Hell's handmaiden met a Habsburg prince. Budapest, 1806. She, a valnak, a Baroness, an inglorious beast. He, a palatine, a pasha, with his future beneath the guillotine. Her heart dead, his languishing in aristocratic decay. Their meeting was historical, sensual.  Give up? Genuflect? Claim. Carnal, craving, creatures whose lives align while empires topple. One vampiress, one man, overcoming the rampage of falling parapets.

It is 1943 and WW II is devastating Europe. Edward Masen is a 23 years old American parachutist sent by the OSS on a secret mission, meant to help the partisans fighting the Nazis in Northern Italy. There he meets a girl concealing a terrible secret. They fall passionately in love and plan to marry as soon as Italy is liberated. However, while going back to the Allied lines and trying to reach Anzio, where the Anglo American forces are struggling to break through Germans’ opposition, Edward finds his nemesis, in the form of two Volturi warriors.

Edward is now a newborn vampire, fierce, desperate and bloodthirsty. Will he succumb forever to his inner monster or will he be able to recover at least some of his lost humanity? Will he see his love again and resist the urge to kill her? 

My parents and relatives told me many times of the day when Rome was liberated, much earlier than Northern Italy, and how joyful they felt. It was June 4th, 1944.

The American troops entered our city passing through Via Casilina and Porta Maggiore. It was a triumph. People cheered, girls threw flowers, kids got rides in the Jeeps. Romans were free, after 20 years of dictatorship followed by Nazi occupation. It was as if a gray leaden cloak had been lifted and everybody could breathe again. I dedicate The Parachutist to those brave, smiling American boys.

An old friend calls the Cullens to Italy.  The Volturi have discovered a secret of Demetri and Heidi’s: they possess a potentially powerful weapon and the Volturi want it as their own.  Carlisle, owing Demetri a favor, takes the family to Italy to collect the item to bring back to Forks for safekeeping. 

Little do they know, the item is a 16 year old human girl named Bella, who already possesses amazing abilities in her human form.  Edward falls instantly in love with the girl but is it an effect of her amazing abilities or has he finally found what he has been searching for his entire existence? Will he risk his own life and family to protect her from the Volturi?

Things are never what they seem - or are they? The source of the Cullen's vast wealth returns to Forks, to deal with a most pressing problem, and Edward is at the center of it. This is an AU, non-canon, OOC story, because if it wasn't, then I'd be writing Twilight.

Childhood pipe-dreams & promises... When Bella's Mother relocates them away from her best friend, her heart is left hanging by a thread. 16 Years later when fate steps in, will the world famous, Teddy Masen remember where his heart belongs? 

A romantic love story, with a few laughs and zesty lemons thrown in for good measure!

Edward is a 25-year-old virgin who happens to have a thing for his best friends, boyfriends, best friend. On the night of his birthday party will he be able to tell him what he feels? Will his crush feel the same? AH, non-canon, Slash

After living on the blood of humans for decades Edward returns home to his family. He finds things are very different from when he left. Can a brown eyed orphan help him cure his thirst once and for all? Or make him hunger for more than blood? B/E OOC/AU lemons-
