Isabella Swan moved away from the world she’s known, trying to move on from the loss of her parents and raising her baby sister, Katie. She’s always seen the best in the world, but she’s struggling in coping with all of the changes in her life. A new start was needed and she packed up, moving from the small town of Forks to Chicago to work as an advertising junior executive at Masen Advertising Corporation.

Edward Cullen, CEO of Masen Advertising Corporation, is a cold-hearted, uncaring, hateful asshole. An orphan and living in foster care until he turned fifteen, he was adopted by Carlisle and Esme Cullen. Edward struggled with forming relationships. All he wanted was a partner, a friend, a lover, a wife, a mother to his children. He lost his wife, Tanya, when she was found screwing his partner, Jacob Black, on his desk. She also shattered his heart, ending several pregnancies, even though Edward had pleaded to start a family.

What happens when Edward bumps into Bella in the hallways of Masen Advertising Corporation? Will she be the chink in his armor, shattering his carefully constructed walls? Or will he bring her into the darkness, shattering her optimistic view of the world? It’s uncertain, but she’s Falling for a Dark Soul.

In Volterra, the Crown Prince chooses his future queen from the Collection. 35 young women from every province of the country, open to members of all castes, given the opportunity to be the newest chapter in the country's fairy tale. But Isabella Swan didn't want to be part of the Collection, all she wanted was to love a boy and have him love her in return. And Edward Masen was not that boy.

The Collection: A Twilight/The Selection Crossover

For those of you who have read The Selection Series, you will recognize the world of this story and some of the character types, but most of the plot will blend elements of the two series with original ideas, so it won't simply be The Selection plot with Edward and Bella. There will be things that will completely take you by surprise, I hope, and keep you entertained. This idea overtook me while reading the last book, which is the first time a series has done this since Twilight, so I wanted to play with it. Also, it felt right to post this the day before my 9th anniversary in fanfic. Thank you to all my readers, new and old, and my team, past and present, for sticking with me on this journey. 

Britain, 9th century:

ON HIATUS

Successful Lawyer Edward Cullen and college student Isabella Swan both have very dark and extreme appetites for pleasure. The two meet one afternoon and the attraction is instantaneous. Certain that the other will never accept their personal lifestyle choices, they fight the almost irresistible draw to one another not realizing that they both have more in common than they realize. NC-17 for a very good reason. Multiple partnering, non-canon kind of.
