***
“I think you’ll find she is anything but vulnerable. You just insist on seeing her that way. But that is your failing, not hers.” His gaze shifts to Dain as he says it, but before it does, he catches an open expression on Violet’s face, which almost looks like pride.Or: Violet's a debutante, and Xaden's an eligible Duke, but they both have secrets, and sometimes love takes a while.

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 took only a few minutes for Violet to figure out what purpose she served.
No one said it out loud—not yet, but they’d get there—but they kept throwing out words like formalizing alliances and uniting two groups, and she understood.
Violet was a sacrificial lamb, and Xaden Riorson was the wolf, and her slaughter would be their marriage.

Summary
Wyvern Invasion/Dystopian World | Canon Divergent | Violet x Xaden | Violet x Dain.
In a realm teetering on the brink of ruin, where Wyverns scorch the sky and Venin lurk in every shadow, Violet Sorrengail finds herself caught between duty, desire, and a devastating choice. With Xaden, she has found a fierce love that defies every dark corner of their world—a love so powerful, it threatens to consume them both. But when Dain steps back into her life, bringing with him memories of a quieter past and promises of a safer future, Violet’s heart is torn in two.
As the wyverns close in, Violet must decide which path will bring her the strength to save her people—and herself. Will she choose the searing passion of Xaden, her unlikely and ardent protector? Or the steadiness of Dain, who offers a chance for peace amidst the chaos?
