Completed After a harrowing case that hits too close to home, Aaron Hotchner finds himself confronting the one thing he's spent years avoiding-his own feelings. You become both his anchor and his biggest distraction. What starts as a quiet understanding grows into something undeniable, but Hotch's past, the dangers of the job, and his unyielding sense of duty threaten to keep you apart. Will he finally let himself want something just for him?

When a dangerous killer targets newlywed couples, the FBI's Behavioral Analysis Unit has one way to catch them - going undercover. You and Hotch are assigned to pose as a married couple to infiltrate the investigation. Pretending to be in love was supposed to be easy. Just a job. Just an act. But late-night stakeouts, whispered secrets, and stolen glances start to blur the line between fake and real. Can you keep your hearts safe when the danger closes in - or will the act become something neither of you expected? Enemies, partners, and maybe something more - this undercover mission will change everything.

Who knew someone who made you so mad could make you feel so good. You never imagined you would fall in love with him, and you never thought you could love someone so deeply.

Hotch agreed to not fight Strauss when she added an eighth agent to the team. He did not agree to like said agent.
