"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.
