Elle Monroe never expected her transfer to the FBI's Behavioral Analysis Unit to feel like more than just another assignment. After years of burying emotion behind intellect and instinct, the last thing she was looking for was connection-especially not with a man like Dr. Spencer Reid. Genius. Profiler. Awkward. Brilliant. And maybe just as emotionally guarded as she is. But something about him pulls her in. Not just his mind, though that's fascinating enough. It's the way he listens, the way he notices things no one else does. The way he sees her-truly sees her-before she's ready to be seen. As the team works case after case, tracking some of the darkest minds in the country, Elle and Spencer find themselves forming a bond neither of them expected. It's fragile. Complicated. Dangerous in its own right. Because letting someone in means giving them the power to break you. And in their world, where darkness often wins and trust can be fatal, love might be the most terrifying mystery of all.

Before he was Jasper Hale, he was Major Whitlock-a Confederate officer who left behind more than just the battlefield. He left behind her. Eden was a quiet force during the chaos of war-a young nurse with gentle hands, a steel spine, and eyes that never forgot the wounded soldier with the southern drawl. But war tore them apart, and death should have kept it that way... until immortality gave her a second chance. Over a century later, their paths cross again in a sleepy Washington town, where memories bleed into the present and the past refuses to stay buried. Jasper doesn't recognize the mysterious vampire who calls him by a name long lost to time-but she remembers everything. As secrets unravel and old scars reopen, Jasper must face the truth: the girl he once thought lost to war may be the one person who truly knew him. But time has changed them both. And while Eden carries the past in her heart, Jasper carries a future he never believed he deserved.
