   Summary

   Violet has spent the year after Liam’s death thinking Xaden hates her. Xaden’s spent even longer pretending he’s not completely in love with her.

   But when Xaden fakes an engagement to Violet in an attempt to avoid an arranged marriage, the carefully crafted walls between them begin to crumble and they are forced to confront what had been simmering between them all along.

   (Takes place in the middle of Iron Flame, but it’s in a canon divergent AU in which Violet never got with Xaden because she was dating Liam until Resson)
