A/N:

This is a story I have been developing for a couple of years now. I didn't intend for it to be a fanfiction piece, nor did I intend to add sex to it lol, my characters have their own names, their own identities apart from Twilight. But I decided to tweak it so I could share it. I love this site and all the stories on here so I decided to contribute.

Disclosure for entire story: I do NOT own the characters, or the world in which Twilight exists. I own this story, it came to me in a dream in 2009, and I have been working on it slowly ever since.

I hope you all enjoy this! I will update weekly when possible. The prologue will be short but the chapters will be long!

SUMMARY:

Bella has always wanted to be a writer at REPUBLIC. THE magazine with all the latest in fashion news, where she writes an anonymous column about how to win any man's heart using her List. A list comprised of traits that men find irresistible. But to establish herself and prove she didn't use her family name to land her job, she needs a groundbreaking story. To get the career changing story on a feuding designer hostile takeover, she needs the inside scoop. Enter Edward Cullen. He's the nerdy but smart and sweet, lawyer with the inside track, but he's tight lipped about it. Bella will use her List and do whatever it takes to get this story. Problem is, Edward is immune to the List. Bella must change her tactics, open up her heart, and find out who she really is and who she wants to be. And Edward may be the person to help her, if he can get over his heartbreaking past. A story of love, loss, and betrayal. Will these two find a way to be together? Or will their pasts split them apart?
