Grace Winslow and Professor Catherine Harrow don't know each other. Not yet. Grace is a guarded freshman trying to outrun her mother's legacy. Catherine is a sharp, cold psychology professor who teaches a course called Psychology of Human Intimacy. After their first class, something shifts. Something quiet. Something dangerous. When a family connection is unexpectedly revealed-through a woman they've both learned to love and resent-boundaries begin to blur. What begins in silence becomes obsession. Attachment Theory is a sapphic, slow-burn academic romance about intimacy, power, longing, and everything we pretend not to feel.

"I'm living in hell. At least that's how it feels. But it's okay because I don't know any different. You can get used to anything if you think it's meant to be." Y/n is living her life in the hell of her childhood home until the BAU frees her. After years there is a reunion with her rescuers to help solve her own case. Does everybody still recognize her? Does y/n remember what happend? Is she good enough and able to help? And why can't she get Emily Prentiss out of her head? I'm writing this story from the first person perspective. I use the pronouns she/her for y/n, if you would like something different, let me know. This is my first story and English is not my first language, so please be gracious. This story covers toxic parents, murder (not clearly described), violence and mental health problems such as depression, anxiety, eating disorders, self-harm and suicide attempt/ thoughts. Please don't read this story if it triggers you. If you wanna know exactly what TW every Chapter has, feel free to message me. Maybe there will be smut if I dare to write this ;) I don't own any of the characters! Have fun and let me know what you think!

BOOK 1 Y/n isn't used to look after celebrities - she's a soldier, not a babysitter. But when she's assigned to protect actress Scarlett Johansson and her four-year-old daughter from a dangerous stalker, she has no choice. But behind Scarlett's famous smile, Y/n discovers a woman who is more than just a job. What starts as a burdensome duty quickly turns into something much deeper. The two women grow closer, learning to trust each other - and to allow feelings Y/n keeps trying to push away.
