PREFACE

Bean Swan's move to Forks, a small, perpetually rainy town in Washington, could have been the most boring move he ever made. But once he meets the mysterious and alluring Trixie, Bean's life takes a thrilling and terrifying turn.
Up until now, Trixie has managed to keep her vampire identity a secret in the small community she lives in, but now nobody is safe, especially Bean, the person Trixie holds most dear. The lovers find themselves balanced precariously on the point of a knife -- between desire and danger.
Deeply romantic and extraordinarily suspenseful, Twilight captures the struggle between defying our instincts and satisfying our desires. This is a love story with bite.
