    Summary

    Something about her unsettled him from the moment they met. Maybe it was his lingering sadness about Emily’s departure. Maybe it was his bias from having already met—and accepted—a new teammate in Blake. Maybe it was the smokescreen about her background, or her sharp, unwavering attention on anyone she spoke to, or how her lips were so perfectly symmetrical that Spencer thought they may have broken the laws of biology.

    --

    Dr. Spencer Reid isn’t good with change. Or new people. Or trusting others. And he doesn’t trust the BAU’s newest agent, even if she was recommended by Emily. For four years, they haunt the halls with tense glares and petty arguments.

    Until Spencer goes to prison.

    He doesn’t expect their bitter rivalry to thaw into a reluctant friendship. He doesn’t expect to be released to find her happily coupled up. But mostly, he doesn’t expect to fall in love with someone clever, cunning, and too ambitious for her own good.

    Someone properly foxlike.
