Tatum Greer hadn't expected to ever leave her life, calm and lonely with nobody who knew her, but when Hotch called, she didn't hesitate. She owed him too much to say no. Years ago, he pulled her out of a situation she still doesn't talk about, and though she's rebuilt her life into something polished and capable, that kind of debt never leaves you. Now, as the FBI's youngest-ever media liaison, Tatum is all sharp smiles and fast thinking, the perfect buffer between chaos and cameras - until she meets Spencer Reid. He's brilliant in ways that make her nervous, and kind in ways that make her furious, and he notices far too much. She's spent years surviving by staying two steps ahead of everyone in the room, but Spencer? He's already there, asking questions she's not ready to answer. As the team hunts monsters, Tatum finds herself caught between the man who helped raise her back to her feet and the one who's starting to see the cracks she tried to seal shut. She thought she was done needing anyone. She was wrong.
