And the Oscar goes to by feralnessandFerlaV

Bella Swan is a Hollywood starlet with a plan to ridicule the Oscars ceremony. However, a busted ankle, a night with the most egotistical ass in the business and a litter of kittens were not a part of that plan. Life doesn't always go to plan.

Deeper Into Temptation by Smartmouth62

Twenty yr old Bella is happy doing what she loves most, dancing and cooking, she's had heartbreak and is now content being on her own. Why won't thirty-three yr old Edward,who wants her for his mistress, take no for an answer? Lots of lemons and tears.

Tunes with Tony Masen by Just4ALE

Fall to Ruin One Day by sleepyvalentina

He wanted to be the most powerful man on earth. As far as she was concerned, he already was. Love. Longing. A decade of regret. Time changes nothing...or does it?

Young Pilgrims by ineedyoursway

Bella lives a life without passion. Passion is the only thing Edward has.
