Edward Cullen is used to getting everything he wants. Good looking, wealthy, and charming, NYC's most reputable playboy doesn't take "no" for an answer. Then he meets Isabella Swan and all bets are off ... Except for one. 

Alternate universe, all-human, canon pairs. 

Graphic sex, adult themes, lemony goodness, language, a dash of angst, and some good old-fashioned romance. 

How do you love or trust someone else when you don’t love or trust yourself? Bella has been broken down & hurt emotionally more times than she cares to admit, and she believes she's destined to be alone...forever. Perhaps there’s still hope of changing her fate, though--starting with a birthday present to herself in the form of Edward!

AH, OOC, canon pairings (of main characters at least), E/BPOV, Romance/Humor/Angst (just enough to drive the story, nothing heavy), NC-17 for language & graphic sexual content.
