Summary
Violet has spent the year after Liam’s death thinking Xaden hates her. Xaden’s spent even longer pretending he’s not completely in love with her.
But when Xaden fakes an engagement to Violet in an attempt to avoid an arranged marriage, the carefully crafted walls between them begin to crumble and they are forced to confront what had been simmering between them all along.
(Takes place in the middle of Iron Flame, but it’s in a canon divergent AU in which Violet never got with Xaden because she was dating Liam until Resson)

Summary
When Bodhi and Ridoc plan their elaborate wedding down in Mexico and inform Violet that her ex is coming, she comes up with a fake boyfriend to avoid dealing with it all. But instead she finds herself in an even bigger mess when she accidentally tells them that she's dating Xaden Riorson, the bane of her existence and someone she has claimed to hate for years. When he accepts her request to play along she's shocked, but he has reasons of his own to go along with the lie. As the week goes on the line between love and hate gets blurred and Violet can't help but forget the reasons she hated him in the first place. And memories of a night from years ago slip back into her mind and remind her of time she didn't hate him...not at all.

Summary
Violet never thought she'd be spending her honeymoon single, but when she's left at the altar, it seems pointless to waste the vacation she had planned. She fully intends to pass the two week transatlantic cruise by cursing her ex and drinking enough pina coladas to make the drink package she bought worth the price. But then she meets Xaden Riorson after a particularly clumsy accident after dinner, and it isn't long before she finds new ways to enjoy her newfound singlehood. He's cocky. Arrogant. And most importantly: All-too-eager to take her mind off her break-up with far more pleasurable pursuits.
