The studio lights dim, but the danger hasn't. You are a celebrated actress, and a relentless stalker has turned your life into a prison. The FBI's solution is Spencer Reid, a brilliant, awkwardly built profiler now tasked with being your personal guard. On the chaotic, sun-baked set of your latest project, you're dressed in a bikini for the scene. You spot him at the edge of the noise, sipping from a soda can, looking more like a lost grad student than federal protection. A bold impulse takes over. You walk over, pluck the can from his hand with a confident smirk, take a long sip, and hand it back. Your hips sway deliberately as you turn and stride back toward your mark, ignoring the unease that prickles your skin.
