A Single Step By: tufano79
Isabella Biers had it all. A loving husband, two children and a career of her dreams. One night changed everything. She had a spinal stroke, paralyzing her from the waist down and with that, she lost her husband and mobility. With the help of a kind, but sexy physical therapist, will she be able to regain all she lost? It all begins with A Single Step.
~Brand new! I helped a little on her research for this story, so I’m extra invested. Great start!

When Bella Met Edward By: assilem33
"When I saw you I fell in love, and you smiled because you knew."
~Assilem has a gift for writing hilarious lol stories and this is no exception. Bella is one hot mess and the random thoughts she jumps to as she tries to rationalize and figure things out will leave you chucking just as much as she does Edward...who is super swoony.

The Funcle By: MrsSpaceCowboy
Bella Swan eats, sleeps, and breathes Crosstown Concourse. It's home, work, and the love of her life. She has nothing in common at all with Edward Cullen, who has a job or 2 or 3 of his own, except Maggie, the niece they share, who's dubbed him the funcle because he's like a dad but cooler. It isn't a meet-cute when you've known each other forever.
~Woo-hoo! New story by MSC!

Immigrant Song By: Lissa Bryan O/S
Bella made a promise to her dying grandmother that she would see the monument to General Washington completed, but doing so means taking on a powerful anti-immigrant group. She needs allies, and perhaps she's found one in a handsome junior congressman with a wicked sparkle in his eyes..
~Fantastic story!

Paperclip Promise By: DeJean Smith
Ten years ago, sixteen-year-old Bella Swan and seventeen-year-old Edward Cullen met at a summer camp for academically gifted high school students at Northwestern University. After a meet and greet where they discovered a mutual love of quirky collections—he, bowties, and she, paperclips—a friendship blossomed. A Babies at the Border offering.
~Sweet O/S she may continue and I hope she does!

Scars To Your Beautiful By: BitterLady (collab with BitterHarpy and ladylibra)
We all live with scars: some we choose; some were chosen for us. We can let our scars define us or we can let them make us stronger. And at Olympic Med, a place where their job is to save lives, two broken people come to find their salvation in each other, scars and all.
~Whaaaat? Look at this! Edward is an a Grade A assh*le attending neurosurgeon who seems to be lashing out at everyone for an unknown reason. Bella is a very smart intern doctor with hints towards a challenging upbringing that has shaken her confidence. Now she has to work with him. What could happen? Updates on Wednesdays.

A Quiet Storm by SexyLexiCullen (on Stars Library)
"Two weeks. Two years. Who cares?" A lesson in love, crime, and passion. When two young lovers find themselves in the middle of the storm, can love conquer all?
~The first part of the Storm series, this is a Mafia tale of epic proportions. Love, loyalty, betrayal and family are passions that drive one of the most extraordinary, well-written, action-packed series I have read! Next is Weather the Storm, Riders on the Storm, and After the Storm. Check out how the Skip and his Bebella make it through.

Osa Bella By: Myg
Bella is a school counselor, but Edward is a vampire posing as a student. Will Bella defy her head and follow her heart? Or will she conquer her desire and do what she believes is right?
~This is one I absolutely could not put down. It builds and builds and then is non-stop action-packed with twists and turns you never expect! Five years ago Bella had been working on her PhD in psychology when she received word that her husband Derek had been killed in the war. For a long time she just felt like her world had imploded and she just collapsed in on herself unable to function. Unable to stay in the home they shared together, she moved back to Forks, WA., and took a job as the high school counselor. As she was already 30, she didn't want to spend her life alone and was resolved to find someone to share her life with, and boy oh boy, did she ever!

The Wedding Party By: spanglemaker9
The perfect person appears at the worst possible moment, and one unforgettable encounter changes everything.
~Bella was reeling from the demise of a long term relationship, but at least she had a long weekend coming up when she was going to Chicago for Alice's wedding. ~Edward took a break from the sometimes 36 hr. shifts in his residency in NYC to go to Jasper’s wedding. He was at the Chicago O'Hare airport, where he was waiting to pick up his luggage, when his eyes caught sight of a petite brunette reaching for a paper she had dropped. When she stood up and swept her shiny hair back to where he could see her face, she was beyond beautiful. Their eyes met and locked and they couldn't stop looking and checking each other out. When he turned to get his luggage, she was gone. Would he ever see her again?

Okay... I wasn't sure what LTB stood for, I admit, so I just went with my best guess. Anyway, as it says, let's talk books.

