist. In an act of strength, she brings him home to change him into one of them.

How does the vain and selfish Rosalie deal with an irrational newborn vampire who can’t see past his lust for blood to even notice her? Will she be able to swallow her pride and have the patience to stand by him? Will Emmett be the man who can change her life for the better?

All Chapters are Rosalie's POV

Dearest Reader,

Come, pull up a chair and sit by me. Locked in these pages you will find my story, my memory, my secrets, my heart, my life, my death, some things that came after and everything in between.

Can I trust you with it?

It is truly fantastic and not for the faint-hearted. Not for the realist, not for the cynic, no never for the cynic, only the pure hearted will find purchase here. Lend me your ear, your open mind and heart and I will pull you to a myth you dare not dream of, a myth you unknowingly live every day.

Tell me dearest, do you believe in Angels? Not as Dogma, not as testament to whichever religion bears your faith, not fairies with wings and halos. Can you believe in the beings of light, of strength and power that govern here on earth, the beings that hold all things in order, beings that guard your humanity?

Perhaps Angels is the wrong word, a word they would see with distaste. So we shall call them what they are in essence, the guardians. Do you believe?  Can you believe in the mythical? If you cannot, this is no place for you. I’ll give you a moment to ponder this. Please do not tread lightly upon my  request.

As I have learned all too harshly, prepared or not, one can never go back. "
