Summary
Violet is fine.
She's completely, one hundred percent fine.
So fine that her best friend has dragged her on an emergency vacation to Mexico to attempt to bring her back to the land of the living.
Not that she needs it. Of course not.
She also absolutely does not need to be railed to within an inch of her life by the gorgeous stranger who she can't quite manage to stay away from.

Summary
A millennia after the Deunification of Navarre, the war that splintered the Continent is little more than a dusty, half-forgotten memory. Magic is fading; dragons are few and far between; and Violet's problems are decidedly first-world. While the dragon riders of old worried about death lurking around every corner, her biggest worry is whether she'll get into the masters program of her choice. So when an infuriating, handsome man steals her spot at a coffee shop while she's in the bathroom, she doesn't expect that the meeting is far more than mere coincidence.
But Xaden's and Violet's feud over the best spot at the coffee shop evolves into something deeper, and as the years pass, Violet's dreams begin showing her terrifying scenes of war and loss that she struggles to forget about when she awakens, and the dreams feel more and more familiar with every passing night.

Summary
When Violet and Xaden find themselves in a rather compromising situation at 35,000 feet, their impulsive mile high lie lands them in London for a wedding week full of fancy events, suspicious relatives, and a story they have to keep straight. But as the line between real and pretend begins to blur, the consequences of their one little lie grow harder to ignore.
AKA : The fic where Xaden and Violet meet on a plane and get caught joining the mile high club. They impulsively claim they just got engaged in an effort to get out of trouble, locking them into living their lie as they head to London for a wedding in a story that celebrates some of our favorite tropes: Fake Relationships, Only One Bed, Forced Proximity and jealous Xaden's Touch Her and Die vibes.

Summary
If you can’t fight your enemies, you fuck them. That’s how these disputes always ended between royal families after all—in unhappy but politically convenient marriages.
---
Violet Sorrengail, lady in waiting to King Tauri's only daughter, is intent on securing an alliance between Navarre and Tyrrendor. When crown prince Xaden Riorson arrives in Calldyr to court the princess, she determines to do everything in her power to ensure they are married.
And Xaden Riorson? He would rather be anywhere but Calldyr, but his father, and his kingdom, are exhausted fighting a war on two fronts. Marrying King Tauri's daughter is the most efficient route to an alliance. Xaden's own desires don't matter when it comes to romance. They never have.
But when Xaden meets Violet, what's best for their respective kingdoms suddenly doesn't feel quite so important.
