She was never scared of heights. 

Avery Woodsen has spent years clawing her way up the political ladder. She's fought and sacrificed to get where she is; she's more than ready to see the fruits of her labor. Finally, it's her chance to get one step closer to her dream - one step closer to D.C., a shiny city just waiting for her. Her time at the California Attorney General's office has come to an end. 

She's sacrificed everything for this. She would sacrifice anything to keep it. 

But when the attorney general seems to be targeted by a gun-wielding coward, Avery finds herself in the crosshairs. There's no manifesto to give her answers, and no suspect to question. Her ladder has collapsed. Will the security team sent from Greystone Security be enough to keep her safe? Will the trained, handsome man forced to be her protective shadow be able to keep her away from danger? Or will her desire to move up in her career have too strong of a pull? 

Or is what's tugging her not her career at all, but Reed Sterling himself? 

Trust no one. Except him.

Bulletproof (Agent #1)|WATTYS2019 by Completely_Yours

☆ FEATURED in Wattpad's official New Adult account under 'There's Only One Bed | Romance' *** Vivian Rose Stone. HAC's best junior agent. She is given one assignment that will change her life forever. Guns? She can deal with. Trained killers? She can destroy. But when Aiden Matthew Reece enters her life as her next assignment, she is definitely not ready for that. She's his bodyguard and there's only one problem - protecting him has never been so difficult. Not with his constant flirting and several ex-military men chasing after them, out for their blood. And definitely not with the repeated life and death situations they are put in. With a lot of guns, training, arguments, and running for their lives, Vivian finds herself slowly but surely letting her guard down. In Aiden's presence, Vivian realises she is no longer bulletproof. *** "I'm never going to fall for you, Aiden." "Really? Because I think you already have." *** Highest Rankings: #1 in Bulletproof - 18/10/19 #1 in Bodyguard - 18/05/19 #1 in HAC - 05/04/19 #1 in Rich - 18/05/19 #1 in Trained - 20/07/19 #1/3.5K in Agents - 09/12/19 Start: August 8th 2018 (My birthday!)

Profiling Love (A Derek Morgan FanFic) by LokillA4

"You work this case like you work any other" I tell him as I look up at his tall frame from my sitting position at my work desk. I look back down and start to read the files of the new case. His hands forcefully land on the corners of my desk, but my eyes never falter from the witness reports. His large hand connects to the bottom of my chin, his thumb gripping the top of it, strong enough to separate my lips slightly. "You don't need to explain how to do my job to me Isla." He whispers as he stares straight into my eyes. I slyly smirk and lean closer to his lips stopping centimeters from them. "Well someone has to Mo-" I start to say before his lips forcefully enfold mine shutting me up. ★*ﾟ*☆*ﾟ*★*ﾟ*☆*ﾟ*★★*ﾟ*☆*ﾟ*★*ﾟ*☆*ﾟ*★★*ﾟ*☆*ﾟ*★*ﾟ*☆*ﾟ*★★*ﾟ*☆*ﾟ*★*ﾟ*☆*ﾟ*★ Isla Del la Cruz worked hard to get to her new position at the BAU.

Venom by chloerainx_

[COMPLETE] Might be 18+, but honestly we all know half the reads will be 18- ;) --- New York, year 2021, the Three Outlaw Towers scrape the gray sky of the Big Apple. The Peak, The Den and The Abyss are the greatest - and wealthiest - associations of outlaws in the entire world. The Viper, Helen Grace Donovan, 22, interpreter, assassin, and Heir of the Abyss. The Cobra, Dean Warren, 26, CEO of one of the greatest banks worldwide, assassin, and Heir of the Peak. Ever since she became an assassin three years ago after a tragic death, the Viper has kept her identity secret, staining her hands with the blood of people who never knew the face of their killer. Some people call her Death, some call her a myth. But she's very real. And very pissed. Her new job is to kill her sworn enemy Dean Warren, giving her boss Derek Dawson monopoly of the Peak. Her knowledge of four languages - Italian, English, Spanish and French - will give her an excuse to go undercover as Dean's new interpreter, thanks to the unfortunate passing of his old one. Though, what happens when the truth of their secretly entwined past comes out just as they find out they'll have to work together against a greater threat? Neither of them is a saint. Both of them are trained assassins. But what else are they? Enemies? Lovers? Or could they be both? --- I will put specific tags in the first chapter for the trigger warnings. Please proceed with caution and RESPECT.
