Let me tell you something about myself. Hi, I'm Candace, Candace Russo. Sometimes in life you have bad luck, right? It happens, we've all been there done that, no big deal. You know when you're in a situation where something bad happens to you because you are unlucky, not because you did something wrong, it wasn't your fault. You were just in the wrong place at the wrong time. I escaped a life and a marriage with a trouble man, only to come to New York to face it again, with someone else. And I can truly say that the past came back to bite me in the goddamn ass. James Barnes X OC This story contains 18+ content. ....

Luna Woods joined the Avengers after they saved the world from Thanos. She was reclusive and liked her privacy. She did her job and she did it well. That was all that mattered to Luna and, in her eyes, that was all that should matter to her teammates. However, her partner didn't see it that way. Bucky Barnes knew nothing about the woman Tony had paired him with. Luna was reckless and always tried to do everything on her own. She took needless risks and put herself in danger instead of asking for help. She didn't trust the team to have her back, so how could he trust her to have his? When Tony sends Bucky and Luna on a two month mission that requires them to pose as newlyweds, it's a recipe for disaster. The two can barely stand being in the same room together and now they're expected to live together and pretend to be in love in order to accomplish their mission. Neither expects the mission to go smoothly, but what they don't expect is that this mission will change their lives forever. As Bucky begins digging into Luna's past and unexpected feelings surface, will they be able to navigate the new dynamics of their relationship while fighting off an unexpected threat? They say there's a fine line between love and hate, but neither Bucky nor Luna realized just how thin that line was until they've unknowingly crossed it.

"Life is fifty wrong turns down a bumpy road. All you can hope is that you end up somewhere nice." - Punk 57 *I don't own any of the characters except the OCs. Melanie Lovett was a former CIA Agent. She decided it wasn't in the cards for her to keep doing something that didn't bring her joy. She was recruited by Tony Stark, due to her exemplary credentials, to be Morgan's nanny. Melanie decided to take the job on because it was something different and new. She didn't know that's where she would meet James Buchanan Barnes. The man who loved bumping heads with her at any chance he got. The man who killed her father when she was thirteen years old. She hated him ... almost as much as she wanted him. ‼️ Sort of Dark!Bucky in the beginning so if you're not into that then this story might not be for you. ‼️ 〰️ "Why would she be afraid of you?" Nat asked. Something in her tone had changed but I didn't know what it was. "I don't know. I just met her yesterday," I shrugged. "Hm. Well ... I'm gonna go get suited up. See ya," she ran off. What the hell? Some thing wasn't right. She was hiding something. Something about Melanie ... and I was going to find out. She was lying about something. Violence was why I existed. It was who I was. To dominate and submit all those around me. I was a tool, a monster, an enforcer. I'd done it all because it's all I'd known. All I was taught. Somewhere inside I could still feel it. Even after getting the words out. That dark sinister part of me was still there. The caged soldier inside. Something about Melanie would make it come out. Maybe because she might've also had a caged animal inside. I itched to let it out. To let them play. 〰️ Tropes found in book: Enemies to Lovers Grumpy x Sunshine Fake Dating Bodyguard He falls first.
