"Hush, little baby don't say a word. Papa's gonna buy you a mockingbird, and if that mockingbird won't sing, Papa's gonna buy you a diamond ring." A lullaby and an antique chest. Just what is the history of Bella's new house? Rated M for horror scenes.

Edward thought he knew himself pretty damn well, until he met a mysterious stranger at a concert. One kiss was all it took for his world to turn upside down. Is this stranger here to stay, or are they only here For Your Entertainment? AU/AH

Power, greed, lust, & murder. The Irish mob clashes with the Italian mafia in the streets of Chicago. Can Edward and Bella survive FBI tails, jealous brothers, and a slew of people ready to knock them out of power?

Romeo and Juliet meets Goodfellas and The Godfather with a dash of Kill Bill.

Warnings: This is a mafia/mob story. There will be a lot of violence, sometimes very graphic violence. There will also be mentions of drug use and sexual assault.

Overwhelmed with grief, Edward is drifting when a new family moves in next door.  Bella hides her own heartache and guilt as she struggles to raise her son.  If they can see past their sorrow, they might find the missing pieces they need...in each other.

Rosalie is forced to go on an Alaskan cruise with her family for spring break. Not expecting much fun or anything at all to happen she runs into Emmett McCarty who just might be able to make a boring vacation fun and enjoyable.

A story about love, about death, about keeping secrets, and dealing with the consequences.  Bella and Edward meet at a hospital when she is diagnosed with a life threatening disease and he is recovering from knee surgery.  She confides her fears to him; he changes his life because of her.  This is a story about their journey through the confusion, awkwardness, pain, and beauty of first love.

Excerpt from Chapter 2:
“What are you most afraid of?”  Edward asks one last question.

“I'm not afraid of dying,” I answer truthfully.

“You're not afraid of dying?” he repeats, incredulous.

“No.  There's so much more.  I'm afraid of losing my hair but that's not my biggest fear.  I'm afraid of leaving my mom and dad all alone.  I'm afraid that if I survive, I'll never have children of my own.”  I yawn again.  Edward is quiet and I think for a moment that he's fallen asleep.  “Edward,” I whisper, in case he is asleep, “What are you most afraid of?”

“I'm afraid I'm falling for you,” he whispers back so softly that I'm unsure if I've heard him correctly. 

Prequel to 'Loner'. Edward found his Bella and they got their happily ever after. But what happened before they met? How did the Cullens cope over the years with a new, broken family member? This story takes us back to the beginning.

ON HIATUS. [sorry guys :-(]

Bella (22) longs for love and acceptance, yet her fear of rejection keeps her guarded and single. Her craving to feel needed is fulfilled by working as a live-in nanny to Rosalie, who's a single mom to four-year old Henry.

For months, Bella has been secretly infatuated with Rosalie's ex-husband, Edward (29), but he barely acknowledges Bella during their brief encounters. That is, until one night when she bumps into him at a club.

However, he doesn't recognize her at all.

Afraid for her job, she tells him her name is Marie. He acceptes her pseudonym, and feeling safe with anonymity, Bella reveals her wild side. 

She makes the most of the night, but what happens when he tries to find the mysterous Marie?

When Mr. Cullen gets to know Bella, will he still want Marie?

How will that one incredible night shake their worlds?

The FBI's #1 special agent, Edward Cullen, hears the thoughts of those around him. The one exception is new recruit, Isabella Swan.

Can they control their feelings, and work as a team, in order to bring down the dark and dirty world hiding in Forks? Or will virtue give way to vice?

A taste of "Bond"ward from the Prologue:

He pulled his long, wool trench coat tighter around his body. It was so damned windy today and it cut through his clothes. It was hard to believe that only last week he was sunning himself on the beach in Miami.

He smiled, remembering how much he enjoyed the afternoon and midnight delights while there.

Damn, why couldn't all my assignments be in warm, tropical places where the women wore next to nothing?

He needed to find some sweet thing to warm him up. So he headed to the Farm, the FBI Training Center, hoping to find what he was craving.

Heartbroken when Tanya told him she cheated on him with his best friend after he proposed to her, Edward vowed to give up on love and women. Bella Swan, they shy freshman at the Univ of Wash, catches his eye.  He fights to stay away, but can he? Love can heal many wounds if you give it a chance.  Travel with Edward to see if he gives into temptation while dealing with his tainted past.

Rated NC-17 for language, dark themes, adult content and future lemons! Enjoy
