Edward Cullen is a hot shot associate in the D.A.'s office.  Bella Swan is at the top of her game as a defense attorney for the most prestigious law firm in Seattle.  In the courtroom they are arch rivals but outside the halls of justice they are wildly attracted to each other.  Will they give into their desires or will arrogance and stubborness keep them apart?

banners inspired by msrebarose- thanks so much!!

When his sex fantasy starts following him to class, Edward realizes that sleep deprivation and drug cocktails are not the best way to rid oneself of temptation. He does not remember the first time he saw Bella, only that she was probably on the arm of his lifelong rival, Jasper. He is haunted instead by the figments of her in his bed, on his floor, against the wall of his studio, atop his piano… He is convinced that if he wants to lose the ghost, he needs to seduce the real girl and begins a rather pathetic crusade to win the stranger’s heart.

Now, the closer Jasper comes to finding out, the closer the truth behind "the feud" threatens to reveal itself and tear their relationship to shreds.

Bella Swan is homeless in one of the worst winters Seattle has ever seen. When trouble arises, she is saved by a knight in shining armor.

In his endeavor to help her, will he simplify her life, or complicate it beyond anything she could have ever foreseen.

Pairings are all part of the mystery . . .

Bella is a recent nursing school graduate, working for Carlisle's practice. After several bad dates, she has given up on dating all together, until she meets Carlisle's son, Edward.

Edward is a divorced father of two that is satisfied with his life, not really looking for a relationship, until he meets Bella.

They have an instant connection when they meet, but will their relationship be strong enough to face numerous problems along the way? Jealous ex-wife, bratty daughter, etc... Will their love be strong enough to survive?

Very special thanks to heatherdawnc for making me an AWESOME banner!!
