Edward Cullen was left devastated by Bella Swan's infidelity, having found her tangled up in the sheets with her best friend, Jacob Black. Nearly two decades later, and he was still reeling from the effects. He was numb, speaking only when spoken to and counting leaves in his spare time, which, according to him, all his time was 'spare'. But what happens when the Cullens find themselves moving to the Gold Coast of Australia? What happens when Edward notices a certain blue-eyed, golden-haired girl who shares the same name as the girl that broke his heart all those years ago? What happens when he finds himself drawn to the charming, mysterious girl, despite his best efforts to steer clear of her? What happens when he comes to find out that Bella Hartley and her friends share a secret of their own? What happens... when vampires and mermaids collide? *** "You're so... secretive," Edward mumbled bitterly, shaking his head in obvious annoyance. I narrowed my eyes at him on reflex, growing tired of his sour expression and biting comments. "You're one to talk," I quipped, folding my arms across my chest and resorting to staring out the window, ignoring his incessant, curious stare.

Oh, how exciting a new season can be. Every noble family, coming back to London in hopes that their children's introduction to the society will be crowned by nothing but success, notoriety and, of course, a lavish wedding. It would be an understatement for this author to say that it is my favorite time of the year. Same can surely be said about the Queen Charlotte herself, who is rumored to be sponsoring none other than her own niece, freshly arrived from America. Let's hope for her majesty, that her new protégée, will be at the height imposed by her royal sponsor. It will be my pleasure, as always, to keep an eye on that surprising new contestant...

In the rain-soaked nights of Forks, a heartbroken incubus meets the one man who doesn't want to fuck him-he just wants to love him. Charlie Swan never expected to fall for a demon in fishnets, but after years of being quietly abandoned by his immortal daughter, he's not letting go. Even if the Cullens think he needs saving. Even if the wolf pack is growling. Mordecai has spent centuries being everyone's fantasy and no one's home. Until Charlie looks at him and says: "Stay."

The 1814 season ended in ruins for Miss Penelope Featherington. Within the span of a single night, she lost her best friend to a devastating secret and overheard the man she loved crush her heart with a careless remark. Fleeing into the shadows of the garden, she expected to find only tears. Instead, she found him. Nathaniel Hawthorne, the elusive heir to a northern dukedom, has no taste for the glittering insincerity of London. He prefers the rugged moors of Chester and the truth of classical poetry. But in the dark of a Mayfair garden, he is captivated by a weeping wallflower with a razor-sharp wit-a woman who sees the world as clearly as he does. After a year of secret letters, they reunite in 1815. Penelope is desperate to escape her mother's house, and Nathaniel is desperate to escape the marriage-minded mamas of the Ton. The solution is simple: a fake courtship. He will provide the social status to bring her suitors, and she will provide the shield to keep him solitary. But as the game begins, the lines between pretense and passion blur.

Not only that but she has been trying to adjust to her new role as master of death and what that entails. As if sent by Merlin itself, Harry is called by a distant family member and given the opportunity to move to Mystic Falls for a peaceful new start. At least that was until her rotten luck followed her to the small town. (FemHarryxMikealsons)

Dearest Gentle Reader... A new debutante has made her grand entrance midseason. Not only does she boast the title of lady, but she harbors a secretive lineage, born of a departed lord. Her presence has ensnared the attention of the ton, disrupting matches the Queen herself hath spurned. Perhaps she shall be the one to unseat her from her throne. Elsewise, the ton shall find itself once more devoid of its Diamond, and this Lady Whistledown shall not let such a spectacle pass unnoticed. If you do not support LGBTQIA+ rights and intend to grace my comments with vitriol and hatred, be assured you shall be promptly blocked.

It's love island! Will Genevieve and Oakley work out? Or will their other connections get in the way?
