Millionaire Edward Cullen fell quickly for small town Bella, and their dreamy romance soon led to wedding bells. But their relationship’s foundation is anything but sturdy.

When their new marriage is about to fall apart, Bella inexplicably goes missing. Edward is determined to search for her, but does Bella want to be found?

A time-jumping romance filled with love, heartache and intrigue. Rated for language and some sexuality.

I'd been dissatisfied more times than I could count in the past two years, which probably wasn't a bad thing. Usually, it just meant another long month of disappointment on my part when we realized the new batch of women were no good. We'd found several candidates that fit our needs, but as was often the case, they lacked that certain spark I'd personally been looking for. It didn't matter, though; I always had a lot of fun deciphering through the rejects.

It wasn't about promiscuity; it wasn't about experimentation, although we did plenty of that. Our program was about learning how to find sexual pleasure, adapting to different methods, and finding that one person who chemically and physically matched us to perfection.

 Rated NC-17 for graphic lemons, sexual/adult content, and foul language. Canon couples...eventually.

Edward is a king in dire need of an heir. Isabella comes from fruitful stock. It should be a marriage made in heaven, right? Well, not quite yet... First, he has to convince her to actually become his queen. Sometimes, doing your duty brings unexpected rewards.

Bella's bad luck has landed her in Chicago for a business trip, with no luggage and no hotel room. Her co-worker, Edward, steps in to help! Her luck is about to change. AH. Canon pairings.

She once lived the life of luxury with her husband, James, until he becomes abusive. With the help of an unlikely friend, she fakes her own death, escapes James' abuse, becomes Bella Swan, and starts fresh in a new town. She meets a handsome young man named Edward who will help her heal, but will she ever fully get over the abuse she suffered? 

When James gets wind that his wife isn't dead, what lengths will he go to take back what he feels is his?

Rated for future lemons, some scenes of violence, and cursing.

(loosely based on Sleeping with the Enemy, but with large differences, and a Twilight twist)

Bella and Edward have been pen pals (the traditional kind, pen and paper stuff) for over a decade, but they never met for reasons even they didn’t know. After fourteen years of “courting through the postal service” and not realizing it, Bella gets engaged to Emmett, a fellow lawyer at the prestigious firm of Ateara, Call, and Uley. They move fast, and a wedding is set for a mere four months after they get engaged. Bella invites Edward to the wedding, wanting to finally meet her longtime friend, and when things go sour the night of the rehearsal dinner, Bella, in her shock, ends up in Edward’s arms. And this is all just the tip of the iceberg for these two…

Rated NC-17 for mature sexual content. Little to no bad language.

Edward leaves Bella, much like the beginning of 'New Moon', however, this time, they are all human and there is quite the twist.  Why did Edward leave Bella?  And what secret is Bella keeping when he leaves?

Can they make a nightmare turn into a dream?

Four weeks before her wedding to Edward, Bella is frustrated. She knows there's little-to-no chance of getting him to bend his rules and boundaries now, but there's no harm in fantasizing about what could happen later. So she begins compiling a list of things that she and Edward can do together once they're happily married. She's surprised to find she might be able to cross some things off earlier than she thought...
