"Teach each other to be normal," he recalled her words smiling, "I like the sound of that." Two strangers, both carrying unspoken burdens, find their lives intertwined in the undercurrent of a city that never sleeps. Spencer, a man driven by a restless need for answers and control, has spent years burying his darker impulses beneath a professional facade. Emory, a woman whose own vices have become her refuge, drifts through life with a quiet intensity, hiding a side of herself that even she's unsure of. What starts as a fragile bond built on unspoken understanding soon teeters on the edge of something neither is ready for. As they spiral closer to each other, they must confront the parts of themselves they've spent years hiding, unsure whether they're saving each other-or simply sinking together.

❝ But I'm only human and I bleed when I fall down ❞ The Behavioral Analysis Unit gets called in to assist on a serial killer case in New York. That's where they meet Special Agent Skylar Brown, a former military recruit with a past guarded better than Fort Knox, but it's her help during their first case together that ultimately leads Hotch to offer her a job at the BAU. Of course, she sparks the interest of all of her new co-workers, but no one is as interested in her as Doctor Spencer Reid. As far as clichès go, though, affection like that tends to either bring forth a happy ending or end in disaster. Spencer never planned to fall in love with his best friend and neither did Skylar, but with her past coming back to haunt her and the team, she knows she has to choose their happiness over her own to protect the people she loves the most.
