Bella Swan knows the man she is going to travel to Italy with very well - even before they are formally introduced. Only a couple of weeks earlier, she had seen the same handsome face ordering a coffee at Starbucks and, fearing that he was way out of her league, she had kept quiet. Now, the Adonis of a man, who, she finds out, goes by the name of Edward Masen, is supposed to present ideas for an upcoming project to a wealthy Italian business man - with Bella as his interpreter... Once in Milan, Bella becomes aware of the extreme pull she feels towards Edward, who seems to reciprocate her feelings. After dinner in a sea food restaurant and a nice walk home, Edward accompanies Bella to her room. When it's time to say goodbye he begs her to tell him to leave, hinting at the consequences if she didn't... And even though nothing happens that night, the two don't seem to get each other out of their minds. With a bouquet of flowers, Edward invites Bella to a non-business dinner and has a proposition to make that she can't refuse, or can she? The House of Glass is completely written from Bella's POV. Given the fact that Edward tends to behave inexplicably cold and bossy, this can be rather frustrating. The reader only knows as much as Bella and that means he is often left with dozens of questions. Like the fanfic's title for example. Though subtle hints are given here and there, the mystery behind The House of Glass isn't revealed until after two thirds of the story are over. But, I think, it's really worth the wait because it fits the plot and, more importantly, Edward, perfectly. Finally, it might be of interest to many of you out there, to know that this story doesn't include any lemons. Once Edward and Bella are about to "do the deed" there is a cut and we read about the "moment after". Though a lot of readers will be sad to hear that (myself included) The House of Glass doesn't need the description of sex to be intriguing, the well-written characters do that all by themselves.

The House of Glass consists of 21 chapters and a total of 78,138 words. The story is rated T.

Bella Swan is the personal assistant of Edward Cullen, designated CEO of Cullen International Cooperation. From the moment she first laid eyes on him, Bella has been absolutely smitten with her boss. He, however, seems totally oblivious to her and her affection...

When the young woman can't take it anymore she decides to meet with Edward's brothers (and designated co-CEO's) Emmett and Jasper as well as her best friends Rosalie and Alice and confides her feelings to them. The five work out a strategy to make Edward see Bella in a more sexual rather than work-related light. What follows are tons of sexual innuendos, lots of seducation, wild phantasies, and much UST!

Shockingly, His Personal Assistant is the only story ever written by NorthernLights17. A real shame if you ask me because this fanfiction is funny, erotic, and very-well written. Emmett and Jasper's idea to let Bella renenact Edward's sexual desires and experiences is wonderfully played out and one feels almost sorry for the man... But only almost. ; )

His Personal Assistant consists of 46 chapters and a total of 172,828 words. The story is rated MA for very graphic description of sexual activities and foul language.

  Bella Swan has a secret that, although neither shameful nor her fault, cost her her marriage and life in Forks, Washington. In order to leave her disastrous past behind, she decides to take over a job at the London branch of her company Volturi Executive Search and Selection. Once safely in the UK, Bella visits her future work space to meet her new colleagues and boss, number one headhunter Edward Cullen. She is definitely not prepared for what life has in store for her...

When Edward Cullen meets his new PA he is blown away. Forgotten are the old days as notorious womanizer; the headhunter now only has one woman in mind - Bella. And even though the latter makes clear that it would be better for both of them to remain friends, Edward can't manage to hide his feelings. But will he be willing and able to deal with Bella's secret?

Amber 1983 really knows how to deal with a delicate topic because Bella's little secret is... as unusual as it is unexpected, to say the least. Honestly, I had no idea "problems" like these even existed and definitely learned a lot while reading the story! But don't worry, even though this slightly unorthodox "secret" is the source for a lot of drama and some angst, the whole matter is neither frivolous nor cheap. Well, have I aroused your interest? Trust me, you REALLY want to read this! : )

The Search consists of 31 chapters and a total of 182,812 words. The story is rated MA for graphic description of sexual activities, insinuation of domestic abuse and foul language.

COMPLETE

What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas! Well, not really - Bella Swan can attest to that. Drunk and not her usual cautious self, the young woman spends the night with a handsome stranger and finds out weeks later that she's pregnant. As Bella sees no chance of finding her baby's daddy she decides to raise the little boy on her own - even though looking into Joshua's small emerald green eyes constantly reminds her of a man she has no hope to ever meet again. Once Josh is 9 months old Bella decides to start working full-time again. She manages to get the position as PA of one Mike Newton, manager of the marketing department at Cullen International. During her first couple of days Bella meets the company's founder Carlisle Cullen, his lovely wife Esme, and their sons Emmett and Edward. The latter is Cullen International's CEO and a real prick, well at least to Bella. While others know Edward for his kindness and willingness to help, the young woman only receives evil eyes and disinterested looks. Little does she know that there is more to mysterious Edward Cullen than she thinks there is... Hard to believe, but true: Mask of Indifference is Isabella N Edward's first, and so far, only fanfiction! Well, her debut was definitely a success! The characters of the story are nicely portrayed and very likable (Josh is an angel!). It takes a couple of chapters for Bella to find out who her son's father is (*mmh* Who could that be?) and at least as much time for her to work out the courage to let him know. In the meantime, there are a lot of sweet moments between her, Josh, and Edward. Can't wait for Isabella N Edward's next story!

Mask of Indifference consists of 41 chapters and a total of 159,174 words. The story is rated M for lemons and foul language.

For as long as Bella can remember she spent the christmas holidays with the Cullens. With her mother gone and Charlie often working long hours, Esme, Carlisle and their children have become somewhat of a second family.

Bella is especially close to Edward, whom she used to consider her best friend. This changed however, when they were sixteen and too much alcohol led to an awkward first sexual experience. Ever since then, the two are either bickering or giving each other the silent treatment. No one wants to share their feelings, no one wants to admit they care about the other. Things start to change, however, when Edward brings his girlfriend Tanya. Though she is obviously not the brightest crayon in the box, the girl has something Bella desperately wants: Edward.

This is an amazing fanfiction! The writing is superb and unbelievably funny! All chapters are written from Bella's point of view and let me tell you, this girl is a firecracker! Her sense of humor will leave no eyes dry! The rest of the characters are also well portrayed: there is cold, but smart Rosalie, cool dope drealer Jasper, or hyper and loving Alice. This story is a must-read!

Christmas with the Cullens consists of 17 chapters and a total of 64,693 words. The story is rated M for mature content.

At nineteen Edward Cullen made a decision that would haunt him for the next ten years: when his best friend Bella confesses her unconditional love for him, he dismisses his own feelings, rejects her and offers to remain friends instead. Heartbroken, Bella leaves her life and home town behind and moves to New York to start fresh. But neither the change of location nor her focus on the job help her forget Edward and love for him. And so, one day, when Bella happens to bump into Edward's little sister Alice, she doesn't hesitate to accept an invation to the Cullens' christmas party.

Let me get this straight: this fanfiction is fluffy, fluffy, fluffy. Don't expect major drama or chapter after chapter of the two getting back together - this is romantic, cute, and yes, not necessarily realistic. But the wonderful christmas setting and an awfully sweet Edward really make up for that!
