Amelia "Mia" DeLuca has lived her life in silence. Abandoned as a child, scarred by the people meant to love her, and hardened by years of survival, she's built walls so high that no one has ever scaled them-no one except Emily Prentiss. Together, they shared secrets in ivy-covered halls at Yale, and later, they bled for a classified task force that nearly cost them everything. Now, years later, Mia steps into the Behavioural Analysis Unit. With her fluent Italian, razor-sharp instincts, and an icy facade, she fits seamlessly into the team of profilers who live in shadows. To everyone else, she is unreadable..untouchable. Everyone except him. Unit Chief Aaron Hotchner has mastered control. After loss and betrayal, he has no room left for vulnerability. But something in Mia calls to him: the darkness she hides, the scars she won't show, the fire that breaks through when she slips into Italian. Against every instinct, Hotch finds himself drawn to her. As cases push the BAU to its limits and Mia's past threatens to resurface, two guarded souls will have to choose: keep hiding behind their shadows and scars... or risk everything for the one person who sees them clearly. A story of secrets, trust, and a love that refuses to stay buried.

Astra Leone was built to be a weapon, her parents thrived on her being an unstoppable tool at their disposal. To be only for their benefit and to do their bidding. Her sole purpose was to live and die for family, nothing more. They did the absolute most in trying to shut her off from human emotions and to get rid of her hesitation. And it worked. She shut herself off from the things labeled as a weakness and being a distraction to her purpose. And even after she had enough and ran from her family she couldn't shake her lessons from her mind. They were built into her and made her who she was, an emotionless soldier. Astra has always known for a fact that her family had eyes on her. And when she returns to the United States it was for one thing and one thing only, revenge. To end the things that even when she slept haunted her. But what happens when she gets an offer from the FBI to work at the BAU? Even though it was very odd, she couldn't deny that it would be very helpful to her in the long run of her plans. The only problem with that is the teams nosiness in wanting to know more about her. They ask her questions in hopes to get to know her and notice her odd behaviors of wanting to keep them at arms length. Most of all her boss Aaron Hotchner can't help but show his strong dislike to her. That's not the problem though, the problem is that he's insufferably attractive. And Astra is having a hard time keeping emotions she hasn't felt before at bay for him and his team. What happens when Astra allows herself to open up and actually feel? Or when Aaron Hotchners supposed hate for Astra is something more? . . *slow burn for the most part* (I do not own any of the criminal minds characters, I only own Astra as well as additional add on characters) (I do not own any of the media that is throughout the book) 18+ Smut warning! This story does contain graphic sex scenes Not edited.

in which they miss each other ♡

When Aria joins the BAU, her reckless instincts and fiery attitude clash hard with Aaron Hotchner's cold, controlled discipline. Sparks fly as their arguments turn heated and the tension between them boils over. Despite their differences-and maybe because of them-they fall into a no-strings-attached arrangement that's anything but simple. The chemistry is undeniable, the boundaries blur, and what started as enemies with benefits begins to burn into something deeper. Lovers.
