Edroar the Angry Lion frightens all the girls and boys at Cullen Publishing with his loud roar. Will his new massage therapist Bella Swan run away like all the rest, or can she tame this savage beast?  AH/AU   OOC

The Cullen crime family has been a problem for the law officers of Chicago for over fifty years. After dozens of failed attempts to infiltrate the family, the FBI decides it's time to send in more undercover agents, Edwards and Whitlock. However, the Feds do not realize that Edwards has an agenda all of her own, which doesn't necessarily include putting a stop to the family's business.

“Swan! I wanted that file ten minutes ago, on my desk, it’s outside my door, are you blind?!” “No Cullen, I cannot see your office, because yes, I AM blind and I don’t want to walk in and listen to you with Tanya Denali!”

In August of 1931, almost two years after the disastrous stock market crash on Wall Street, Bella's wealthy family suddenly find themselves broke and homeless in New York City. She is sent to live on her birth father's struggling farm in Oklahoma and soon the pampered, well-to-do city girl is forced to face life as a poor country bumpkin. The transition will not be easy for the overindulged sixteen year old. To make matters worse, choking dust storms, a dangerous drought and the hiring of a handsome but hardheaded homeless man will complicate Bella's life even further.

New teacher and aspiring writer, Bella Swan, moves to Seattle. She finds fan-fiction-creation-inspiration in the enigmatic and surly playboy who lives in the upscale condo across from hers. As her newest on-line story develops, so does a correspondence with a mysterious reader/reviewer of that story. Is it a co-worker? Is it the hothead playboy? It's a case of art imitating life and life imitating art. A fan-fic story within a fan-fic story with all the canon usuals. Lemons, laughs and love.

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. He doesn't want another woman in his life to complicate things. It would be best just to forget her, so why can't he. What will happen when he finds out that the girl he can't forget is the new ballet instructor at the Academy? More importantly can they ignore the chemistry that they have from the beginning? Will Bella shake Edward out of his shell and will he find the strength to get out and dance again? Can she teach him to leave it all on the floor? Find out

A year ago, Isabella Swan was new at school and instantly gained acceptance. Unfortunately, a certain bronze haired new kid isn't so lucky. Hidden friendships slowly build and blossom into more. Will it be social suicide? Rated M for language, will eventually go up.

Bella thought her life was going to be different by the time she was close to thirty.  She thought she'd be living the American dream with a husband the two kids and a dog.  Instead at twenty eight she breaks up with her long term boyfriend and is the only single person among her friends and family.  With a reconnection of an old crush thanks to Facebook and an unexpected meeting with a new man, Bella does the only thing she can, follow her heart.

I have a banner!!  I want to give a shout out to Mehek18 for creating it.  I think it's pretty nice.  You should really check out her site at http://mehek18.tumblr.com and take a look around. She is amazing and I want to thank her for taking the time to create my banner!  Thank you!!

What happens when two very busy people send two clueless people to pick up their babies from daycare? Bella Swan and Edward Cullen are in for a rough day but it may just have some nice repercussions. R&R please.

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 transfers to the University of Washington her junior year. The incredibly beautiful guy with the coppery-bronze hair is such a jerk when their lives first collide, but they can't ignore the fact that they are drawn to each other. However...Bella has a boyfriend back home and Edward is adamantly unavailable; a horrible experience in his past has made him reluctant to form any attachments or new friendships. But sometimes, when you least expect it, you find something you didn't even know you were looking for; something that will change your life irrevocably and unconditionally.

Lots of humor, tons of romance and occasional angst, featuring a rather nosy and intrusive Emmett, Rose, Jasper and Alice. Add a potential stalker into the mix to stir things up. Top it all off with undeniable sexual tension and eventually some very hottt sexy-times.

A big round of applause for Z-21 and Twi-Holoic for the amazing banners! *clap, clap, clap, clap, clap*

Edward Cullen is a hematologist by day and a serial killer by night. Because of mysterious circumstances surrounding the death of his mother, Edward is raised by Carlisle Cullen, legendary former F.B.I. agent. Sensing his dark tendencies at an early age, Carlisle molds Edward into a weapon for justice. Edward believes he is unfeeling and emotionless, so he hides behind the facade of a happy-go-lucky family man. Bella, a recovering alcoholic with a dark past, wants to know the real Edward. Can she ever face the monster within in him without being devoured herself? Will a new serial killer in town give Edward the most exciting game of his life?

All pairings are canon. Story genre is Horror/Romance/Mystery  Warning This story is going to be very violent, and in a later chapter will have a non-sensational depiction of rape. NC-17 for a reason, but will have a HEA.
