Sometimes when you go looking for the past, you find things you never expected. When an accident brings him face to face with something he never knew he lost, Bucky Barnes begins to understand an age old truth - it's so easy, sometimes, to love the things that destroy us.

"You call my name and I'll run to you. I'll always come for you. Do you understand? You're safe with me." When an unknown threat enters your life, protection is offered at the highest level. One catch. The man is infuriating. Finding a way to co-exist with Bucky Barnes seems impossible, until suddenly it's not. When the dark horrors of the past are resurrected, when new players emerge from the shadows, the game suddenly changes. Bound together by a common enemy, you find yourself face-to-face with an unexpected realization. Falling for the man tasked with keeping you safe, is the last thing you expected. This should be interesting.
