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.

A change in the past makes an early intervention necessary for the Cullens. This story is complete and I will upload one or two chapters each week.

Isabella Black lost her husband in the cruelest way possible. He wasted

away and was ravaged by the evil, silent killer, cancer. Five months after his initial diagnosis, he died, leaving Bella with their two young children, John, seven and Grace, five. A year after his death, Bella packs up her home in Phoenix and drives back to Forks, Washington to be closer to her family. Will she finally find a way to pick up the pieces with the help of her family, friends and a green-eyed cop?

Be gentle, be sweet, speak of womanly things, but above all else give your king everything he desires, Lady Isabella Swan of Devonshire does none of these things..."

"It was the reign of life, it was the reign of death, of love, of hate, of gold, of dust, it was the era of kings, it was the era of the common man, of truth, of deception, of war, of peace. It was the Reign of Edward and Isabella. #Kingward #Royalward"

Detective Cullen has been married to his job for a very long time, and he doesn’t ever plan to change.  Bella Swan the overweight girl who gets used and tossed aside is his favorite waitress.  Can they make more out of this than friendship with benefits, or will she send him away when she decides she wants more?

(The use of the word steaks vs. stakes is a play on words - just FYI)

Summary: Edward’s grandfather’s business has been closed because of his investment partner died and his daughter, who he calls the viper, wants more than just money to reopen. The viper makes life hard for the Cullens when Edward refuses her ‘offer.’ When an angry Edward meets another poor little rich girl that needs some tutoring, will she be the one to teach him a thing or two?

Edward Masen is the most popular escort working for Esme Platt. He’s the best at what he does and no woman ever goes unsatisfied. He’s smooth, sexy, dangerous and in control. In many ways. His employer holds him to this job due to the debt he needs to repay her. He’s a slave to the job in more ways than one. He lives in the best apartments, dresses in the nicest clothes and drives the best cars. All of it, though, can disappear in a moment’s notice all because Esme knows Edward’s secret. 

Isabella Swan is an heiress to the Swan fortune. Her father, Charlie Swan, owns a string of high end hotels and resorts all over the world. Bella, as her friends call her, is also going through a nasty divorce from her husband, Riley. He cheated on Bella with the limo driver, the gardener, the pool boy and Bella’s assistant, Maggie. She’s bitter and angry, hating all men and abhorring her soon-to-be ex-husband. 

Charlie is having a grand opening for his newest hotel in Seattle, Swan Towers. Bella is expected there, with a date for the lavish party. Rose, Bella’s best friend, suggested that she use a male escort, handing her Esme Platt’s card. Bella calls and asks for the best. Edward arrives, all suave and debonair, but detached and cold. However, the attraction between the two is palpable. 

Will they succumb to their attraction? Will Edward pull Bella down the dark path in his need for control? Or will Bella be his light? Or is all of this a ploy for Buying Love?
