"I'd invite you to come in for a cup of coffee but I know you don't like coffee," she asked him as she stood in front of her door. "It doesn't really matter right now because I'll still want to come in," he replied with a mischievous grin.

It started as a simple offer of coffee. Now it's up to Edward to make a choice between what is right and what is easy.

I met Edward on a boat. A very large boat -- the morning ferry commute from Bremerton to Seattle.

Content with my life, I wasn't looking for anything...I was happy in my safe little rut. But that's the funny thing about Fate -- it often strikes when you least expect it. Mine came in the form of blazing toffee-colored eyes, a wicked smile, and a mane of unkempt golden and chestnut hair.

What I didn't realize at the time was that Edward is a paradox.

Edward is not the man of my dreams. It's sort of impossible when I can't have them anymore.

This isn't a love story. This is a seduction. A complete persuasion of mind, body, and soul. Of behavior and beliefs. And I wouldn't change it for the world...I think.

Life in Spoons Valley continues as a new generation deals with changes in their small western town.  Dr. Edward Cullen, returning after years of absence while attending medical school, believes that life back in his hometown will be boring after life in the city.  Little does he know that even though the way of things in the west are slow to change, some things remain exciting, wild, and untamed. 

This story is a continuation of my other story Lonesome Hearts.  Please read that story first.

Born to parents living a rich and glamorous lifestyle, Bella had never felt as if she belonged in their world where life often felt fake and pretentious. Wanting more out of life and wanting to make a worthwhile difference, Bella assumes a fake identity and heads off to spend her last summer before college doing something real and meaningful. Her journey starts with meeting a handsome stranger, raised to help those in need—and to detest the rich. What happens when he finds out her secret?

Edward was 19.  Bella was 13.  They were next door neighbors.  Charlie was the chief of police.  Carlisle was a doctor at the local hospital. 

Edward’s little sister Alice was also 13 and Bella’s best friend. 

While home from college for the summer, Edward spent time with his little sister and her best friend so their parents could all go out for dinner.

Over the next several years, Edward and Bella became good friends, until the summer she turned 16 when she transformed before his eyes.

AH, ExB, Mostly EPOV, sort of coming-of-age, hopefully a little poignant, with a splash of angst until Bella's at least seventeen.  Mature for language, eventual lemons and a very spunky Bella.
