Edward was dying...he was going to die soon. But just when he thought all was over, he meets Bella who was doing her community service from shoplifting. They change each other's lives, he makes her feel, he makes her think. She makes him believe and gives him a reason to fight for. But what if Edward had only around 12 months to live? Would they risk it all for one chance to love? Because you only live once. "Bella, your love is all Ill ever live for..."

This was the idea of a friend of mine, she gave me full authorization to make changes to the story. I promise a HEA for the characters. Enjoy!

 
Bella is a twenty two year old mother of three and a widow. Her husband Emmett gunned down in a shootout with the DEA during an undercover raid. She vows to take her children away from the life, to let them grow up normal but then she meets the new Underboss Edward Cullen who falls for her and her children but refuses to play second to Emmet's ghost. Can she let go of her past?

Welcome to the Academy! Bella Swan, former American Ballet Academy Prima Ballarina and Ballroom dancer, finds herself employed with her friend Alice Cullen at Alice's families dance academy. As a Seattle institution the Volterra Academy of Dance received national acclaim when the dance prodigy signed on, but is that the only purpose when the Cullens hired Ms. Swan or did they have hopes that she could teach more than just the students something? Edward hasn't placed competitively since his partner left him high and dry three years ago. That was when he came to teach ballroom at his family's school. He's convinced he's happy, spreading the love for dance through the younger generation, but that all changed when he spied a brown haired stranger. He saw the way she moved at the club and now he can't get her out of his head. He tells himself that it's best that he doesn't know who she is.

Bella at age thirteen is left with nothing more than a fake ID, and two year old twin half siblings to care for.  She makes due knowing it is up to her to give them a good life and education, she was never given.  Working as a cleaner at the university five years later, she meets Professor Masen a man who believes all women are out to hurt, or destroy him.  Can an uneducated Bella teach him something?  What will happen when Bella is another woman who has hid the truth from him? 

They come from two different backgrounds and lifestyles, one simple, one fabulous, yet both know what it means to suffer.

Can they face the future together and learn to let go of their demons?

Can they find what it is to be Amazed?

A baseball pitcher, a catcher, and a fact checker/aspiring writer.  If love is so hard for two people, can three possibly make it work?  Edward Cullen has two problems…First, he’s in a secret relationship with his catcher that’s very contentious at times.  Second, his high school girlfriend, his first everything, is back in town.  Will the three strike out or will it be the ultimate homerun?

This story is a poly/slash story.  If that’s not your cup of tea, then I’d urge you to find something else because it begins with a bang, literally.  Edward and Jasper play semi-pro baseball, so there will be some baseball-related action, but it’s not a full-on sports story.  There will be a bit of violence and talk of domestic violence, but I’ve tried to be sensitive and will post a warning in those chapters.  At its heart, it’s a love story.  It’s just not a conventional one.

E/J/B and the rest of the cast.  Alice gets someone, too.  Very OOC/Sex/Some violence (nothing sexual)/Rated NC-17 for sex/language/ adult situations.

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.

Isabella and Edward Cullen have been married a little over four years, and been together as a couple since they were seventeen.

When Bella stumbles across some devastating evidence of Edward's infidelity on the night she is to announce her pregnancy hearts are broken,will the couple be able to move on and repair?

Edward writes a message and puts it in a bottle. While on vacation with his family, he drops it in the ocean. Hoping to find his soulmate the way his grandfather did. Will it end in love or in nothing? Sometimes you just have to believe in fate.

Meet Edward Masen, one member of America's 'Greatest Generation'. "...just as fire tempers iron into fine steel so does adversity temper one's character into firmness, tolerance and determination…."

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?
