To see the world; the damage, the truth, the pain, the beauty, you have to open your eyes. To be able to help others and be a better person, you have to open your eyes.

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

A perfect cafe au lait was all it took for Hollywood's most eligible bachelor to fall in love with me...the coffee girl.

Boy meets Girl and sweeps her right off her feet – which just happen to be slightly slutty when it comes to a certain tall, dark (and slightly gingered) piece of walking sex, who decides to pursue her without mercy. A fluffy novelette about a girl who does something questionably stupid, yet lucks out incredibly by finding her Mr. Right. All human. Utter nonsense.

*Sequel to Come Closer* Accepting your place in life–and letting go of all that kept you in the wrong–is a powerful thing. Edward Masen knows this. Knows it with his heart, his soul, his being. Forbidden doesn't exist anymore. 'Can't have' are no longer words in his mind's vocabulary. And were never in his claim's. Isabella is getting everything she's ever wanted. To be his.

A pediatric oncology department is the last place you expect to find: the child you want to adopt, a childhood television star borne famous singer turned love of your life, a selfless guy and his polar opposite or see someone you become attached to die.  This is a road that Dr. Edward Cullen finds himself on, how will it all unfold?

It was just a long weekend in Vegas, so how did eighteen year old high school senior Bella Swan end up married to thirty one year old movie exec, Edward Cullen? This is the story of their awkward life. 

No matter how big and bad you think you are, if a child hands you a toy phone, you pick it up. No matter how damaged you think you are, when someone pure and beautiful offers you their love, you love them back. And no matter how tough, when your mom asks you for a kiss, you give it. And you make it a good one.

Emmett, Jasper and Edward have been in the Army for the last 9 years together. Bella is Em's little sister. One package to Em changes everything. AH. HEA

It's not a hobby, it's a way of life. Life in the Rodeo is a circus and sometimes it's a bit like a soap opera. Jasper knows his friend, Edward, needs to be distracted after the death of his father, riding the rodeo will be just the thing he needs. When Alice's long lost best-friend returns from the north with problems of her own, will the two of them be just what the other needs.

When seventeen-year-old Bella is kidnapped while out with Alice Cullen—she taken as a prize to be awarded the winner of an underground fighting tournament.  Will Alice’s adopted brother be the unlikely hero to save the day?  All Human/Rated M

He's a cop. She's a student. A missed connection during a traumatic time leaves them both longing, until fate brings them back together again. Romance, humor, slight drama. Canon couples. OOC. AU. This is my version of Copward, and this is a working summary.

Bella Swan is a nationally ranked paired skater with Jacob Black. Edward Masen is beautiful British skater paired with Tanya. However, both of their partners fall into hard times. These two try to navigate their way through life, both on and off the ice.

Prince Edward of Forks and Princess Isabella of Voltura are forced to marry as the terms of a treaty signed by their fathers to end a war between the two neighboring countries.  Edward is a spoiled, arrogant womanizer who is determined to have a marriage of convenience.  Bella is a feisty young woman from a country where the women fight beside their men making her a warrior princess.  Can Bella tame the wild Edward and make him into the man he should be or will the whole world lose out.

A fortunate encounter while wandering the city may lead Edward to realize that, perhaps, not everything is lost. But is he ready? AH, ExB.

A struggling single mom, a fatherless boy with big dreams, and a man on his way to fame and fortune.  All of them could use a hero.....

Bella Swan works for Edward Cullen, one of the most powerful men in the business industry. She left Forks years ago, acquired her MBA and set out for New York with a head full of dreams only to discover the only job she could get was working for an asshole as his personal assistant and being available for his every beck and call. Bella hates Edward but her feelings soon start to change as they go on a run of the mill business trip to Los Angeles. AH. AU. M for Lemony lemons.

There is only one person on this earth that Edward Cullen hates, and that's his boss...Bella Swan. She's cold. She's ruthless and incapable of human emotion, and to Edward's greatest frustration, the hottest woman walking the face of the planet. Will a proposition made change the course of their lives forever? Will they break the rules, or will all terms and conditions apply?

Lemon? Yes please!

Bella needed to change it up. Moving to Savannah for a year after graduating from UGA seemed like a good plan. However, bills needed to be paid, and money was tight. Unfortunately, her playboy boss, Edward, doesn’t make her nights easy. After reconnecting with old friends, a pattern of miscommunication about engagements and one night stands, and a stalker dead set on keeping the pair apart, Bella and Edward find themselves thrown together in a whirlwind of events that will shape both of their lives in ways they never imagined. It's gonna get hot in the South!

Set in Savannah, Georgia. OOC, AU-AH. Canon couples. Lots of lemons...it's rated NC-17 for a reason.  Some violence, though not much.  The devil went down to Georgia...you wanna go?

After getting lost in the woods on a camping trip, Bella finds a man who is living a different life. Can two such different worlds mesh when communication is nearly impossible? 

(There are no werewolves or vampires in this fic)

I wasn't like the women in those movies.  You know, the ones you catch on the Lifetime network when you're channel surfing over a pint of ice cream at two in the morning?  Everything was perfect.  My grades were good, my college was paid for, and the future of my dreams was set.  Until it wasn't.
