Fiercely independent, journalist Katherine Sterling had no need for men beyond what they could give her for a night.  But when fate interferes in the form of an assignment with actor Robert Pattinson, will she learn that, sometimes, fate knows best?  Follow these two love-weary hearts as they stumble towards a path that neither could have predicted.

This is the Companion story for Need To Escape, told in Robert's point of view.

This story will make better sense if you read at least the first ten chapters of Need To Escape before starting this one.

The chapters of On the Threshold will parallel NTE. 

What was Rob thinking? Now we'll know.

Bella Swan is a writer that is on a trip of a lifetime. Edward Cullen is a famous actor, whose life is a blur of film-sets, hotels and screaming fans. A destined encounter and a battle of mind over matter erupt amongst sensual music and a shared longing.

Sarah Elizabeth "Dallas" Etheridge meets Robert Pattinson unexpectedly at the Dallas Museum of Art. Five years later, they run into each other again at the DMA, and Rob meets Art.

Winner of Best Angst/Drama and Best PG-13 at the Robert Pattinson Fiction Awards.

When Robert Pattinson needs to escape the crazy life of stardom- he finds an unlikely ally to see him to safety- a quiet bookshop owner who is secretly infatuated with Twilight, and a certain young British actor.

A NYC barman views his mind reading as an isolating cancer, until he meets the lonely 28yr old trying to escape her heartbreaking reality.  Edward has had a life full of harsh lessons.  He trusts nobody.  Bella is faced with an uphill battle in her day-to-day existence.  She never complains about the hand life has dealt her, including when a beautiful boy treats her badly, because she doesn't believe she deserves anything better.  AH ExB

Edward Cullen lives in a world with no complications, and he likes it that way.

An undeniable attraction, a motorcycle, a blog, and a complication. What is really going on down at the Lone Star?

What’s a girl to do when she determines that there aren’t any good men left?  She creates them.  Bella Swan was unlucky in love, so she started creating dream men in fiction.  She wrote about the kind of man she’d love to meet and fall in love with, and for the amount of time it took to write her romance novels, she felt like she had a love of her own.  It wasn’t real, but in her opinion, real love wasn’t something that was within her grasp, so the fantasy was better than nothing. 

One day, suffering from writer’s block, she went to the corner café for a change of scenery.  When a cowboy tripped over her purse, she was so captivated by his appearance, that she had inspiration for a new character in her latest book.  He walked away with only a few words in her direction, and all she had was the visual of his green eyes and wild hair to go on, but for her, it was enough to fuel her imagination.

The stars at night are big and bright…deep in the heart of Texas.  Life holds mysteries that one can never fathom, and maybe there’s such a thing as fate.  Maybe, every once in a while, fate gives a hand to a lonesome cowboy and a romantic at heart…sometimes with a little help from a rabbit.

AH/OOC.  Canon couples.  Rated NC-17 for a reason like always.  Saddle up…we’re going for a ride.

Twelve celebrities. Twelve fans. Twelve houses. Twelve weeks. One million dollars.

That is the tagline to the most anticipated show of the year, I Want to Marry a Celebrity! It grabs Bella Swan's attention from the first moment she reads it, especially after she reads who the twelve celebrity contestants are: Tyler Crowley, Rosalie Hale, Caius Levine, Alice Brandon, Siobhan Firth, Edward Cullen, Kate Denali, James Hunter, Heidi Wells, Jared Wentz, Chelsea Green, and Felix Gerandy.

Though the legal terms are complicated, the conditions are simple enough:

Only persons aged twenty-one or older will be allowed to participate. If selected, the person will be notified pending an investigation of said person's personal background. If nothing out of the ordinary appears in the background information, the person will be notified. The person will be flown out to live up to twelve weeks at the private residence of the person they have been paired with. A camera crew will follow each couple on certain days of the week. Sunday nights a new episode will air, and voting lines will open as soon as the episode is over. On Monday night, a couple will be eliminated until only one pair remains. Once a couple has been eliminated, the person will have twenty-four hours to pack all personal belongings and return to their own place of residence, depending on flights available; otherwise, accommodation will be given through a hotel. The one million dollars in prize money will go to a charity organization of the winning couple's choice.

Warning: If selected, for the duration of your stay you will live the lifestyle of the rich and the famous. These people sacrifice a lot of their privacy, as you will have to. Depending on your popularity on the show, your daily life may include paparazzi.

As Bella, who is one of Edward Cullen's biggest fans, reads the above on the official website, she comes to a decision. She has nothing to lose, since she has never won anything before in her life. Not the coloring contest in the first grade, a spelling bee in third, and certainly not a radio competition to win tickets to the midnight premiere of Edward Cullen's newest film. Someone else always won. With that in mind, and thinking that it definitely won't be her who gets picked, Bella enters her name in the draw to be on the show. Imagine her surprise when she opens her front door nearly seven weeks later, only to find the host of I Want to Marry a Celebrity! on her doorstep. Besides a camera crew with him, there’s also a limousine and a lawyer with a heap of contracts, including a non-disclosure agreement.

“Beautiful day, cute guy, hot coffee…”   What more could a girl ask for?  When PR professional Anna Carr’s chance encounter with actor Robert Pattinson during the filming of Breaking Dawn takes a startling turn, she can’t imagine how drastically her orderly life is about to change.  Will she be able to reconcile her past hurts with a possible future joy?  Will they both be able to adjust to a new life under his unrelenting spotlight?

**WARNING, Pre-Bella whoreishness on Edward's part. Rated NC-17 for graphic (and multiple) lemons and strong language. You've been warned.**

He was the lead singer of The Volturi. One of People's Sexiest Men. I was a new recording artist with an entire album riding on my shoulders. We were Hollywood's newest "it couple." Until he ruined everything - our relationship...my career...his life.  Can our love be saved if he can't even save himself?

A story about love, lemons, lies...and learning to forgive.
