This is my first book and there is a lot of errors I do apologise.
When former Marine Hope Carey joins the FBI's Behavioral Analysis Unit, she's not just stepping into the nation's most elite profiling team-she's stepping into a warzone of trauma, violence, and secrets. With a five-year-old Son at home, a haunted past behind her, and a sharp mind honed by battlefield instincts, Hope is ready to take on serial killers. What she's not ready for is Supervisory Special Agent Aaron Hotchner.
He's rigid. Controlled. Cold. Everything she isn't.
And everything she shouldn't want.
As cases grow darker and danger draws closer, the walls between them begin to crack. First respect. Then tension. Then something neither can afford to name.
But just as Hope starts to rebuild the life she thought she'd lost-balancing motherhood, fieldwork, and the stirrings of something real-fate rips it all apart. A deployment, a betrayal, a child in danger. And in the middle of it all, the one man who both breaks her heart and steadies her soul.
In a world where every second matters and love is the most dangerous risk of all, Codename: Ivy is a gripping FBI romance packed with high-stakes action, smoldering slow-burn, and the unshakable truth that some hearts are meant to survive anything.

BLAKE | a. hotchner
"It's been awhile," I looked at him with a small smile. "What brings you back here? You're not here because you missed me, are you?" I raised my eyebrows and gave him a sly smirk. He didn't answer, clearly he wasn't in the mood to play. "Don't be shy, Agent, I missed you too," I tilted my head to the right, allowing the corners of my mouth to move upwards. He raised one eyebrow, still locked in his silence, still staring at me. I had had enough of his cold demeanor, he was the one who came to me. "Why are you here, Hotchner?" I asked. "It better not be because you have more questions about my father, because I'm not answering any more of those." I moved my head an inch forward, putting my entangled hands on the table, looking at him intently, making sure he understood. "I want you to work for me," the handsome man in the suit finally spoke. - This is a Criminal Minds story. I do not own Criminal Minds.

The olive branch and the bullet
The Olive Branch and the Bullet A Criminal Minds Fanfiction Novel When Major Esperanza De Santis trades her Marine uniform for a badge, she brings with her a steel will, a sharp mind, and a two-year-old son she's raising on her own. The FBI's Behavioral Analysis Unit is unlike any battlefield she's known-riddled with psychological warfare, emotional fallout, and the burden of always arriving too late. Her mission is simple: build a better life for her son, earn her place on the elite team, and keep her past at bay. But nothing about this job-or the people in it-stays simple for long. Unit Chief Aaron Hotchner is as precise and unreadable as a locked case file, but Esperanza sees through the cracks in his armor. What begins as mutual respect quickly coils into tension, and beneath that, something far more dangerous: possibility. Between solving brutal cases and surviving bureaucratic politics, Esperanza must navigate deployment orders that threaten to tear her away, and family expectations that threaten to unravel the quiet life she's trying to build. As the lines between duty and desire blur, she faces a choice no soldier is trained for-fight for the life she's made... or protect the one she left behind. In a world of darkness, The Olive Branch and the Bullet is a story of resilience, belonging, and the unexpected places we find home. #124 Military -10th June 25 #2 Spencerreid - 11th June 25 #70 American- 12th June 25Complete

Aaron Hotchner Fan Fiction She mistook his car for hers. He mistook her for harmless. Both were wrong. Aaron Hotchner didn't expect to spend his morning arguing with a stranger over a black government-issued SUV.

Hope Carey isn't what she seems. Civilian on the street, soldier in the room. She's guarded, brilliant, impossible to read - and her presence on a joint terrorism case throws Hotch's world into chaos. The BAU doesn't play well with outsiders. And Hotch doesn't get distracted. Until now. As the lines between DOD and DOJ blur, Hope faces a decision that could end her career - or redefine it. And Aaron must confront a truth more dangerous than any case: sometimes, the person who challenges you most is the one you can't walk away from. Do they work it out?
