Isabella Swan, an up and coming graphic artist, lived in the heart of the Gold Coast in Chicago. She was comfortable in her brownstone, left to her by her grandmother.

Edward Cullen, a lieutenant in the Chicago Fire Department and the head of the rescue squad in Department Eighteen. He risks his life on a daily basis, putting out fires and saving strangers from burning buildings and mangled vehicles.

She was an innocent…someone caught in the cross hairs of their obsession with fire.

He was a hero…a man desperate to save the woman who was in danger from a serial arsonist. 

Little did they know, this monster was going to be the catalyst to start their fire, their fire of passion. 

They were Caught in the Flames

Homeless; Bella begs for a job at a local pub. However, getting that job may prove worse than the streets that she lived on.

There were so many secrets people carried in their minds.  For this reason I told them the mind often whispered and I didn't hear it unless I listened closely.  I lied.  Lying is part of who I am: A vampire pretending to be human, a mind reader pretending I don't know the things I know, an old lover pretending to be a novice.  When she asked if I'd ever been interested in the beautiful Rosalie--I lied.   

When Bella Swan signed away her life to a man nineteen years her senior, she never once imagined that she would win his heart. Never once did she think that she would be the only woman that could truly say she won the heart of the billionaire, Edward Anthony Masen Cullen. She gave him everything she had, regardless of his lies, his callousness and his vindictiveness. She loved him for he was but more importantly she loved him for who he wasn't. Regardless of his imperfections and coldness, she broke down every wall. She showed him that even he could be loved.

Successful and powerful in business, Edward keeps his personal relationships shallow.  He doesn't believe anyone can love him just for him.  Then he meets young Isabella sweet baker  who seems too good to be true. Bella is strong, kind and determined. Fiercely independent will she let Edward help her to achieve more than just having the best croissant recipe in town?  Will he risk being hurt and let her bake her way into his heart?  Wrapped in buttery goodness with bursts of spice this is a recipe for sweet loving, getting over the bitterness of the past and developing a taste for a sweet future.

In a world dominated by vampires, humans are forced to abide by the strict rules of the vampire government. Bella has never experienced life in an all-human world and one day the only life she knows shatters to pieces when she is kidnapped and sold to a vampire. She is unfortunately the object of the most ruthless, out of control, vampire‘s affection. Her life turns upside down as she moves to an all-vampire town. Will she have the strength to go on after all that she has endured her personal hell? Will the one special vampire heal her wounds as she struggles to live a life amongst vampires or will she become the victim of their most sinister instincts? Edward and Bella pairing, AU, OOC
