Now she sets off into a world she doesn't know, betrothed to a man who will never know her.

Follow the story of how an Angel from heaven gave this gift to the Clan Cullen in 1314 Scottish Highlands and how the gift is passed thru out the generations to present time. Will the Cullen Men find their One and Only?

Best friends since she was ten and he was twelve.  She had a hard home life, his family love and accepted her as their own.  She accepted him and his family for who they were, mafia royalty.  As they grow up, she becomes a dancer, and he gets groomed to take over for his father.  Follow Edward and Bella as they fall in love and take on the world together.  Violence and Lemony goodness.

The residents of Bennett Circle are being terrorized, and none of them have been able to catch the culprits.  When they take aim at Edward Masen, he makes it his mission to find them and bring them to justice.  What he finds and who he finds isn’t anything he ever expected.  Oh, and their mother…she’s not anyone he ever expected either.

AU/AH.  OOC.  Canon couples with a few surprises.  NC-17 (as usual).  There’s language and there’s a lot of fun…well, I hope you have fun.

SMeyer owns all Twilight characters.  No copyright infringement intended.  This story and the way in which I’ve fashioned the characters…yeah, that’s all me.

School teacher Bella sends a care package and letter to Army sergeant Edward, who is stationed in Afghanistan.

“Everyone has labels attached to them that they acquire over a lifetime…mother, daughter, wife, lover, friend, co-worker.  I happen to have all of those labels attached to me, plus one in particular that I’m not happy about…widow.  I have a daughter who never met her father, and parents who try to help me out but drive me crazy, along with a father-in-law who I take care of in the absence of his son.  Along with the label of “widow” came another label that I’m not happy about and it’s one I assigned to myself…crazy.  The reason I’m crazy is because every night in my dreams, I talk to my dead husband as if he was still alive.  I was perfectly content to live with those labels until someone showed up in my life that caused me to add another label to my seemingly never ending list…screwed. –Bella Black

AH/OOC.  Canon couples, eventually.  This is a story of a woman trying to deal with a devastating loss, so there will be sadness, but there will be humor and there will be love.  There’s foul language, eventual lemons, and it’s told in Bella’s POV.  It’s rated NC-17 for a reason.  It’s a love story at its heart, but it’s not an easy one.

After spending 7 years in prison, Edward gets a new start in the fishing village of Corea, Maine. Can a little girl and her mom, Bella, see beyond his past and can they all find love again...or will the ocean swallow them whole?

Bella needed to change it up. Moving to Savannah for a year after graduating from UGA seemed like a good plan. However, bills needed to be paid, and money was tight. Unfortunately, her playboy boss, Edward, doesn’t make her nights easy. After reconnecting with old friends, a pattern of miscommunication about engagements and one night stands, and a stalker dead set on keeping the pair apart, Bella and Edward find themselves thrown together in a whirlwind of events that will shape both of their lives in ways they never imagined. It's gonna get hot in the South!

Set in Savannah, Georgia. OOC, AU-AH. Canon couples. Lots of lemons...it's rated NC-17 for a reason.  Some violence, though not much.  The devil went down to Georgia...you wanna go? 

Edward Masen, Hollywood heartthrob, meets Bella Swan, shy college student, and the romantic sparks fly. Can they both overcome traumatic pasts and trust issues to be together?  All-Human

Thank you to Coleen561 for the beautiful banner!

Virgins & Villains came in first in 3 categories at the Summer 2011 Avant Garde Awards.  See banners below.

Bella transfers to the University of Washington her junior year. The incredibly beautiful guy with the coppery-bronze hair is such a jerk when their lives first collide, but they can't ignore the fact that they are drawn to each other. However...Bella has a boyfriend back home and Edward is adamantly unavailable; a horrible experience in his past has made him reluctant to form any attachments or new friendships. But sometimes, when you least expect it, you find something you didn't even know you were looking for; something that will change your life irrevocably and unconditionally.

Lots of humor, tons of romance and occasional angst, featuring a rather nosy and intrusive Emmett, Rose, Jasper and Alice. Add a potential stalker into the mix to stir things up. Top it all off with undeniable sexual tension and eventually some very hottt sexy-times.

A big round of applause for Z-21 and Twi-Holoic for the amazing banners! *clap, clap, clap, clap, clap*

Lonesome and second-guessing his career as a baseball player, Edward never imagined that it would only take one foul ball to turn his world upside down. That he might possibly find everything he had ever dreamt of, everything that had been missing in his life. Would he embrace it, or would he strike out, never knowing true love?

Special thanks to NoelleSeven for the awesome banner she made me.
