A Dominant & A Gentleman

Growing up with a father in the military was hard on Bella. She made a promise to herself that she would never date or fall for a Marine like her father. That is until she runs into a pair of identical twins that have her reconsidering her rule.

Anthony is shy, extremely polite, and a true gentleman.

Edward appears to be in control and exudes confidence, and has a very dark side.

Will she take the risk or walk away?

One summer, an internship in Africa, bloodlust, sharp teeth, and a boatload of fear are all that stand in the way of Bella Cullen landing a job at the Atlanta Aquarium - As long as she doesn't count cocky shark expert Edward Masen on her list.

Bella and Jasper are twins who just moved from England to Beverly Hills and are new to Mason high school. The second that Bella and football Quarterback Edward Cullen meet, it is love at first sight for both of them. They decided there and then that they would be together no matter what. There is only one person who stands in their way. Edward’s girlfriend Tanya. Lemons and language AH

At the beginning, I didn’t know what was happening; I thought that it has to be a bad joke. Now, the only thing I know is that I have to be quiet. There are too many of them out in the alley. If they heard me, it could be my end. My mind started to wander to my friends. Poor Felix… I can’t even think about him without feeling sick. Those things ate him alive in front of me! I only could hope that this nightmare won’t reach my home town.

Be gentle, be sweet, speak of womanly things, but above all else give your king everything he desires, Lady Isabella Swan of Devonshire does none of these things..."

"It was the reign of life, it was the reign of death, of love, of hate, of gold, of dust, it was the era of kings, it was the era of the common man, of truth, of deception, of war, of peace. It was the Reign of Edward and Isabella. #Kingward #Royalward"

Army Sergeant Edward Colonna returns home after six years overseas, only to find the love of his life in one, Isabella Swan.  Can their love survive the test of time when he is sent away again?

(Set during the Korean War era; late 1940's to early 1950's). Originally written for the Christmas Wishes Compilation..This is an expanded version.

Thanks so much to Cared Cullen for the beautiful banner.

Bella, whose beauty is legendary and who sings like an angel, is successful in films, but in her innocence she has fallen into the clutches of the nefarious and abusive James Hunter. When Hunter is killed, Bella is charged with his murder; in desperation, she turns to Edward. She is found innocent, but her career is in ruins, and she returns to her childhood home pregnant and alone as she has no desire to drag Edward down with her.

New attitude. New job. New friend with benefits. What started out as casual takes on a whole new meaning when things twist and turn and sink into the abyss of reality. One big mistake changes everything.

Edward Cullen is gifted Isabella Swan as a reward for a job well done.  The more time he spends with her, the more he becomes enamored of her.  Will he be able to make amends for his behavior and win the girl’s heart?
