Summary
Violet Sorrengail is on thin ice with her publishing company. One year after a devastating breakup, writer's block grips her. The blank page taunts. Her series finale languishes, unwritten and overdue. In a Hail Mary to preserve Violet's career and reputation, her literary agent offers his unoccupied winter home in the mountains. Suddenly, Violet is saying goodbye to her life in Philadelphia and is heading to Chattanooga to find inspiration and write her book. But when she runs into her ex-boyfriend and learns he also lives in Chattanooga, Violet is forced into a whirlwind of self-reflection and flashbacks from her love story with Xaden Riorson. Try as they might, they can't seem to stay away from each other. But maybe, just maybe, they can keep each other as friends.
Title inspired by "The Scientist" by Coldplay.

Summary
“Xaden?” I pose a question silently to him, hoping beyond everything that I’m wrong. That the person in his arms isn’t who I think it is. He looks up at me, his eyes full of despair, and I know I was right.
“You have to save her.” His voice is broken.

Summary
Violet Sorrengail is about to graduate after three long years in the Riders Quadrant when she’s selected for an elite team of riders representing Navarre in the Continental Games. With delegations from Tyrrendor, Poromiel and the mysterious Isle Kingdoms descending on Basgiath for the games, Violet finds herself on the brink of discovering a deadly secret.
And if that’s not complicated enough, the head of the Tyrrish delegation is none other than the man she’d kissed two years ago and then never heard from again— Xaden Riorson, the Crown Prince of Tyrrendor.
(Takes place nine years after the rebellion, imagining that Tyrrendor seceded and formed their own kingdom.)

All Violet really wants is a little relief.
Newly bonded and channeling pure dragon lust thanks to Tairn, she heads to the Infantry Quadrant in search of her boyfriend Halden—only to find him in bed with someone else.

OR
What if Halden and Violet never broke up and are still dating during her first year? And what if she finds out he’s cheating and Xaden is there to help her get over it?

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.