Love 2 0 By: cupcakeriot
What happens when your online life intersects with your real life?
~Woo-hoo, Rae has a new story (after just finishing dottir last week!) and goes in a completely different direction. It is witty, sarcastic, humorous and engaging. As usual, her Bella is independent and kickass and...a gamer! Loving it!

Hereafter By: RosieRathbone
It has been three months since Isabella Swan was last seen. Police have been working around the clock following thousands of different leads, but to no avail. Until one night, when a scared young lady arrives at a stranger's house.

Behind the Screen By: mariescullen
Edward Cullen isn't the only person to fall into the lovesick trap of the online profile "Kimberly Smith." Meanwhile, Bella Swan, television host and house-flipper, has one too many instances of people mistaking her as someone else...MTV's Catfish with a Twilight twist.
~Did someone catfish (pretend to be) TV host Bella’s image? What can she do?

dóttir by cupcakeriot
The Norns work in mysterious ways. What starts with a strike of lightning and an orphaned dragon egg will end up reshaping the future of the Vikings - and the Norse Gods themselves - forever.
~I loved this story SO much. I sure didn’t want it to end. How to Train Your Dragon meets Asgard meets Twilight. Absolutely brilliant writing.

Dark Paradise by Fragilelittleflame
[HOPELESS series - part three] Hollywood and the mafia never mixed well together. That is, until mob boss Edward Cullen married the actress of the century. Now everyone wants in on the action.

Kiss Me, You Idiot By: iambeagle
A story about falling in love with your charmingly idiotic roommate.
~Last chapter posted, epi up this weekend!

Come Back Tomorrow By: Shadow Masen

Sometimes the bad things that happen in our lives put us directly in the path of the best things that will ever happen to us.
~What an INCREDIBLE, intensely painful and gripping struggle is documented in this story. Bella is a psychologist at a hospital, specializing in grief counseling. She is given an assignment to work with a man who is only twenty-nine, diagnosed with lymphoma and has had no visitors. He refuses treatment, has given up and is just waiting to die. There is a window of hope, but can Bella help him see it?

PARACHUTE by KitsuShel
After finding an abandoned child on the streets of Seattle, Bella Swan raises him for five years as her own. What happens to their life when his biological family is found?
~Such an original premise for this story! Bella is walking down a street in Seattle with best friends Alice and Angela, when she hears a small whimper from down an alley. Upon further investigation, she finds a little toddler boy huddled behind a dumpster, with a tear-stained face, dirty clothes, matted hair, and the prettiest green eyes. The first heart-breaking thing he said was "Don't hurt me!" Awwww! She asked him if he was hurt, and he said "No. but I hungee." He said his name was Jack and he's three fingers old. It will just tear at your heart strings that someone ‘lost' such a precious little boy. What follows is an amazing account of how Bella, with the guidance of Charlie and the support of many others, won temporary custody of Jack, was able to adopt him after a year when he became a ward of the state, and provided him with five years surrounded with a ‘family' full of love and support, baseball, fishing and piano lessons. She continued to go to college, graduate, work and raise an amazing little Jack. What will happen when a private investigator Bella hires uncovers a news article of a prominent Chicago businessman who owns a major acquisitions company and is still mourning his missing son, Jackson. Bella has the P.I. do research on the family and when 8 year old Jack sees a picture of Edward Cullen, he yells, "Daddy!"

Bear Valley Ranch By: Mrs. Brownloe
The sequel to The Mail Order Bride.
~This is the much loved sequel to The Mail Order Bride, so if you haven't read that one, read it first. Set in the late 1800's, we get a very accurate account of day to day life on the frontier where Rancherward and Bella have quite an operation set up in between the mountains of Colorado as they welcome new baby Joy, and other new ranch workers. Edward is such a hard-working, upstanding, highly intelligent man as he manages and expands his cattle, farming, and his family. Bella is his diligent wife and partner, rising early to milk the cows, cook, clean, do the laundry, work in her garden, churn butter, sew, and tend to baby Joy. Then, if they're not so tired they collapse, and the baby stays asleep, when you get them behind closed bedroom doors, their love for each other burns with their intimacy. Gah, this is really good!

Hey. Hope you’re doing well.

Could you please help me in finding a story? It’s been years since I last read it and I forgot the name. I’m also unable to find it anywhere.

Bella is a vampire along with Charlie, who is her dad. She meets the Cullens, who are humans. Edward and Bella fall in love, then another vampire names Victor? Kills Charlie and injures Bella after kidnapping Edward. Bella is camatose but wakes up when Carlisle gives her animal blood. She changes Edward later in the story.
