Description
She was trained to negotiate with killers. He was trained to lead his team into the fire. Neither was prepared to face the spark between them. Claire Matthews is the newest addition to the BAU-sharp, headstrong, hostage negotiator, with a Marine past, eager to prove herself among the best of the best. But proving herself means clashing with Unit Chief Aaron Hotchner, a man built from steel, discipline, and walls so high no one dares climb them. From crime scenes to stakeouts, Claire and Hotch are forced closer together-their banter cutting as deep as the unspoken pull that keeps sparking between them. Everyone else sees it, the fire building, the tension, ready to ignite. But falling for your boss isn't just complicated.... It's prohibited. You can only smother a fire for so long before it explodes. ************************** Hi, I'm excited to share this with everyone to read. I have never written anything longer than a school paper, so please be gentle with me. The idea for this story originated mainly from my desire to read a story like this. I hate it when I am reading a fanfiction and the characterization is all wrong, or the story moves too fast. Or when all rules and protocol go out the window, I prefer to keep my writing grounded in the reality of the work that inspired it. I really hope everyone enjoys this book I have worked so hard on. Please comment and let me know if there is any way I could improve it!
