Bella Swan was dreading going back to her ten year high school reunion, over Valentine’s Day Weekend, for Hillsborough High School. Her time in high school in Tampa, Florida was not high on her list of pleasant experiences. She was quiet, unassuming and secretly in love with Edward Cullen.

His ex-wife, Tanya, who was his high school girlfriend, left him for a younger man and abandoned her children.

Will Bella be happy to see Edward or will she stay hidden amongst her classmates? Will Edward finally break the mold that was expected of him and open up his heart to the beautiful and shy Bella Swan? Will he be able to win back the one that got away?

Her outward beauty entices him, her innocent optimism intrigues him, her loving heart ensnares him. A lighthearted, fluffy tale about how a twenty-something's sanguine leash on life brings joy and happiness to even the gruffest member of the Playboy Club. A/H

Dr. Edward Masen is in for a surprise when his best friend and fellow colleague Dr. Carlisle Cullen invites him out to spend an evening with him at an exclusive member's only club. What Edward does not know, is that the club caters to a select few who share in a unique fetish within a certain lifestyle choice. He meets a brave little girl named Bella Swan who is more than happy to pull him into her world and introduce him to the wonderful lifestyle of Bondage, Discipline, Sadism, and Masochism.

It is a story about two consenting adults who venture into the relationship of a Dominant Daddy/little girl.  

If you do not fully understand the dynamics of this type of lifestyle I can only inform you that this story has nothing to do with incest, nor are the characters role playing / age playing in any way. It is a relationship where they practice total power exchange in and out of the bedroom on a 24/7 basis.  

If any of what you have read so far freaks you out in any way, then I must warn you now...this story may not be for you.

He's watched her for months; she doesn't know he exists. A train delay offers him the opportunity to make his dream a reality.

Bella Swan works as a nurse at Cook County Hospital in the ER. She's older and desperate for love. It's hindered by her shy personality and plump body. Her father, whom she lives with, teases her relentlessly for being fat and single.

Edward Cullen, thirty-three, is hired as a doctor in the ER. He's getting over a divorce. He moved to Chicago to be closer to his family: sister, Rosalie, and brother, Jasper. Rosalie is younger than Edward by ten years and is struggling with an eating disorder brought on by a heinous rape of her ex-boyfriend. Jasper, twenty-seven, is finishing up his doctorate in history.

Bella is charmed by this new doctor in the ER. He's kind and thinks about his patients and maintains a friendly rapport with the nurses and orderlies. Edward is intrigued by the sad nurse who does her job efficiently but doesn't have a sparkle in her eyes.

Will she allow Dr. Cullen into her life or will she let her insecurities get in the way of her happiness. Perhaps, Dr. Feelgood can write her a prescription. A prescription for love...
