With a young son who cries more than he smiles, a house in a frontier town plagued by violence, a job that all but guarantees heartache, and a death certificate for his first wife, Sheriff Aaron Hotchner cannot imagine anyone wanting to marry him. But at the urging of his few friends and family, he places an advertisement in a national paper seeking a woman of fortitude who can love his boy and tolerate his temperament.
Victoria Beauregard cannot imagine ever wanting to marry someone. She stopped believing in romance and happy endings years ago, too busy trying to survive on her own and outrun her past. But when an advertisement in the paper catches her eye, she cannot stop wondering what life would be like on the frontier with the widower and his son.

━ 𝐑𝐞𝐩𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐃𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐦𝐬, Hotchniss
"Her hug was almost unconscious; weak, tender, and cold. Like in her dreams, Emily was too afraid to touch him, to embrace him as she had always wished she could- afraid of him dissolving slowly with her hands still lingering in the air and her desperate fingers trying to grasp any remnants of his fading image, reaching for any particles of him she saw flying away. She knew that feeling well. Countless nightmares camouflaged as mellow dreams had taught her that. But now, he hadn't evaporated from her sight; he wasn't fading away, and she couldn't understand how." Aaron Hotchner was forced to fake his death and leave his pregnant wife and child, how would Emily react to him showing up at the BAU almost one year later?

Six months after Aaron and Emily separated and during a night out with their team, they found themselves alone, intoxicated, and dangerously close. To prevent themselves from repeating past mistakes Emily proposed an arrangement. And they agreed- It was just sex, purely physical, devoid of any lingering emotions or attachments. They both labeled the longing and old feelings they experienced as a combination of satisfaction with the convenient deal and a natural attraction. However they also acknowledged that it would eventually come to an end. They agreed that once one of them met someone new, they would stop. Aaron eventually did and was ready to move on. Weeks later, Emily took several unexplained days off, leaving Aaron confused when she finally returned, she acted coldly, making it clear that she no longer wished to be around him. As a result, they grew distant from each other, giving up the ability to communicate. Will their relationship change when they go undercover to apprehend a serial killer? Secrets, grudges, and guilt come into play. Will Emily ever reveal to Aaron what happened? [𝐅𝐨𝐜𝐮𝐬𝐞𝐬 𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐦 𝐝𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐧 𝐔𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐜𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐎𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧]Complete
