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
When Violet Sorrengail arrives for her second year at Basgiath University, she's determined about one thing - she is over men! This year is about herself, her friends, her schooling, and her future. That’s it.
Xaden Riorson's senior year just needs to end so he can get back to Aretia, even if home is filled with too many ghosts. He'd prefer to just stick to himself and his friends this year. That is until a pair of hazel eyes catch his, and he falters.
A tale of mutual attraction denied until it can't be any longer. They fall. They break. Then they mend to become unbreakable.

I Ordered Dinner, Not a Bisexual Crisis by staticintheair for BetterSky
Fandoms: The Empyrean - Rebecca Yarros

Summary
Violet Sorrengail has spent seven months being very normal about her neighbor.
So normal, in fact, that she has put Xaden Riorson in a very specific box: Thursday nights, no feelings, back across the hall before he can do anything dangerous, like ask about her day. It is not dating. It is not friendship. It is not part of her real life. Violet has said this so many times it almost sounds true.
But the problem with keeping the men in her life in separate boxes is that sometimes the boxes start wanting each other.

Summary
Five years ago, Xaden Riorson broke Violet's heart as she recovered in a hospital bed. And for five years since then, she's been successful in ignoring the half-completed soulbond relic on her back, living a relatively normal life in New York as the only signet-less member of the supernatural-hunting Sorrengail family.
Unfortunately for her, with her sister's disappearance, she's also the last Sorrengail capable of renewing the treaty keeping the supernatural world separate from the mortal one. With Violet's life — and the Treaty's renewal — at risk, she finds herself forced into a duty and marriage she doesn't want. She is determined to fight against the pull of the bond between their souls and keep Xaden at arms' length, but his inexplicable behavior quickly has her suspecting that there was far more to the day that shattered her family and their relationship than she could have possibly guessed.
or
second chance romance/soulmates AU where violet is a supernatural hunter without powers, xaden is an angel, and they've been reunited five years after their break up because of an arranged marriage that is forcing them to complete their soulbond.
