Juliet Burke has been working at a leading medical facility for over ten years. Her name is floated as one of the breakthrough scientists in fertility drug development, she's more successful than she'd ever thought she'd be. But it always comes at a cost. Her husband left, finally finding someone less dedicated to her work to come home to. It's no surprise to her when she comes home late one evening to find him in bed with another woman.

Over the next few months, she starts seeing high risk cancer survivors desperate to conceive. One couple in particular is adamant. But after everything, sometimes Juliet just can't help, and they lose the baby. It happens to other couples, and this one, she doesn't hear from again. They don't attempt to try over.

And Juliet doesn't think about it again. It's close to three months later the first time she gets a threat in the mail. Something vague. Two weeks later there's another letter, and when she comes home from work, it's obvious someone's been in her apartment. She's scared, though the police come. And while she's sure they will do their job well, she's better connected than that.

There's an ex in her past, someone she's still on good terms with, whom she still greatly respects. But the moment was never right for them. David Rossi, a member of the BAU. She looks up his phone number, glancing at the officer in her front yard before sitting on her couch, hoping he answers.
