"I don't need your help and I never will"
Cole Bouchard tries to reassure herself that everything is fine. Her haunted past cannot find her here in Washington DC. Besides that, she's got a new job at the BAU as a statistician. They aren't ever going to send her anywhere farther than the coffee machine in the breakroom. The only problem she encounters, one which was unforeseeable, is the genius who keeps correcting her math.

When Violet joins the BAU, she expects to prove herself as an agent, not to be haunted by her past. But secrets don't stay buried forever-especially not when Spencer Reid, the team's brilliant profiler, uncovers the truth. Violet isn't just another recruit. She's the sister of Tobias Hankel, the man who once nearly destroyed Spencer's life.
At first, Spencer wants nothing to do with her. But as cases bring them closer together, he begins to see Violet for who she truly is-not her past, not her brother, but someone who understands him in ways no one else does. Their connection is undeniable, but with danger lurking around every corner, trust isn't easy.
As they navigate the darkness of their jobs and their own fears, one question remains: Can love survive in a world where monsters are real?
