Although y/n had worked at the BAU for three years, her life and troubled past remained somewhat reserved from the team besides from Emily who was always there by her side. But from the time she was hired, Hotch, her boss, would not shake his cold shoulder towards her. But when Y/n gets assigned on a cult case with Reid, Hotch's jealousy forms uncontrollably without his realization, making it harder for him to make his next decisions. With odd predicaments between them arising and y/n's past making a reappearance, what will happen if the cold stern boss turns warm and heartfelt for his coworker? And will y/n have the gusto to open up to him about her life?

You and Hotch have been friends for years, and colleagues for even longer. One night, after years of stealing glances and holding back, you finally reveal your feelings for each other. As questions of your career and his reputation arise, however, you decide it's best to keep the relationship a secret. But when you're working with a team of FBI profilers, how long can you keep the truth just between the two of you?

When 24 year old Aaron Hotchner receives his first official post for the FBI as part of an Ambassador's security detail, he finds himself entranced by the Ambassador's 19 year old daughter.
