Summary
Violet is happy to helm story time for the early-learners group occasionally—it is her bookstore after all—but she has no interest in catering it for the holidays. None. Nada. And for the last time, there will be no tinsel in this building, Ridoc!
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
Over the course of her short life, Sloane Mairi has grieved for her parents, her province, and now her brother. Her grief and anger could easily consume her, but without them, how would she go on?
Dain Aetos isn't sure who he is or what he's doing. Lately, he's begun to doubt everything he's ever known, himself most of all. Lately, he's been looking for answers to questions he's never thought to ask before.
Can these two broken souls find peace in the unlikeliest of places: each other?
PLEASE NOTE: This is an edited (read: polished), reformatted version of We Can't Be Friends, which I am posting solely for my own pleasure. This version of the story includes a dizzying amount of new epigraphs, new content, and slight deviations to the events of the original story. It does not supersede the original.

Summary
Three years ago, Violet Sorrengail had the best night of her life with Xaden Riorson, but when she woke the next morning, he was gone without a trace. She’s long accepted that whatever was between them is dead, but now, when a lucrative archaeological dig brings them back into each other's lives, Violet is forced to contend with a changed Xaden who is unfortunately just as beautiful as she remembers - and who is determined to prove to her that he's worth a second chance.
