{Book Two} COMPLETED - SPOILERS PRIOR TO SEASON 12 It's been two and a half years since Melanie Hotchner last stepped foot inside the BAU in Quantico, Virginia. During that time almost everything has changed, including the new BAU in Albany, New York. "You have to heal, Reid." He nodded his head and smiled. "I have. In my own way. I'm with Dylan now." "I know that. But just because you've moved on and you're with someone else, doesn't mean you've forgotten or gotten over what you and Melanie had." They say time is a healer, but not everybody can be healed. The endless respect everyone once held for Melanie is now shrinking, running tension and emotions high. "Profilers. We're logical, observant, fast. We're not sneaky or suspicious or sly or liars, Spence. We shouldn't be doing this. This isn't who we are. And if you're even a shred of the man I fell in love with, you'll realise just how mad this is." But as usual, Melanie's past finds a way of catching up with her, and begs the question; has too much water gone under the bridge for her and Spencer? Old ghosts come back to haunt her and have her running back to what she's always known.

{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.
