After joining the BAU, Isla Rafferty soon learns that fighting crime isn't all it's cracked up to be, especially with Spencer Reid around. [word count: approx. 140,000 words] COMPLETED.

Melinda was never supposed to end up at the BAU. But when her past forces her into the world of serial killers and criminal profiling, she quickly becomes more than just the new recruit-she becomes family. Fierce, funny, and absolutely impossible to ignore, she's a hurricane the team didn't know they needed. Then there's Spencer Reid. Genius. Awkward. Brilliant. Guarded. Until Melinda. What starts as gentle banter turns into unspoken glances, forehead kisses, chaos during briefings, and a relationship that unravels slowly-until it hits like a train. From shared trauma to stolen motel moments and one truly unforgettable "we'll be back in thirty minutes" declaration, Spencer and Melinda rewrite every rule the BAU has ever known about love. In a world built on profiling monsters, sometimes the most unexpected connection is the one that saves you
