Summary
Xaden Riorson is being eaten alive by the nightmares he hides, and Violet Sorrengail is running from the ones that nearly destroyed her - but when their worlds collide, the fire between them might save them both… or burn them to ash.
Aretia is a city on the edge, and no one feels the strain more than Xaden Riorson - newly appointed Captain in Station Four, he's been running from his nightmares by running into fires. Across town Violet Sorrengail, AGH’s newest trauma nurse, is running from a past that she can't seem to escape.
What begins as a single collision becomes impossible to ignore. Every shift, every call, every near‑miss pulls them closer, until the line between duty and desire blurs beyond recognition. And as Aretia grows more unstable, Xaden and Violet must decide whether the fire between them is worth the risk of being burned.

Summary
It should be illegal to look that good.
And the worst part? Xaden’s irrevocably, completely, without a doubt, off-limits. Although, I’d very much like him to be on-limits.
And on me.He also happens to be the guy I’ve been hopelessly in love with for the last 7 years. Unrequited of course, because a guy like Xaden would never be interested in his best friend’s kid sister.

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.
