"He profiles people. She profiles language. But neither of them are ready to figure each other out." Wren Calloway is a forensic linguist with a sharp tongue, a faster brain, and ADHD-fuelled chaos in her soul. She's made a career out of reading between the lines-until the BAU invites her to step into their world of darkness, danger, and unspeakable crimes. Enter Aaron Hotchner: team leader, master profiler, and emotional fortress in a suit. He doesn't do mess. He doesn't do feelings. And he definitely doesn't do distractions. But Wren? Wren is all of that and more. As the BAU faces cases that test the limits of their minds and hearts, Wren and Hotch must navigate their growing connection-one cryptic quote, one sideways glance, one soul-baring truth at a time. A slow-burn romance filled with profiling, poetic chaos, and the art of being seen. In a world full of monsters, sometimes the hardest thing to decode is yourself.

|❝ i loved you 𝐝𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐬𝐥𝐲, more than the air that i breathe ❞| - - - - - 𝗜𝗡 𝗪𝗛𝗜𝗖𝗛 Aaron discovers his wife tangled up in the sheets with another man. During a pre-planned night with the boys, he finds himself wanting to distract himself from the image of his wife with someone else - which was still fresh in his mind. With alcohol and low inhibitions coupled with Morgan and Rossi continuously egging him on, it certainly wasn't fate that brought them together.

Riven Maris Vale doesn't want to be here. She left the FBI six years ago without a word-after a case went wrong, after a victim died, and after the man she almost fell for walked away first. Now she's back in the BAU, sharp as ever, colder than before, and assigned to work under Unit Chief Aaron Hotchner. They don't talk about Chicago. They don't talk about what almost happened. And they sure as hell don't talk about the rules they're about to break. But when the past resurfaces with a new case-and a new killer-Hotch and Riven are forced to confront the one truth they've both buried for too long: Some lines were meant to be crossed. WARNING: THIS IS A SECOND CHANCE ROMANCE! THERE IS DETAILED SMUT AND FOUL LANGUAGE! AND YES IT GOES FASTER THAN NORMAL!

Arabella never meant to fall for him. He's her boss. A single father. A man still carrying the weight of too much loss. But the night Aaron Hotchner calls and asks her to watch his son, something shifts. It starts with Jack-movie nights, soccer games, inside jokes. But somewhere between bedtime stories and quiet cups of coffee, Arabella finds herself drawn into the spaces Hotch keeps guarded. The silences. The glances. The way he looks at her like she's the first steady thing he's allowed himself in years. Their connection is unspoken, fragile, and slow-achingly slow. But some loves aren't born in sparks. Some are built in quiet moments-until they become impossible to ignore. Just this once, she lets herself want more. Just this once, he lets her in. And neither of them is ready for what that means.

Spencer wraps the blanket tighter around us causing me to melt into him further. He sweeps my wet hair over my shoulder while I stare out towards the golden sunset. He plants a kiss on my temple before nuzzling his face into my neck. "Thank you," He whispers. I run my fingers through his soft curls, "For what?" "For showing me life doesn't always have to be so serious," He sighs. "I don't know what I did before you," He mutters, almost like it wasn't for me to hear.
