Love is Such a Strong Word
11 parts Ongoing MatureElle Monroe never expected her transfer to the FBI's Behavioral Analysis Unit to feel like more than just another assignment. After years of burying emotion behind intellect and instinct, the last thing she was looking for was connection-especially not with a man like Dr. Spencer Reid.
Genius. Profiler. Awkward. Brilliant. And maybe just as emotionally guarded as she is.
But something about him pulls her in. Not just his mind, though that's fascinating enough. It's the way he listens, the way he notices things no one else does. The way he sees her-truly sees her-before she's ready to be seen.
As the team works case after case, tracking some of the darkest minds in the country, Elle and Spencer find themselves forming a bond neither of them expected. It's fragile. Complicated. Dangerous in its own right. Because letting someone in means giving them the power to break you.
And in their world, where darkness often wins and trust can be fatal, love might be the most terrifying mystery of all.
