{Book One} COMPLETED - SPOILERS PRIOR TO SEASON 12 The BAU were not ready for the arrival of Aaron's Hotchner's secret daughter. not even Hotch himself was ready for her. But when the secret love-child of Hotch and Kate Joyner appears in the FBI's Behavioural Analysis Unit in Quantico, it's the attention of Dr Spencer Reid that allows Agent Brenda Melanie Joyner the one chance she needs to prove everything. "Do you love her?" He asked, looking down at me again suddenly.
 
"It's a simple enough question. You loved Maeve and you lost her, I need to know if you love her too so I can be around to make sure you never lose her." I forced the lump out of my throat by swallowing hard, clearing my throat and rapidly blinking my eyes without looking at Morgan's pressing stare.
"The truth?" I asked, glancing back up at him and he nodded. "I've loved her since the day I sat on the other side of a door and realised she was about to die and I wasn't." * Please note that the characters in this novel are not my own and the rights of which solely belong to the creators of Criminal Minds.
