    Summary

    Violet has spent her entire life pretending to be normal.

    At the flower shop, she is just Violet Daxton—the quiet girl who runs the register and arranges bouquets. No one there knows her real last name. No one knows her family is part of Basgiath, the coalition of crime families.

    And Violet intends to keep it that way.

    But when Melgren is assassinated, the men responsible walk straight into the shop to order funeral flowers.

    Violet is many things, but stupid isn’t one of them. Opportunities like this don’t come twice.

    Xaden Riorson is her target, and if she can get close enough to him while hiding behind her harmless little florist identity—and exploiting Liam Mairi’s sudden obsession with Sol—she might finally earn the one thing she’s never had:

    Her mother’s approval.

    Violet has spent years keeping her two lives separate.

    She just never expected them to collide like this.
