She's also troubled by the sudden death of her mother and being thrown into a whole new world she never knew about. She warms to James quickly but doesn’t seem to want to know her father.

When a man from Violet's past threatens to destroy the world Hayden and James have created for her, questions are raised. Hayden must navigate his newfound fatherhood and do what he can to protect the little girl he'd do anything for. Even if that means breaking his heart in the process.
