The summer of 2005 was the summer that changed Bella Swan's life forever. Sent to Ohio by her mother to attend a school for debutante girls not quite up to par, she meets Edward Masen, an apprentice. But is that really all he is? A story about psychological abuse, redemption, and healing. AH {{REWRITE/Formerly titled The Perfect Partner Program}}

Britain, 9th century:

Bella is captured by Vikings and brought with them to their homeland where her new fate awaits. Will she ever find happiness being a slave? Will it matter that she is given to Edvard, the chieftain of the village, to be his new bed thrall? 

Bella and Edward have been friends for as long as they could remember. They grew up together and now, live in the same apartment, ‘saving’ money on rent. Bella was just dumped by her boyfriend, Paul and Edward had been single for a long time. 

One night, Edward drunkenly tells Bella that he’s horny and lonely. They ended up having sex. 

Awkward morning after follows…

Out of everyone they’d been with, Edward and Bella admit that they are really compatible with each other, but a relationship between the two just can’t work. They are almost like family. So, they decide to become friends with benefits…

What happens when one realizes that they want more??

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"
