Summary
Violet is happy to helm story time for the early-learners group occasionally—it is her bookstore after all—but she has no interest in catering it for the holidays. None. Nada. And for the last time, there will be no tinsel in this building, Ridoc!
Enter Xaden Riorson: handsome tattoo artist and single dad. He's just trying his best to make ends meet, get his daughter to that reading-session-thing she likes so much, and make sure she has the best Christmas now that she's old enough to remember it.
Oh, and convince the gorgeous bookstore owner that the holidays aren't so bad after all if they celebrate them together. That too.

Summary
He thought their love could survive deployments, distance, and danger.
She knew it was never that simple.
A story in two parts: what he knew, what she couldn’t say and the enemies that won’t stay buried.Bookmarked by Maria27

Summary
Starting as strangers, over the course of a few years, Violet and Xaden meet at different weddings and their obvious attraction doesn't seem to take 'no' for an answer.
Four weddings, four seasons, more plot than I had originally intended. Come for the smut, stay for the possibility of a happy ending.

Summary
Three years ago, Violet Sorrengail had the best night of her life with Xaden Riorson, but when she woke the next morning, he was gone without a trace. She’s long accepted that whatever was between them is dead, but now, when a lucrative archaeological dig brings them back into each other's lives, Violet is forced to contend with a changed Xaden who is unfortunately just as beautiful as she remembers - and who is determined to prove to her that he's worth a second chance.

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.
