Two warring clans in the Scottish highlands.

Two Lairds weary of the fight.

Both men tired of loss, and tired of death.

A peace must be managed if both clans are to survive.

To make the peace a lasting one both men will offer their greatest treasures. William Black's only son, Jacob, has fought the Cullen's his entire life. He has lost kith and kin to the swords of his enemy, and now he has lost his laird. War with the Cullens had taken his father's legs, and has made William Black seek peace, by any needs necessary.

Jacob accompanies his father into the den of the enemy. He listens to these two giants bargain and barter themselves into an agreement. It gauls him to his very core to think that anything should be lost to the Cullens. Then he hears Cullens final offer.

Renesmee Cullen is the daughter of the laird. She has trained along side her brother and her father's men and is as good a swordsmen as any of them. She has longed to join the fight against their enemy for years. Now she is of age, but as a woman her fate rests in the hands of men.

When the two lairds agree to a marriage between their offspring they are resting the fate of two clans on the heads of two of the most stubborn people they have ever known.

Can Jacob tame the hellcat he is forced to wed? Can Nessie break the heart of the fierce wolf who holds her reins? Or is the heat they generate between them too bright and too hot to do anything but consume them?

A virus sweeps over the earth, killing man and man's best friend. For the few survivors, the nightmare is just beginning. Who set the virus free, and how far will the remains of the government go to find a cure? An innocent girl, a fiercely loyal dog, a jaded man with a past. Can they survive this new world and its secrets? E/B, AH

NOTE: Many of my readers have contacted me to let me know that someone tried to publish my story on Amazon and claim that they were Stephanie Meyer. I am utterly horrified by this. If anyone has any information about who tried to STEAL my story and make money off of a world that neither they, nor I, created, please let me know.

It has been 17 years since Isabella Swan’s death, and young Adora has moved to Forks, igniting gossip everywhere she turns. As Adora slowly unravels the clues that lead her down a path riddled with even more questions, she begins to realize that it seems to be more than coincidence, drawing her farther away from the life she knows, and into a world, she does not understand. The closer she gets to the truth, the more her own destiny becomes irrevocably entwined with the girl that haunts the small town. She wonders why everything that’s happening revolves around the mysterious Edward Cullen, and why he seems to hold the key to the answers she’s spent a lifetime searching for.

The main characters herein depicted, and the rules of the world that they are bound in, are not of my creation. They do not belong to me. They belong to Stephanie Meyer. She created a universe for us all, where we might lose ourselves in the untamable desires and dreams of our own hearts. I am very grateful for all she has given us, for she has breathed a new hope into lives, shrouded by the attempts our society has made, to repress our imaginations, and limit our struggle to reach far and beyond the boundaries of our own fragile existence. I will claim no credit for the inspiration of a lifetime, I will however say, that it was my own fatally flawed dissatisfaction with the closing fragments of the world she created, that spawned the words, of which I have carefully pieced together here, in my own refusal to accept the fact that Edward and Bella’s story was complete. After all, they are vampires, and vampires are immortal. Moreover, as long as they exist, so does their love. And if they cease to exist; does their love cease to exist too? Or is love eternal, undying…forever?

I present to you, my own vision of Stephanie Meyer’s world, where faith knows no bounds and love never dies.
