Bella Swan was dreading going back to her ten year high school reunion, over Valentine’s Day Weekend, for Hillsborough High School. Her time in high school in Tampa, Florida was not high on her list of pleasant experiences. She was quiet, unassuming and secretly in love with Edward Cullen. It was that unrequited love that forced her to move away to Seattle, as far from Tampa as possible. He never knew she existed. Or so she thought.

Edward was looking forward to his high school reunion because he was anxious to see the one that got away. Bella Swan was the quiet girl who never really interacted with anyone, but Edward saw that she was something special. But as ruler of the school, he had certain expectations to maintain. It was one of his biggest regrets. His life would have been easier if he had followed his heart. Now, he was a divorced father of two. His ex-wife, Tanya, who was his high school girlfriend, left him for a younger man and abandoned her children.

Will Bella be happy to see Edward or will she stay hidden amongst her classmates? Will Edward finally break the mold that was expected of him and open up his heart to the beautiful and shy Bella Swan? Will he be able to win back the one that got away?

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?

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

Bella Swan works as a nurse at Cook County Hospital in the ER. She's older and desperate for love. It's hindered by her shy personality and plump body. Her father, whom she lives with, teases her relentlessly for being fat and single.

Edward Cullen, thirty-three, is hired as a doctor in the ER. He's getting over a divorce. He moved to Chicago to be closer to his family: sister, Rosalie, and brother, Jasper. Rosalie is younger than Edward by ten years and is struggling with an eating disorder brought on by a heinous rape of her ex-boyfriend. Jasper, twenty-seven, is finishing up his doctorate in history.

Bella is charmed by this new doctor in the ER. He's kind and thinks about his patients and maintains a friendly rapport with the nurses and orderlies. Edward is intrigued by the sad nurse who does her job efficiently but doesn't have a sparkle in her eyes.

Will she allow Dr. Cullen into her life or will she let her insecurities get in the way of her happiness. Perhaps, Dr. Feelgood can write her a prescription. A prescription for love...

Life in a maternity unit is full of ups and downs!  

Bella Swan, an experienced midwife at Forks Hospital meets the new obstetrician, Edward Cullen and the attraction is instant.

As their hands touched, she gasped softly as she felt the shock of electricity that seemed to pass through their skin.  Dropping his hand abruptly, her brown eyes wide in surprise, Bella stepped back.  Without volition, Bella felt her face flame with another cursed blush.  Damn, she was 26 years old.  When was she going to stop blushing like a schoolgirl?
