Summary
Violet Sorrengail is on a holiday mission: Save her best friend's struggling café by persuading one reluctant business owner to participate in the annual Christmas decorations contest.
The only problem? The impossibly intense (and gorgeous) co-owner of The Iron Flame, who views Christmas as nothing but an annoyance and a distraction from training.
He is the ultimate Grinch. Violet is pure, Christmas cheer. What could go wrong?

Between losing her apartment, juggling classes, and wrangling two dogs—one of them who happens to be a chaos puppy—she’s one step away from a breakdown. The last thing she expects is to end up living with Xaden Riorson—grumpy, gorgeous, and absolutely not thrilled about their new living arrangement.Roommates. Enemies. Maybe something else.

Violet Sorrengail's Guide to Spinning a Scandal by caeli0306 for Cee_Darling (Cee_darling)
Fandoms: The Empyrean - Rebecca Yarros
30 Jul 2024
Tags
Summary
Violet Sorrengail is a highly effective political crisis consultant. Xaden Riorson is poised to win his late father's old senate seat. The hatred between the two runs deep, but its been years since their fiery classroom debates in college, and Violet was certain she'd never cross paths with him again, until her expertise is required to keep doctored stories that could sink Xaden's campaign from gaining traction just before the general election.
The chemistry is off-the-charts, the tension has every other staffer fleeing when the two end up in the same room, and the fire that existed between them is as hot as ever. But as time goes on, Violet begins to realize exactly how true the saying, "There's a thin line between love and hate," really is.

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
“You want to have an heir?” The skepticism is palpable in his tone, as though he’s sure he must have misunderstood her. She doesn’t quite blame him.
“No,” she replies, painfully honest. “I want to have a baby, Xaden. But I’m willing to give you an heir.”
Lonely, desperate, and miserable, Violet’s life as reluctant queen of Tyrrendor in a post-war Aretia is less fairytale and more nightmare. When the husband she never asked for denies her the one last thing she’d hoped could improve her situation, she breaks.
A tale of love and despair – and of how sometimes you need to break completely in order to heal and then, eventually, live.

Summary
“Why a macchiato?” I finally ask as I steam the milk.
“Why not a macchiato?”
“Don’t be contrary.” I shoot back. “If you don’t like milk, order an espresso.”
“I do like milk.” He rests his elbows on the counter, a slow smile spreading across his face as he stares across at me.
“Then order a flat white.”
“Not that much milk.” One corner of his lips ticks up in a lopsided smirk.
My eye twitches. “F—” Fuck you, is what I was going to say, but at the last minute I realise he’s still a customer and I need to remain professional…and also I don’t want to give him the satisfaction of knowing how much he irritates me.

Enter Xaden Riorson: handsome tattoo artist and single dad. He's just trying his best to make ends meet, get his daughter to that reading-session-thing she likes so much, and make sure she has the best Christmas now that she's old enough to remember it.
Oh, and convince the gorgeous bookstore owner that the holidays aren't so bad after all if they celebrate them together. That too.

Summary
It should be illegal to look that good.
And the worst part? Xaden’s irrevocably, completely, without a doubt, off-limits. Although, I’d very much like him to be on-limits.
And on me.He also happens to be the guy I’ve been hopelessly in love with for the last 7 years. Unrequited of course, because a guy like Xaden would never be interested in his best friend’s kid sister.

Summary
Single girl dad Xaden can't keep a nanny. They all hit on him. This time, he's the one wanting to hit on the nanny. Violet is a single mom to a little boy and runs a home daycare. All of the found family, cozy holiday vibes to come. Think holiday hallmark movie meets fourth wing. Xaden is much softer in this and doesn't have nearly as many secrets. Some of the characters will not be included and it won't follow the plot of Fourth Wing or Iron Flame really at all.
