Bella never jumped, Alice never had her vision and Edward never came back. Six years later, Bella is struggling to make a new life for herself as a teacher in Rochester, New York. How will she fare when a very familiar student crops up in her classroom? Will she be able to remain professional, or will old ties get in the way?

Edward is convinced that getting Bella back is just a matter of 'persuasion', but Bella isn't prepared to be that cooperative. What's more, she's in the grip of a dark secret which threatens to prevent her from loving ever again.

For Bella Swan, life was always a series of moments that consist of highly embarrassing and overly clumsy events that turn her into something of a wallflower. One day, a man who seems perfect for her rescues her twice. He’s smart, he’s sexy and he was gripped by her. The only catch is that he’s dating someone else. That someone else just so happens to be Bella’s sister.

Thanks to zilehon for the quote. :)

Bella is trapped in a loveless marriage with Edward Cullen - a man she hardly knows. When his father dies, Edward uproots them from their life in New York City and moves into his father's now-empty house in the heart of Colorado. Amidst the desolate, beautiful landscape Bella begins to realize that perhaps there is more to her cold, apathetic husband  than she thought.

Bella is quickly on her way to being a married woman, but what happens when she questions her commitment? AU, AH, OOC.

What if Edward wasn't single when he met Bella? Will he stay with his mate out of loyalty and obligation or will he take a chance and pursue true love? AU for the first book.

I had always viewed my existence since changing into a vampire as being like a starry night; mostly darkness but with a few scattered bright spots. I had thus far only been able to escape the tedium and misery of this life with a modicum of sanity due to the rare occasions that I was able to make my mate happy.

That was before. Before the Gods of Fate had intervened and made a mockery of my existence, chewing it up and spitting out the pieces. Before Bella Swan had moved to town and I proved unable just to leave her alone. Before my relationship with my mate violently combusted in an act of sadistic pleasure. Now, the storm clouds had rolled in and blocked out all the stars, and my life was a grey, depressing mess.

Rated for some swearing and lemons later on.
