Then when she finally agreed she got, breakfast chaos, rooftop conversations, and a certain brooding supersoldier who somehow got past her walls. And when an old threat rises with ties to time itself, Kalihah finds herself at the heart of a war that could shatter everything - including her carefully built armor. Powerful, sharp-tongued, and emotionally allergic, Kalihah must decide what it means to stay, to fight, and maybe... to belong.

She was trained to remember everything. He was built to forget. She ran like survival was inherited. He followed like he'd been programmed to. When their paths cross again, it's not fate - it's fallout. Somewhere between orders and instinct, they remembered what it meant to be human - and what it costs to stay that way. And this time, survival might mean destroying the only person who ever felt like home.

A year after the world was snapped back, Lena tries her best to adjust to being alive after five long years. She lives a simple life, trying to fill up the vacancy that her previous memories left. After the dust settled after the final battle against Thanos, Bucky struggled for months after to accept the fact that Lena is gone. So when he finds out that she's still alive, and that she may have never been snapped away like they both thought she was, he's determined to find the truth-and to get her back. Conspiracies, lies, betrayal-and maybe even love- is all that awaits these two as they seek to unfurl the secrets that changed the trajectory of their lives. ---- TRIGGER WARNING: This book has sexual content, violence, and depictions of torture.
