Cross my Heart and Hope to Die

Aaron Hotchner hates journalists.
In his personal ranking of disdain, they sit just below the monsters he hunts-and dangerously close to Erin Strauss.
But when an attention-seeking UnSub pulls the BAU into Washington's editorial scene, Hotch finds himself working alongside a journalist who has mastered the art of fading into the background.
Ask any employee at The Herald to describe Kendra Mayer, and they would tell you she a pensive, unambitious, and self-controlled woman; a reliable yet almost transparent presence, incapable of winning a game of chess but brilliant at her job.
But behind that quiet façade, Kendra guards more than one secret-and a past that, unknown to her, is preparing to hunt her down.

Washington is only the first point of contact between two lives that, partly by chance and partly by choice, will gravitate toward one another until they become indissoluble.
