   Summary

   Violet Sorrengail had timed everything correctly. She was graduating with her PhD in Linguistics, job offer from the top research university, and planned to be engaged to her boyfriend soon. Yes, her timing was impeccable.

   Until…it wasn’t. Now, 27, single, and living in the guest bedroom of her brother and his family’s home, Violet’s timing is completely off, especially when it comes to her brother’s best friend, Xaden Riorson.
