Isabella del Cigno (21) is the daughter of the infamous mob boss, Charlie del Cigno (Cigno means swan in Italian). He's ruthless, cunning and deadly. The FBI wants to put an end to him but can't ever find enough evidence linking to him back to various crimes. Isabella is just as cunning and deadly but she lives the life of the mafia elite - fast cars, endless money and anything her heart desires, except freedom from the tyranny of her father. Charlie doesn't want his only child to be killed by his arch enemies, the Volturi, so Isabella is closely guarded.

Edward Cullen (26) is a special agent in the FBI. He's chosen to infiltrate the del Cigno Syndicate of the mob. He works his way through the ranks and is eventually hired as Bella's bodyguard. Initially, he can't stand Bella - he thinks she's a whiny, self-centered, enabled b*tch. Then, she gets shot at and Edward knows he was chosen for this mission for a specific reason. Yes, he wants to bring down the del Cigno Syndicate but he must save Isabella, who has a secret of her own...

How can Edward fulfill his obligation for the FBI but still keep the girl?

Third story in FBI saga: Bella is lured back into the FBI when one of the team is hurt. Will she be able to find the perp before they strike again? Cannon coupling, language, and lemons. AU&NC-17

Bella Swan has just one mission; to save her childhood best friend from the clutches of Hollywood. She's got her work cut out for her, but she'll do it, even if she has to do things that she really doesn't want to. Written purely for laughs.

Just months away from inheriting a fortune and the family business, 17 year old orphan, Bella,  is out of control – a wild child with a platinum card and a killer bod.  Can Edward, as her legal guardian and CEO of Swan Publishing, rein her in and prevent her from ruining everything he’s worked for?  AH.  Rated M for a reason.

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!!

'The story of us', was 'Bon Secours'. And 'Instructions Not Included', was 'Bon Secours the sequel'. Sorry to throw you off, but a name change was a must. 

Sequel to 'The Story of Us', if you didn't read that, please do so before you read this. The title says it all, since children do not come with an instruction manual. This picks up right where the original leaves off, 'The Story of us' epilogue. If you liked that, you will LOVE this. How will Edward and Bella deal with a house full of teenagers? There's flashbacks, more drama, more lemons, much more humor, and a whole lot of story. 

Doctorward is there too, just like the first story. 

It's incredibly long because we have the (A) story, which is Edward and Bella. Then we have the (B) story, which is EJ and CC, their two oldest children. 

Points of view will fluctuate. Chapters will be split, since there's essentially two stories in one. 

Rated NC-17 just in case for Lemons and Language galore

Edward, Bella, the whole gang, their kids, plus a few original characters.

AH/AU, OOC Bella is a famous actress and Edward is a host of a late night talk show. What do they whisper to each other when they greet each other on stage?

"The worst lies are the lies we tell ourselves. We live in denial of what we do, even what we think. We do this because we're afraid."
The lie he told to protect her has had nine years to destroy her, and it's time to pick up the pieces.

How long can you lust after your best friend's brother before you give up hope? How do you reconcile an attraction for someone you've thought of as a little sister? How long can two people dance around their feelings before they dance together? E/B AH Banner by JaimeArikin.
