Summary
Hannah Wells meant to spend one wild night in Vegas forgetting her cheating ex, not wake up legally married to Garrett Graham, Chicago Blackhawks superstar and certified walking bad decision.
Garrett meant to enjoy NHL Awards weekend, not become TMZ’s favorite new husband before breakfast.
But Hannah needs good press, Garrett’s team sees dollar signs, and everyone from her lawyer to his agent agrees on one thing: staying married might be the smartest disaster either of them has ever made.
The plan is simple. Fake the marriage. Save Hannah’s Super Bowl halftime chances. Boost Garrett’s golden-boy hockey image. Divorce quietly after the season.
Unfortunately, Garrett is funny, infuriating, stupidly hot, and much better at pretending to be her husband than he has any right to be.
And Hannah has never been good at leaving a song unfinished.

Summary
Violet Sorrengail is a forensic anthropologist good with only one thing: dead people. Their bones speak a language only she can hear, but the living aren't quite so easy to understand - particularly one FBI Agent Xaden Riorson, who does everything possible to get under her skin. When an unexpected murder victim washes up in DC, the ensuing investigation brings them closer together despite her every effort to stay away, and she's forced to decide if the careful distance she keeps around her heart is really worth it.

Summary
It’s a little pathetic, but Violet is his person. She is sunshine and light, everything that is good in the world and everything that Xaden long thought he was undeserving of, but now has in abundance. He wants to spend as much time around her as he possibly can, basking in the warmth of her love.
—
Or, Xaden spends boys' night out missing his girlfriend and is thrilled when he gets to go home to her.

Summary
Air whooshes out of her lungs. A wheeze, maybe a laugh. Violet asks, “Have you hit your head?”
“What?”
“Of course it’s been a hard day,” she elaborates. “We were invaded.”
Xaden frowns. “Violet,” he says, faint exasperation coating his voice.
// or, Violet's very bad, no good, terrible day. Set right after IF ends
