Womanizing Edward is in a cover band with his brother and best friend, who are pissed that Edward has managed to send their last three lead singers heading for the hills with his tendency to fool around carelessly.  Emmett and Jasper decide to create a "no intra-band dating" rule. 

But what happens when a gorgeous, talented brunette walks into the audition?  Will Edward adhere to his bandmates' new rule, or will he pursue what's now off limits?  OOC Edward/Bella.  Rated for DIRTY HUMOR and lots of future LEMONY GOODNESS. Canon pairings.

A life-changing event drives teenage Bella from her home in Arizona to live with her father in Forks. Will she be ostracized for the choices that she has made, or will she find the love & acceptance that she craves for her and her new baby?

THIS STORY HAS BEEN PUT ON HIATUS. At least until september-october 2010. I am getting married in august and it's hard to plan a wedding and write at the same time. I applaud those who can do that. I am NOT giving up on this story and I WILL finish it. Eventually. Thanks for understanding.

After Edward left in New Moon, Bella changed. She changed everything about herself in hopes of forgetting him. She graduated and moved down to California. The one place she knew she would never see the Cullens. 4 years later, she is now known as Elle Swan, a successful interior designer. What happens when she is sent somewhere else for her job?

Favorite review so far:

Ahh... so good!! A perfect mix with fluff and reality, you're soo good at writing that I gets envious *envious sigh*.

Have I told you how good this story and idea really is. There are many different stories where Bella changes her personality drastically after Edward left. And of all those stories I have been reading I think you are the one that has captured Bella's personalty best. Many of the stories have changed Bella that much that if she wasn't namned Bella you shouldn't know it was her, but you, even if you see the big changes, you can find the Bella how she was shy, sweet and madly in love with Edward four years ago. With another words - I think you are the one that have captured Bellas character best.

Race car driver Edward Cullen has wrecked another car.  He's losing all his sponsors and funding.  His only hope is the incredibly sexy but stubborn Isabella Swan a brilliant engineer.  He can't get enough of her and she's keeping a secret that will change his life forever.

Edward Cullen is Big Man on Campus at his high school in Port Angeles. Bella Swan is a quiet, sarcastic, marches-to-the-beat-of-her-own-drummer girl at Forks High. A part-time job brings them together, and an unlikely friendship and surprising feelings develop. Neither is brave enough to do anything about it, however, and they part ways when Edward heads off to college. Their paths cross again after a year of no contact, and Edward is determined to not only rekindle their friendship, but to man up and actually do something about his ever-present feelings for Bella.

“I haven’t even kissed a boy." Bella looked intensely at my eyes, and then her gaze traveled to my mouth, her tongue wetting her pink lips. “Really?” I gasped. Her next question was my undoing. “Can I kiss you?” How could I deny such a request?

Bella is a 20 year old single mother. She left her boyfriend after he repeatedly abused her, to move in with her dad, Charlie and his girlfriend, Sue. With the help of her dad and the support of Alice and Rosalie, Bella gets back her feet by working at the local grocery store. Her life takes another spin when she drops a bottle of orange juice after seeing Edward Cullen for the first time. An amazing friendship, and possible romance starts. But will Edward stay, or duck and run when he notices her stomach starting to grow?

Edward Cullen is a vampire living alone, away from the rest of the Cullens, with nothing but his music to fill the emptiness of his lonely heart. Little does he know that his quiet seclusion will never be the same again when the shy, beautiful Bella Swan comes into his life. Quiet but inquisitive, Bella is more than curious about Edward and his strange habits. Little does she know that his secret could threaten her very life. Will Edward be able to control his appetite for her blood and satisfy his yearning for this enchanting young woman?

Found unconscious after four years of being held captive by two nomadic vampires, Bella is rescued by three members of the Cullen family. When she awakens, the family is apalled to find how deeply she's withdrawn into the roll of an abused pet. In time, she begins to trust and find comfort again but the Cullen's worry if she will ever regain her full humanity.

The Cullens decide that each of them need to spend some quality bonding time with Bella. Each chapter (besides the first) is a different outing, and every chapter is Bella's POV.

ON TEMPORARY HIATUS

Bella, an outgoing advertising executive, finds herself in a compromising position with a sexy man as the elevator in her office building breaks down. As she fears death, will this be the final chapter of her life, or will they save each other?
