Fresh out of medical school and fueled by a relentless need to save everyone, Ophelia Jones had only one dream-join Stark Industries. She expected long hours and high pressure. She didn't expect to be promoted overnight by Tony Stark himself, or to find herself embedded in the chaos of the Avengers' missions as their lead team doctor. Thrown into a whirlwind of combat zones, classified tech, and impossible injuries, Ophelia quickly proves she's more than just a healer-she's a lifeline. But nothing is more dangerous than the wounded soldier who refuses to be saved. Bucky Barnes is a ghost haunted by his past, all ice and steel beneath his surface. Ophelia knows better than to fall for someone like him. But every mission brings them closer, every near-death encounter draws them deeper into each other's orbit, until their connection becomes as undeniable as it is reckless. Love was never part of the mission. But in a world of gods and monsters, it might be the only thing worth fighting for.
