Summary
Violet Sorrengail just wants to survive her first summer back at Aretia in nearly two years.
Older now, with new fears and new grief, she worries how she'll find her way back. But when she returns, the mountain is the same, with its cool, fresh air. The cabins still have graffiti-covered rafters and creaky floors. And there is Xaden Riorson, still shooting her glares and wicked grins from across the dining hall.
***
Xaden's frozen, his gaze midnight, flickering over my loose, mused hair. His eyes snag on the beginnings of a braid. I huff, shooting him a look and dropping the strands I’ve been trying to weave again. “Today it's just not cooperating.”
His smile is sly as he meets my gaze in the mirror. “Let me.” I flash a disbelieving look as he steps forward, hands wide in an appeasing gesture. “I lived with Sloane for nearly a decade. I can French braid, or Dutch if you’d prefer.” He quirks his brow at me in our reflections, and truly, how is this man allowed to exist?

Summary
Violet got some not so lovely feedback from her editors. Her sex scenes need more. The problem? Her vanilla boring ass exes who never really knew how to show her a good time. Enter Xaden Riorson, sort-of-celebrity private chef and neighbor down the hall who just loves to rile her up.
When an offer from him comes through to help her spice up her novel, she has a hard time resisting...And then she doesn't resist at all.

Summary
Xaden Riorson - savvy businessman, senate candidate, rising political star - has many problems. One of them being Cat-sized.
Enter Violet Sorrengail - hotshot political crisis consultant, former college classmate/rival/flirtation/frenemy, general distraction when he can't afford one. His burgeoning political career depends on her making sure fake stories don't make it into the press. One minor problem - she hates his guts, which doesn't make pulling off the biggest spin of the election cycle any easier.
Xaden never could get a grasp on where Violet's animosity towards him came from, even though now he's certain it's deserved. But after years of separation, he quickly learns that some fires haven't cooled - for either of them. And it doesn't take long for him to realize that the thin line between love and hate that's always seemed to separate them is disappearing faster than the time to Election Day.
