Beautiful, terminally ill, Yolanda is abandoned by her partner to die in the woods near Forks, but is stumbled upon by Rosalie and Emmett while out hunting.  The kind-hearted Cullen family take this former journalist under their protection & care; see how she learns what they are and that there really are vampires in this world.  Her story plays out in a way she could never have imagined. 

What would you do if you discovered vampires truly existed?  What if you were offered immortality? What if a chance encounter brought you the love you had always dreamed of?

All your Cullen family favourites are very much involved in this story.  An Irish vampire comes calling to add a new twist to Cullen life. 

This is in essence a love story, mostly told from Yolanda's POV as a newcomer to the world of vampires.  Sometimes the story is told from the perspective of one of the others as they watch her adapt to her surroundings. 

Plenty of erotic moments contained in the story for the gorgeous Yolanda you see pictured in the banner.

Story rated for explicit lemony scenes and language and dark issues.
It has been migrated across from the FanFiction site and is now complete.

“Is she even alive, Emmett? I can’t hear a heartbeat from here.”  Rosalie stood there, hands on hips, glaring at me as if it was my fault we had stumbled upon a body in the woods. She clicked her tongue impatiently.

We’d been out for a couple of hours hunting and making out gloriously and lustily in the bracken. When the day had started, bright and early, I’d never imagined it would take this turn of events. Vampires don’t like surprises.

After the Cullens leave Forks, a twist of fate lands Bella in Chicago in 1918. She thinks it's her second chance... a chance to build a life with a human Edward. But when she finds him, he's not quite what she expected... and Bella has some hurdles to overcome to create the future she's hoping for.

What if Edward did not take the dramatic route and wait till noon to step into the sun in Volterra?  What if Alice and Bella were incapable of getting to him in time?  What if he was not the only casualty of bad timing and misread visions?

This story takes us down an alternate path than what we followed in New Moon.  The Cullen’s are no longer whole and Bella is so badly damaged that she may be unreachable as she closes herself off to the pain of the outside world.

Can a new love save her?  Can his voice pull her from the darkness?

This story is rated NC-17 for major angst, suicide and the possibility of far off lemons (who am I kidding?  If you have read any of my stories, you know there will be lemons…but not for a while).
