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.

Will this sleepy town of Forks, Washington let him, especially when they find out why he was in prison?
