Summary

Summary
Xaden Riorson had been a constant in Violet’s life ever since Brennan brought him home to play when they were seven. He was her brother’s best friend, perpetually pulling her braids and shooting her dolls up into the air attached to bottle rockets. And yet, Violet had fallen in love with him. She never believed he’d ever see her as anything other than his best friend’s little sister, until he kissed her before she left for college.
But then he didn’t call. And at Brennan’s funeral he sat in the back with his head down and lips sealed—not saying a single word.
So she evaporated him from her heart. She made herself forget. She left home for a new life away from the ghosts that haunt her. But when she starts at Aretian Law as a seond year associate her plans are thrown out the window when the dark haired man with gold flecked onyx eyes walks into the conference room wearing a stone cold expression on the face that used to wear a toothless smile.

Summary
At 25, crime beat reporter Violet Sorrengail is already one of the most accomplished journalists in California, with an investigation into bribery at the LAPD gaining her national attention and fancy job offers in New York. But a panicked phone call from a source leaves her rattled — and seeking answers she can’t hope to get with a press badge hanging around her neck when they're found dead.
LAPD Detective Xaden Riorson is fighting a losing battle. The Aretia Hills Station he practically grew up in is crumbling under the weight of understaffing, gangs that seem to become more emboldened by the day, and distrust from the people he’s sworn to protect. Worse, he's being saddled with training a reporter who thinks she's a cop while the gang that bribed the station's officers continues running rampant.
Xaden and Violet couldn't be more diametrically opposed, and their partnership couldn’t get off to a worse start. But as Violet begins to uncover how the scandal that led her to the LAPD isn’t as black-and-white as she’d always believed, Xaden starts to suspect that there is something she — and the LAPD — is hiding.

Violet does exactly what she's told not to do in every universe, part infinity
