    Summary

    Celia “Lia” White joins the BAU with sharp instincts, rigid control, and a past locked behind iron walls. She’s strong, guarded, and impossible to read — except by the people who slowly become her first real safety net in years.

    She never expected to trust anyone.
    The BAU never expected someone like her.

    Investigating monsters is one thing.
    Learning to be vulnerable around a team that sees too much is another.
