Summary

It is, without a doubt, the loveliest sound she has heard in years.''

Summary
Emily Prentiss is the daughter of a highly respected duchess in Victorian England. Her life is dressed in luxury and yet she often finds herself dreaming of something more. Her mother is cold and harsh, eventually arranging a marriage between her and Lord Aaron Hotchner. However, upon meeting the Crown Princess Jennifer Jareau, everything changes.
The two become close friends, often dancing on the edge of something more before they’re willing to admit it. But they cannot deny the almost electrical charge of the space between them whenever they’re together, nor can they deny the knot in each of their stomachs when they’re not with each other. But, JJ is set to marry Sir William Lamontagne. However, despite societal norms and husbands, the two find themselves hopelessly in love.

“I would have these thoughts..”
“Thoughts?”
“That he wasn't good enough for her..”
Suddenly she's back in that muggy precinct in Miami, watching as the heroine of her wildest desires and dreams tries so desperately to hide her feelings for the young Louisianan detective behind a facade of indifference. Emily could always see right through her.
OR the one where Emily has certain flashbacks during her conversation with Rossi in 17x8 that make her realize they really aren't that much different after all.

As tensions rise and trust fractures, Emily finds herself drawn to someone outside the Bureau’s reach: someone who sees the parts she’s tried hardest to hide.
As lines blur between justice and vengeance, strength and surrender, Emily must choose what and who she’s willing to risk when the silence is no longer enough.
Some monsters hide in the shadows. Others wear your face. -

"Everyone has this tendency to go back to what they know best, even if detrimental; because there is nothing frightening in destruction and darkness when you already know it by heart."
This had always been Emily's way. She was broken, she knew. And coping never had been something she was good at.

‘The crisis of today is the joke of tomorrow - H.G. Wells’. The list of people Rebecca could trust that weren’t on Rupert's payroll was painfully short. She didn’t expect the person she called to be a FBI agent who had been undercover investigating her soon to be ex-husband and his associates.
When she’d retired the Lauren Reynolds cover, Emily firmly believed she was done with Interpol and undercover operations. That changed with a phone call.
