𝐀 𝐒𝐓𝐎𝐑𝐘 𝐈𝐍 𝐖𝐇𝐈𝐂𝐇, Spencer Reid becomes the parental guardian to his little sister after institutionalizing his mother - proving to him that raising a kid is hard when you're still a kid yourself. Elizabeth Reid was born twelve years after Spencer, a surprise pregnancy that leaves the Reid household in disarray before she is even in diapers. Spencer had biked over to the library after hearing the news, researching for eight hours just exactly the right thing to do. He had been so scared about another life being brought into the chaos, but once he held her within his hands he knew that it was the one good thing he had to protect. When Spencer turns eighteen, he realizes one thing: love can't fix things. He makes the difficult decision of institutionalizing his mother and taking legal guardianship of six-year-old Lizzy when fearing for his sister's safety with their mother's worsening condition. Spencer could change diapers, he could take her to school, but actually stepping up proves to be far over his head. He can solve mathematical equations like nothing, memorize anything with a glance, give lectures, but he cannot for the life of him understand why Lizzy refuses to go anywhere without something pink and talks back like she has a personal vendetta against him. Spencer's mind is sent into a loop; is he holding on too tightly? Not holding on tight enough? What are the chances of her turning into a sociopath from the childhood trauma? Lizzy on the other hand, only really wants one thing. For Spencer to be proud of her, which is often left lost in translation. No matter what she does, it never feels good enough. But love isn't just words. Sometimes it's packed lunches, bedtime stories, rambling, fighting about silly things, and learning when to let go. Most importantly, love can be just what Spencer and Lizzy need to heal.

Rain Jones has mastered the art of pretending. A smile here, a laugh there-little tricks to keep people from looking too closely. But Jack Hotchner looks. And then, so does his father. Aaron Hotchner doesn't believe in coincidences. Not when Jack keeps mentioning how Rain "doesn't feel good" or how she "cries when she thinks no one's watching." Not when she flinches at sudden movements or when she brushes off injuries with too-easy excuses. He's spent his career reading people, and now, he can't unsee the truth written all over Rain's face. So he asks. Gently, carefully. And when she hesitates-when her breath hitches, when her fingers tighten around the hem of her sleeve-he knows. She's in danger. And he won't let her face it alone. When her past comes crashing back, when threats turn into action, the BAU will stand beside her. But it's Hotch who stands in front of her, a silent promise in his eyes: She's his to protect now.

He was supposed to disappear. She was never meant to be found. After vanishing into the Witness Protection Program with his son, Aaron Hotchner is no longer the man he once was. Now he's David Collins-quiet, guarded, a ghost in a sleepy coastal town where no one asks too many questions. The ocean keeps his secrets, and he's learned to live in the silence. Until her. Riley Denver-once known as Sage Hart-was a CIA operative with blood on her hands and fire in her veins. After a mission went wrong and her partner was murdered, she was buried by the same government she served. New name. New life. No choice. They meet by chance in a bookstore. A guarded smile. A shared look. A spark that neither one of them is ready for. But peace doesn't last forever. A familiar face appears in the shadows. A letter arrives with a name Riley swore she'd never hear again. The lies that kept them hidden are starting to crack. Now, they have to choose: Keep running from the past- Or fight for the future they never believed they deserved. Two broken souls. One small town. And a love that could cost them everything.
